The Cowboy Hat Season.
By Cadet Matt Perry
Jr. Prep Football was victorious against Benedictine last Thursday, 36-8, in a contest that that put Fork Union on the top of the mountain where they will reside until next football season. The name of this mountain: "Undefeated Season."
The Fork Union offense was unstoppable. The offensive player of the game was Malik Banana, who scored his first two touchdowns of the year. On the first score, Banana caught a short pass and ran it into the end-zone, but on his second touch down, QB Paul Karas pitched the ball to Brehon Perry, on a reverse, handing it off to Mario Scott, who threw the ball to the uncovered, Banana. He ran the ball easily into the end-zone. Mario Scott would also shine, scoring two touchdowns. One TD was an 85-yard punt return. Also scoring was John Howard, who scored on a 60-yard run.
The FUMA defense was brutal. They held Benedictine to one touchdown and only 6 first downs the entire game. Jo Ho led the defense, sacking the quarterback several times, and causing a QB fumble. Notable defensive plays were orchestrated by Robert Shermer, and Brian "Zit" Zitterkopf - both with interceptions. This was one of the best games that the Fork Union Defense has played all year.
Now you might be asking yourself: "What is the Cowboy Hat Season?" Well, that is why I am here to tell you. At the beginning of the year, after the Fork Union Jr. Prep team defeated an opponent during a summer scrimmage, one of the team members asked Coach Jones, "What are you going to do if we go undefeated this year?" Coach Jones replied with, "Oh, I dunno, I'll buy you all cowboy hats or something." I don't if Coach Jones knew what he was getting into when he said this, but as soon as he said it, a murmur arose from the team. They all seemed to think that this would be a fitting reward. As each game went by, the Jr. Prep's dreams of cowboy hats were slowly becoming a reality. Finally, after defeating Collegiate, knowing they would have no trouble in defeating Benedictine, the Jr. Prep team partied like it was 1999. The only question that the Jr. Prep team had to ask themselves at the end of the year was, "What is my hat size?"
