“That’s right…after a LONG hard week of TEAM rivalry the REAL champions EARNED the title of the BEST IN THE WEST!”
Long time rivals East Ridge High School and Apopka JV FOOTBALL teams went head to head last night in a “BATTLE OF THE TITANS.” Amongst rumors of college talent scouts, BRIGHTHOUSE camera crews & DIE HARD local fans…this game lived up to ALL THE HYPE!
The KNIGHTS lead the charge, firing off its first TOUCHDOWN early in the 1st quarter. TEAM SPIRIT, football fire & that “RAW hunger to beat your most RESPECTED rival” was so THICK in the Florida night air that not even the constant BUZZ of misquitos could penetrate it.
Our Knights bench actually LED the CHEERS chanting “Let’s go DEFENSE, Let’s GO…” Imagine the sight of a TEAM of BIG, strong boys Clapping & Chanting as one, actually brought a tear to my eye to see such FOCUS in such a YOUNG but TALENTED football TEAM.
Lady KNIGHTS were not to be outdone, lending their VOICES to the CHANT atop four perfectly executed FULLY EXTENDED STUNTS! Our school is blessed to have both young men & women who LOVE the GAME & TEAM SPIRIT. Together they LED the East Ridge Knights to a STUNNING VICTORY over the APOPKA BLUE DARTERS!
FINAL SCORE 28-33
Bright side: Apopka’s VARSITY TEAM came out to show their JV some LOVE: I was able to meet some of the most polite & well spoken young gentlemen in Central Florida last night. Not only did they allow me to step in fron of them in line for tickets but they helped others to the gate, led the CHEERS for JV & even offered support over the loss instead of ridicule. GREAT PEOPLE, good town…THANK YOU for hosting our team at your beautiful FOOTBALL Stadium.
