"Middle School Football Massacre"
by Jeremy LaRue

The Onekama seventh and eighth grade football team has had a challenging season. The teams they played are Brethren, Manistee, Manistee Catholic Central, Glen Lake, and Mesick.The team won one out of six games this season. Eighth grader John Yonkers says his favorite position is #2 back; his least favorite position is safety. His favorite things are running the ball, hitting people, and just having fun. He scored one goal but helped score many of the rest.

“We tried really hard. Some of the teams we lost to, if we played them now, we’d beat them,” commented quarterback Ryan Brown. “We’ll kill them all next year!” added Curtiss O’Rorke Stedman.

Comments:

In the game against MCC-Jake Z. had the ball, was dragging a few opponents with him and losing steam when Lance Osborn merely picked him up and shoved him over the 1st down marker! Probably not "according to Hoyle" but hey...whatever works!

Again, at the MCC game, after some play Taylor Fraley yelled out, "that's for you coach Hunter!"

The Brown's graciously grilled dinner and handed out pop and chips to all the players after the game at Glen Lake! Big thanks to them for their kindness.

Words from "DA coach": The offensive line and defensive line started to really come together as a unit more and more each game. Mike Cole, Cameron Smith, Clayton-the snowplow-Setzer, Jacob Carruthers, Kyle, the Griz, Taylor Fraley, Brandon Schram, Lance Osborn, and Stockfish will be an awesome combination for next year's Middle School football team!
