The Blue Dragons Junior High team is ready to rumble, with a larger squad than years past. The 12 eighth grade and 10 seventh grade students opened their season against Viborg Hurley on Monday, August 29. The opening game was successful, with the team winning 30-22.
"Many of the returning players will bring plenty of field experience from last year's relatively small squad," said Head Coach Tony Johnson. "They are an extremely tight group that expects a lot from one another. They've played together a ton, and it shows in how they work together on the field."
Along with Johnson are volunteer coaches Ernie Smith and Tony Olson.
Johnson stated the team practices can be competitive, but they know it's to make them stronger and everyone remains positive.
"Everybody keeps the focus on what they can do to help the team," he said. "Anybody who takes the field against the Blue Dragons will have their work cut out for them this year!"
The Junior High Dragons will play Alcester-Hudson on their turf on Friday, September 9 at 4:30 p.m.
