Cougar Football- Week 8

Another important topic on this blog will be that of sports, more specifically in honor of the season, football. I’ve been playing tackle football since elementary, and it continues to play a hugely significant role in my life, I work year round playing the sport, practicing for it, and conditioning and strengthening my body for it. I hope to be able to fund a large portion of my college tuition, by playing the sport for my after- high school institution.
Today (Friday October 17th), I’m merely hours away from my team’s eighth game of the season. We will be playing football at Dubuque Hempstead’s Lazell Stadium. This will be the farthest away I’ve ever travelled to play ball, but I need to train myself to the fact of not being effected by traveling if I’m to play any college football. If we win tonight we will be 5-3, which guarantees the Cougars of a winning regular season, a major accomplishment in the Mississippi Valley Conference. This also will insure Kennedy’s spot in substate, and with a win today and next Friday it will give us a favorable advantage for this upcoming substate game.
Dubuque Hempstead has a “Division 1” runningback who has already signed on for Iowa State. They are a good football team, who offensively runs the “wing-t” formation as their standard. On the other hand, Kennedy has one of the best defenses in the league, and our offense is rapidly improving game by game. (This post will be updated after the game.)

On Friday night the Cougars came to play some ball. We spoiled the Hempstead Mustang’s homecoming with a 21- 12 win. We dominated Dubuque’s offense and held them to 69 yards for the entire game. We continue to vastly improve offensively, and had great success with the running and pass game. The Kennedy Cougars have a home game at Kingston next week againist Dubuque Walhert, it should be another great game.
