TOUCHDOWN!!! By: Celeste VanHoozier

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to play football? What position you would play and how hard it would be to play it is the question I asked some 7th football players. Also I asked how they got pumped up for their games.

Brian Orkis (7th gr. Defensive Tackle & Offensive guard #75) said,”It’s not hard to learn, all you have to do is listen to the coach. We get pumped by slapping each others pads and saying,’ Are you ready?’”

Samuel DeLeon (7th gr. Tackle #72) says, ”It’s very easy to learn to tackle because all you do is block and push back. We get pumped by doing drills.”

Dylan Rothery (7th gr. Guard #58) replied,” It was not hard at all to learn my position. I get pumped by stretching.”

Football is a fun and aggressive sport and you get to play all kinds of teams from other nearby towns. Playing on a recreational team is a little different than playing for LMS. That is why I encourage everyone to try playing sport for the school.
