Red Hawks Stay Strong

By Breanna Ostrander

During the past two weekends the local football team, the Red Hawks, have played two very good games. The first of the two games was against the Mount Washington Wolves, which took the Red Hawks record from 4-2 to 5-2 with a score of 28-0. This game on the 30th of October was located in Whitefield, in which many of the players had an excellent game. In the second quarter, Dario Jimenez, ran the ball for a total of 51 yards; he also had an intercepted ball. “I felt that we really came together and played as a team. We improved in a lot of different places, which helped us overcome Mount Washington and will help us with the other teams we will have to face,” stated Jimenez. In the third quarter, before the Red Hawks took offense, Jay White returned a punt 90 yards for a touchdown. Jimenez also had a good third quarter, running for 41 yards. In the last quarter of the game, Trynt Barchey got the ball on Mount Washington and was able to run it for 29 total yards with a touch down.

In the Red Hawks second game, they played the Seacoast Titans in Dover. This game was a hard defeat for the Red Hawks, bringing their record to 5-3. Jimenez also had a very good game against the Titans where he ran for total of 40 yards. The game was a tough one for the Red Hawks with a score of 0-8, but each player tried his hardest, even though the game did not end up in their favor. In the fifth drive, there was one interception for the Red Hawks, and there were also two sacks for a total of 29 yards lost for Seacoast. Viktor Montanez had a great game with a total of 66 yards ran.

Overall, both of the games were played very well, and the Red Hawks put all their effort into each of them. The next game for the Red Hawks will be here in Contoocook on Sunday November, 14 at 1pm against the Granite State Panthers.
