Football Report

By James M.

Winning their first game 28 to 14, the varsity football team starts off the season strong. Due to many different aspects of the game, including good defense, great blocking, and a great running and passing game, the eighteen 8th and 9th graders could not be stopped last Thursday. I had the opportunity to meet with tight end Brandon S. to talk about the season.

JM - How does it feel to be a cougar?

BS - It feels good.

JM - Looking back on last week’s game, how do you feel about your team’s performance?

BS - It went well for our first game. Dawson J., Cole F., and living legend Corey W. all had key runs that contributed to our victory. Also, CJ made some great passes to gain lots of yards. The defense played well and had lots of good stops, and no one could get through our offensive line.

JM – How was the game against Greenwich?

BS – Although we lost we fought hard throughout the game. We played well despite injuries. It was a good game.

MS - How is the leadership from the 9th grade within your team?

BS - It‘s good. They set a great example.

JM - What is your favorite NFL team?

BS - Go Pats!

JM - Goals for the season?

BS -Improve at football, win some games, and have some fun.

JM - Any games in particular?

BS - I think every game is equally important.

JM - Any Shout outs?

BS - No…

Great things are expected from this group of boys. I hope they do well throughout the season. Let‘s go, Cougars!
