Josh Franklin, a football player, said he felt good starting football and his position, right guard. Franklin joined football because he got to hit people. His favorite thing about football is defense. He believes “You practice how you play.” If he can’t continue playing football in the future, he will try to join basketball since it’s another sport he is interested in. Franklin wishes he had the Defensive Ends position which blocks offensive linemen and tackles the person carrying the football.
Landry Walters, another football player, said he feels great about football starting and his position, safety. Walters joined football so he could be more active and social. His favorite part about football is hitting people and getting to play with others. He claims “Effort will never be questioned.” He is interested in wrestling so he might try to join the wrestling team. Walters wishes he was bigger so he could be a running back, an offensive player, who carries the football and catches it when it is passed.
Both Franklin and Walters believe they’re going to continue playing football next year. Both want to become professional football players. Both believe their luck for the season is coming around, the team is progressing in their gameplay because they believe DMS has a good team. They’re prepared for upcoming games and are interested in making football a career for themselves later in life. Both have played football prior.
The football team currently practices on the football field at DMS. They practice on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays every week, and they have a game every Tuesday and they rest on Wednesdays, so any injured or tired players can heal until Thursday to practice for the next game. Their first game was on September 3rd and they lost. Since then they haven’t won any.
