By: Kelsey Redden

The Freshman football team hosted Carey on Thursday September 12, 2013. The score was close through all four quarters. The first half did not see a lot of action, the only touchdown scored was by Wynford leading 8-0 after a two point conversion. After halftime, both teams started to spark and got into a groove. By the end of the third quarter, the score was Wynford 16 Carey 8. The fourth quarter saw the most action and turned the game into a nail biter. Wynford scored first but was unable to score on a two point conversion. Carey ended up scoring two other times but failed to make the two point conversion on the second touchdown which tied up the score at 22. Wynford got the ball back with 1:28 left on the clock and drove the ball down the field quickly. With no timeouts left they were unable to score as the last seconds ticked off the clock. The game ended in a 22 all tie due to the fact that freshmen teams do not play overtime.

Brooke Miller

As Wynford High School celebrates it’s 50th anniversary there was no doubt the crowd would be larger than ever on the first football game of the season.  Being a Wynford tradition,

first home football game of the year calls for one main event: Senior Night.  At roughly 6:30 friday night September 6th against Mohawk, the 2014 senior class that participates in a fall activity lined up with their parents in the endzone, ready to proudly walk down the field with, what many would call, their main supporters.  As the announcer in the press box stated the senior’s name, parent(s), and fall sport or activity, several photographers at the 50 yard line took numerous shots of the enthused seniors and their proud parents.  Many ended the walk by shaking the coach ‘s hand or tightly hugging his or her mother, thanking her for everything.  Senior Gage Roe even celebrated his 18th birthday by walking down the field on Senior night.  What a great kickoff to the 50th year at Wynford High School!
