Wynford 8th Grade Football

Eighth Grade Football Sets Scoring Record 

By: Michaela Lloyd

The ambience of the stadium was buzzing, Tuesday, October 1, 2013, as Wynfords eighth grade football team warmed up for their game against the Bucyrus Redmen.  Coach Barbuto said, “I thought the team played a great game. Every player on the team made a contribution to the victory.” The team had several impressive plays, including an astonishing touchdown

by Noah Nicholson that got people talking. Another flabbergasting touchdown was made by Zach Houck who kept a good three feet between himself and his pursuers as he raced towards the end zone, raising the score to 58-0. A few more scores from multiple players brought the score to 68-0. Cole Heinlen scored the final touchdown bringing the score to Wynford-74 and Bucyrus-0. The Royals continued to dominate the Redmen on the football field with the win. According to Coach Barbuto, “the Royals set a school record for points scored in a junior high football game with 74 points.” The game was exciting from start to finish for the crowd rooting for Wynford, but Bucyrus fans did not have the opportunity to be so rallied. Wynfords next opponent is the Crestline Bulldogs on October 8, 2013 at Crestline.
