Our Channel League football team has been looking forward to the San Marcos game tonight, October 26. The SM game has also been the most looked forward to by fans. With this yearʼs record of five wins and only two losses, confidence runs high for teammates who are disciplined to win against San Marcos (and upcoming games).
Losing against San Marcos last year (27- 14) as well as the previous years has upset many fans. This year however we plan on making a come back and we expect a win.
Football players will continue their intense practices and will be prepared. Senior Greg Domingues said, “We are going to wax. They have no wins so I'm confident.” When asked how they will prepare for the game Zach Chavez and Greg Domingues, both seniors, agreed to “plan on taking a lot of No Explode and protein shakes.” They continued on about their preparations for the game the night before by explaining, “We plan on listening to Bob Marley and watching the movie ʻ300ʼ,” Even though they are coached by Mr. Gonzales who coached the Royals, it does not seem to bother any of our football athletes or fans. He has our football players prepared; is liked and well respected here. Domingues said, “Heʼs now a hater of San Marcos and he dislikes SM as much as we do. If we win we plan to party at Zach's house after the game and go to the Knot Knots house and watch Friday Football Focus and do special team events and cheers.”
Teammates run high with confidence and are focused and ready to play. Taking the game to victory is their intention. Senior Chris Manson said, “I'm very confident. I think we'll murder them. We are a much better team. They canʼt play at our level.” When asked how he will prepare for the game, he said, “practice hard, come in focused and ready to play.” The night before Manson will prepare for the game by washing “all my football clothes and pack my football bag, and dream about football glory.” Our fellow varsity football players are set. If we win Manson said, “Iʼll celebrate with my team at the Knot Knot house. If we lose Iʼll think about my mistakes and try to see what I can do differently for the next game, so fans get your popcorn ready.”
Of course losing is not a choice for this game and it is not the playersʼ intention. As for players, they practice hard and make it happen; but as for the rest of us we just have to sit and watch.
