So, the football game on Friday night was probably the best blessing I could have ever been apart of. I thank God that He let me be apart of this great football team, and just go through a little bit of my everyday with them.
We went into the game thinking "It's our last chance to go out of Bogle Field with a victory, and show the whole county that Cave Spring is a force to be reckoned with" We also wanted to erase all the doubt that we can beat Grundy. So what if they had a better record? We have beaten teams way better than them.
Anyway, we started off the game with us kicking off to them. My first start of Varsity, and I'm in the first play of the game. I was pretty excited, so I was just going to go out there and give it my best. We kicked it off to them, and they fumble the ball, then we recover it. Knights ball baby. It was at that point that they knew who had just hit them.
I think it was safe to say that Josh Woodrum was the leader of the team on this night. Josh was so focused on showing the world that the Cave Spring Knights, really are, THE BEST! I know that he and the other seniors want to win states this year so bad, that they will literally stop at NOTHING to get there. I know that they all have the heart for it, and I know that we can get to where we want to be.
Well the first play of the game after the kickoff would have went very well for us if we had not gotten that holding penalty. However, that penalty said very little about the outcome of the first drive. If I remember correctly, we scored like less than 4 plays later. This game was off to a very good start for us
After that we went on a rampage, no, a killing spree. They went for like 6 three and outs in the first half alone! The Grundy guys were physically unable to control us when we got rolling. We just moved up and down the field on them pretty much the whole time that our first team was in. We go into the half with a score of 43-0. Pretty embarrasing for the guys in Grundy right?
We come out, we pretty much know we control this game to the very end. We were already putting second team people in when we score our 7th touchdown of the game. We put our second team offense in, and there is probably one spot where we need more work. Anyway, we had our second teams in the whole 2nd half basically.
The end of the game is drawing near, and I think to myself "This was the best game I have ever been apart of, and Thank God that He let me be there". Final score to this game 50-14. By the way, they scored on our JV team with their first string Varsity. So don't think that they are actually good enough to score on us.
So we have earned ourselves another 2,880 seconds. That's how long a football game lasts for our 12 minute quarters. We go into this next game going to play Richlands. Yes, they are undefeated, but they don't understand that their record doesn't mean anything to us. We beat Salem when they were 5-0. record of the other team doesn't mean anything right now. They also faced a team that was 3-7 in the playoffs. That tells a lot about them doesn't it? They killed them, but we killed a team that had a better record than us. Let's go Richlands, let's see how well you can hold up against the Knights.
