Football season is here and I am jazzed! Ricky is starting on the Western Branch JV team and is doing great! Their first game was against Nansemond River and it was a complete domination. Western Branch scored and never looked back. The score was 39 to 0 with one of those touchdowns belonging to Ricky. He scooped the ball on a fumble and ran it into the end zone. Ricky said "one of the only touchdowns I may get in my career as a defensive lineman..."
Last week the Bruins played Kings Fork. That was a little tougher game. The offensive line was being rather offensive and pretty much shut Ricky down. Between chop blocks and holding, Ricky was barely able to get through the line into the offensive backfield. They were keying on him, double teaming and moving some of their biggest linemen in front of him.
Nice shot of King's Fork throwing a chop block at Ricky's knees. He's in the right 1/3 of the photo.
The next photo shows that same lineman clearly holding Ricky and keeping him from getting into the backfield. I sure wish the officials would have been doing their job. This continued throughout the game.
Over all Western Branch did a good job against a tough opponent. They came out on top 15 to 14 in a hard fought battle against the officials and the King's Fork players.
This week is another home game and should be equally as tough, hopefully only against the football team.
