Civil War on the South Shore

The Mariners student body assembly was filled with excitement and energy as the students rallied together to cheer on the football team for a big win on Friday against their foes, the South Indians.

This match up is all the “buzz” around the town. South claims they are contenders this year but are definitely coming into this game as the underdogs with a 4-3 record. A key strength for South is they have 17 starters back from their 2007 season. They are a small team but are fast on their feet.

North’s strong defense is bound to shine on Friday with two all-state LB candidates Mike Henry and Brian Newman. Also returning from the ‘07 championship team is DB Matt Sura, who is a all-country selection. All three players are geared up for some big plays in this highly anticipated David and Goliath meet-up. North is big, South is quick. And, from spending time with both schools this week, one thing is for certain….this game will go down in history!
