Following a day off from school, the 7th Grade Football Team gathered on Wednesday afternoon to take on the Benedictine Middies. Although the damp and dreary conditions were not ideal for their fans, both teams seemed to enjoy the chance to play in the rain. Both squads competed hard, but as the final horn sounded, the Saints had come away with a convincing victory.
The 7th Grade Saints dropped a heart breaker to rival Collegiate on Thursday by the score of 26-22. Throughout the first two periods, the Cougars and Saints traded blows, as both teams moved the ball effectively. While the Saints were able gain significant yardage with their powerful ground game, they were only able to finish one of their drives with a score. On the other hand, the Cougars were able to rely on a balanced attack to put two scoring drives together to take a 16-6 lead into halftime.
