Midseason Update: JV Football

-By: Samantha Wood-

Blue Wave Football JV players made it clear their team is being overlooked as they reach the season midpoint. The team has four wins and one measly loss, compared to the 4-2 varsity record. Running back Mike Stovall (pictured right) and guard Brett O'Donnell (pictured left) agree their JV team has greatly improved since the beginning of the season, with each individual player stepping up his own game.
What has contributed to the success of the team this year? O'Donnell and Stovall say it is due to the general team morale, and the great camaraderie that the boys share. With this close-knit group, the players are able to "feed off each other and play well" explained the sophomores. To continue to keep up such a good record through the rest of the season, Stovall said, "We just have to stay focused, and make sure not to fool around as much." While his teammate O'Donnell added, "We can't get too cocky." Wise advice for a team who has yet to meet their toughest opponent, the infamous New Canaan Rams on Nov. 16. Not only is this team the Wave's biggest rival, they are also the "best team in the state," Stovall said. But before the Wave can drown the Rams, they must defeat the Bassick Lions on Monday (11/2) at 6:30 pm at Bridgeport Central High School. Make sure you go support the future varsity players of DHS!
