| The 7th, 8th, and
9th grade football teams made the journey to Tahlequah Thursday night
to capture a Metro Lakes Conference victory. The Tahlequah Tigers are
always known to have big linemen and tough running backs. All week long
our players were told “what we did last year, doesn’t matter….it’s
what we do now that counts”.
In the 7th grade
game the Tigers and Cardinals trade scores during the first half of
the contest. The Cardinals could not contain the Tiger offense in the
4th quarter. Tigers win 34-20. KT McCoy received a good ankle sprain
during the second half which removed him from the game. With the lose
of Logan Sieminskie and KT the Cardinals are getting pretty thin at
running back.
The 8th grade contest
was dominated by great effort from the Cardinals offensive and defensive
units. A powerful running attack and a precision air attack, the Cardinals
offense was fun to watch. The defense was strong and punishing all night.
With a score of 36-0 at half and a running clock for the Tigers, the
Cardinals began to play all of our players. Final score is 36-18. The
Cardinals improve it conference record to 3-0. Noah Salazar has reported
to have broken his collar bone. We wish him a speedy recovery.
The night’s
final contest, the Cardinal 9th grade made a statement to the Tahlequah
Tigers, three in a row! Don’t mess with us. With Tahlequah being
in our high school district, the freshmen have a huge physiological
advantage over the Tigers for next year. Every phase of the game was
dominated by the Cardinals. We out hit and out played the Tigers. We
are showing a lot of heart and the “The Boys of Fall” are
getting better and better each game. Cardinals win 26-0. No injuries
were reported. The 9th grade improves its conference record to 3-0.
Special thanks go
out to the quarterback club for the drinks and snack they provided to
the athletes. It takes so many individuals to make our program a success.
The teachers, administration, support staff, concession attendants,
press box staff, chain crews, cheerleaders, student trainers, parents
and fans.
It takes trust in
one another to help sculpture our students into future productive citizens.
We are a part of this co-curricular activity to help give our kids a
foundation for their future. Let us as adults be positive and strong
with each other. It’s for the kids.
As Coach Riley says…it’s
great to be a CARDINAL!
