Great game by the Cougars. Team is comprised of 8th, 9th, and 10th graders only, agreed to by both coaches. Several 8th graders, I might add. No one over the age of 15 started for us last night, and only one16 year old played late in the game. Our boys are having to step up and play varsity this year because our team is so young. Obviously the experience on varsity has made a difference when they face their peers, but don’t hold it against our players. We should be able to face each other on the field and let the boys decide the outcome without petty accusations by adults.

Indeed, EA’s team was mostly varisty, but I guaranty all players met the age and grade requirement. EA”s varisty squad lost a lot of seniors last year and these boys that Northview played last night are the ones that were left to fill those empty gaps. Both teams played very well last night; great athletes on both teams. The football programs in this area will be dangerous in years to come.

Good job Chiefs. One day you will get to play a JV team that’s not loaded up with varsity players. Stand strong and hold your head high , you held your own against EA’s mostly varsity team lastnight.
