The Chelsea JV football team faced the Ypsilanti Braves (because I know a number of YHS grads who will enjoy that reference). It was a close game, but it finished well for Chelsea.

One Ypsi extra point attempt was extra something, but it wasn’t extra pointy. The ball ended up about 20 yards behind the line of scrimmage, where Chelsea recovered it.

In high school football a failed extra point can’t be returned by the defense, so shortly after the Bulldogs picked up the ball, the whistle sounded. But before the whistle sounded, the Ypsi player tried to make a nonstandard tackle.

For the kids out there: that’s not proper tackling form. Try to avoid that unless your preferred style of tackling is not tackling.

The Chelsea defense spent some quality time with defensive coordinator Corey Knight.

Meanwhile, head coach Chris Orlandi had his eyes on the field.

It’s no surprise he was watching the field. Fascinating things were happening on the field!

At one point, Coach Orlandi wanted to turn right, but he used the wrong arm to signal, so…would that make it a left turn signal? Of course, he wasn’t on a bike or in a car, so it’s not really important that he used the wrong arm.
