The football season, across all levels of competition, has produced a total of 11 wins and four losses, as well as injured arms, fingers, knees and heads. Injuries have affected the teams’ performance, and are forcing backup players to rise to the occasion.
Specific injuries have caused the varsity football team to promote junior varsity players to fill the roles of injured players.
Sophomore Sam Kronzer filled the role of varsity defensive lineman after the varsity team called him up in response to an injury.
“Moving up to varsity is definitely a challenge,” Kronzer said, “but everybody has to be willing to take on the challenge and do the best they can.”
As a precaution to prevent further injuries, the football program implemented a new stretching curriculum consisting of multiple kinds of stretches.
“We implemented a combination of both static and dynamic stretching at the beginning of every practice,” freshmen football defensive coordinator Greyson Smith said. “I believe our current stretching regimen will prevent further injuries for the rest of the season.”
