On Friday, Aug. 28, the varsity football team took on the East Chicago Cardinals. After six touchdowns in the first half, the Indians won with a score of 54-14. Bleachers were filled with students, teachers and alumni for the season opener and first game at the new stadium.
“Right when I ran out of the locker room, I took one look at the fans and thought, ‘It’s time to go. It’s time to play. It’s time to give them a show,’ and we did,” Nicholas Lucas (11) said.
The season has just begun for the Indians. They have many goals and high expectations for this year.
“I’m hoping to win a lot of championships with this team. We have a great team in place, and I can’t wait to keep moving forward,” Ryan Bereda (12) said.
After a 20-19 loss to Munster the week before, the team hoped to make it a learning experience. The Indians put the loss in the past in order to focus on the future.
“We can take this win as a confidence booster because of what happened last week against Munster. We can use this as a step forward instead of a step back,” Joshua Benson (11) said.
The next home game is Friday, Sept. 4, where the team will take on Portage.
