The long awaited Lady Grey Ghosts football game was last Thursday October 20th. The games consisted of the Freshman vs. Seniors and Sophomores vs. Juniors to find who would be competing in the final game.
First game Seniors ruled the turf. The Freshmen team came out strong but lost their spark after the seniors got the first touchdown.
After the touchdown the seniors were pumped. They kept the game on the Freshmen defensive end, and even when the Freshmen broke out, the Seniors were there to stop the rush.
One tackle halfway through the first half led to a fight on the field between two girls from opposing teams. Punches were thrown and teachers broke in.
After recovering from the fight the Seniors came out with a bang. They scored two more touchdowns, crushing the Freshman 32-0 and moving on to the final game.
The Sophomore-Junior game was deemed to be much more entertaining and fair than the Senior-Freshman game.
The Sophomore team held up a good fight against the Juniors with no score after the first half.
“I feel like they should keep the Junior versus Sophomore game fair. It’s more fun to watch that way,” said sophomore Emily Chateauneuf.
After holding it even until the last five minutes of the game, the Juniors finally got a touchdown but the Sophomores held off the extra point attempt.
“I thought we had a chance to win but I wasn’t sure. Keeping it down to one touchdown was a great accomplishment,” said Chateauneuf.
With just one touchdown in the game, the Juniors eliminated the Sophomores from the tournament and moved onto the final game against the Seniors.
Junior Sage Riddick commented, “Yeah the Juniors didn’t think they would win. It was a relief. The Sophomores had way more practice than us.”
Although the Juniors put up a good fight, they couldn’t compete with the Seniors, losing by just one touchdown. Seniors won the final game and claimed the title as Lady Grey Ghost Football champions.
“It wasn’t a surprise the seniors beat us, but I was surprised we only let up one touchdown. It was a fun experience.” Said Riddick.
