The final whistle blew on the field, and the crowd roared with excitement. The long hard battle against Leonardtown was finally over, and the team received their first victory of the season. Tired of constant playing and running, the players stood in a single file lines and showed great sportsmanship after the game. After the “good game” walk, the boys rallied up in the inzone on the home side of the field and formed a circle. Uniting hands, they began cheering and celebrating their Homecoming victory. The team started a chant and began yelling and screaming along with the crowd. Everyone gazed up at the scoreboard which stated a 26-0 domination.
“As a leader on the field, my job is to calm everyone in the huddle and to make sure they all understand what needs to be done on the next play.” said quarterback Patrick Cleary, senior. Cleary scored two touchdowns himself, looking untouchable to the defense. The defensive line made a complete roadblock to the Leonardtown offense and never let them step one foot into their inzone.
“The type of offense Leonardtown ran was designed to sustain long drives, so we had to keep our composure. We basically had to bend and not break.” said defensive end Manuel Imel, sophmore. Imel was a new addition to the Varsity team after being on Junior Varsity for the first couple of season games.
Through it all, varsity put their heart into every play and edured the pain and pressure they expierenced throughout the game. Their win was the beginning to a Homecoming that the team will never forget.
