Although the Cedarville Jr High Pirates have encountered some rough waters during their football season, it hasn’t been enough to break their spirit. After Thursday nights 28-14 loss to the West Fork Tigers, the Jr Pirates now sit with a 2-5 record. Freshman, Colton Arnold, is one player that shouldn’t be overlooked. If he continues on, Arnold will be a household name during his next three years of senior high play. In Thursday’s match, Colton earned 22 carries for 240 yards and 2 TDs. He currently has 122 carries for 786 yards and 6 TDs.
“Bryson Turner, Braxton Bentley, and Briley Small have also all played well,” stated coach, Max Washausen. “Overall, I’m proud of the entire group. Due to the current situation and injuries, we have played with only 17-18 kids all year. In a day in age when kids can choose to do a lot of other things, these guys are playing football and learning valuable life lessons such as discipline and toughness. I’m very proud to be their coach!”
