In every game, be this our aim, V-I-C-T-O-R-Y: Week 1 vs. Novi
I’m going to post about Chelsea football, because that’s what occupies my time these days. Deal with it.
Chelsea High School Football record through week 1: 2-1 (2-1 week 1; 0-0 SEC).
On Thursday, the freshmen lost at Novi. The JV took a 14-6 lead into halftime, and that wound up being the final score; a thunderstorm struck at the end of halftime, and they decided to end the game.
On Saturday, the varsity faced Novi at Eastern Michigan University, and they left with a 28-14 victory. After some time on the field together, the offense came together and looked exciting, while the defense allowed only one offensive touchdown. (The other came on a kickoff return.)
Eye-catching: Both the JV and the varsity used trick plays early in the game, both with great success. The JV used a hook-and-ladder that resulted in a first and goal; the varsity had a receiver throw a long touchdown pass on the fourth play of the first drive.
Next up: Freshmen and JV vs. Bedford on Thursday; varsity at Bedford on Friday.
And so it is
Welcome to the new mindreader.burrillstrong.com. This is not your father’s mindreader.burrillstrong.com, primarily because I’m pretty sure your father never had one. If he did, I hope he won’t sue me for copyright infringement.
Anyway, the old mindreader was fully manual, and updating got a bit cumbersome after a while. This program makes it more about the post and less about the process of, um, posting the post, and that is a good thing.
Now, after two or three embarrassing failures, I hope I’ve learned my lesson about promising more frequent updates. But this new setup does, I think, offer a faint glimmer of hope for something more than biannual.
So … hello again.
