A Close-ish One in Reading

Kara Pendery and her team keep the hits coming for the Middle School Football team.

The Wyoming Middle School football team continues to achieve great success on the field.  The boys traveled to Reading on 10/1 for their closest game this season.  However, you can’t really call it close when our Cowboy defense doesn't allow the opponent to score!  Reading has provided the best competition to our Cowboys so far this season.  The Cowboys went into half-time leading the Blue Devils 8 – 0.  Both teams had a couple turnovers – two Cowboy turnovers occurred deep in Blue Devil territory in the first half – preventing the score from being a bit more lopsided; but the Cowboys simply outplayed the Blue Devils and came away with a 14 – 0 victory.  Those numbers are comparatively low, considering we have outscored our opponents 110 to 0 at the half, this season.  Overall, these young athletes have outscored their opponents by 145 to 34 overall!!

We saw some great work on both sides of the ball and the usual suspects put points on the board.  This group continues to see great results, whether that comes from great blocking at the line, breaking tackles, precision passing, getting open to grab the pass, or key defensive plays….it all comes down to a great TEAM effort by the Cowboys.

At the half:  Wyoming 8,  Reading 0

Final score:  Wyoming 14,  Reading 0
