Chelsea High School Football record through week 5: 12-3 (3-0 week 5; 10-2 SEC) .

Not much to say about this week of football. Lincoln put up no real fight at any level. The Chelsea freshmen won 36-6; the JV won 58-0; the varsity won 55-0. No drama.

The state of the Lincoln football program is dismal, and I hate to see it this way. Perhaps in the near future there will be changes on Willis Road, changes that will help the program begin its climb out of the basement. Until then, Lincoln football players have to suffer through miserable seasons of losing.

Eye-catching: 29 seconds into the varsity game, Chelsea led 14-0. McClendon returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown, and on Lincoln’s first offensive play, Bradburn intercepted the pass and returned it for a touchdown. Seven minutes into the game, Chelsea led 35-0.
