As school begins, so do all of the extracurricular activities. Since this is Steven’s Senior year at Marshall Fundamental, his role on the varsity football team increases to starting positions on offense, defense, and special teams. Of course, this is how things go at Marshall because there aren’t enough players to form separate squads like other schools who have 50-80 kids on their football teams.
This year, not only do we get to enjoy Steven tearing up the turf, Mark has also joined the ranks and is playing on Marshall’s JV football team, also pulling full duty playing on offense, defense, and special teams.
This year, we’re hoping to see some victories. Marshall is currently on one of the worst losing streaks in history. Varsity hasn’t won a game in 4 years, JV hasn’t won in 3 years. As pathetic as it sounds, the kids are all proud to be Eagles and boldly walk the halls with their jerseys accepting the abuse from their peers- because one day they are going to win, and the celebrations will be well worth the wait.
Stay tuned for weekly updates from the games.
