Coach's Summary

The team did a nice job on Saturday. We got off to a fast start and scored on almost every drive on offense. Our defense was tough to move the ball on and the defensive line created a lot of issues for the Central run game. When we had the opportunity on special teams, the group did a nice job. Overall, it was an efficient game, we came out on top on the road versus a conference opponent which is always good. We have plenty of things that we need to continue to work on and will hopefully be a little bit better at those things this upcoming week. The only negative from the game vs Central was the injury to a key member of our team, senior, Devin Boles. He has been exceptional for us on the field and in his preparation for every game. We will miss his leadership and passion on the field.

Coach's Summary

The freshman football team dominated the Central Little Green improving their winning streak to four in a row. The 36-0 victory was credited to the team’s strong defense and running game. The defensive line held the Little Green to minimal yards on defense. The offense was on fire with superior running from running back Odin Delorey. The team looks to keep things going this Thursday against Nashua North.
