Boston English football team learns thrill of victory at last

Was that a bit of a strut, a hint of a swagger in their step when Boston English’s football team returned to practice this week with more victories than losses? If so, who would begrudge them?

“Some might be feeling a little bit cocky right now,” center Jordan Carter observed as his teammates prepared for Friday night’s date with O’Bryant. “But it’s good.”

Great article. Thank you

English's last shutout: three years ago.

Good for the English kids and coaches. Playing/coaching in the City League is always a trip.

Good for them and kudos to the coaching staff.

Stick with it fellas.  This is the stuff they make movies about...when no one cares but you and yours, that's how the light gets in. People who are paying attention know that playing football at English and winning is about as likely as college boys beating hte Russians---impossible!
