FOUR YEARS IN THE TRENCHES: Springdale seniors have seen big transitions for football program and have forged a family…
Senior night is a special night for those students who will be moving on come graduation. Springdale football players were very much looking forward to their game versus Hunters on their Senior Night, but unfortunately, it was cancelled because their opponents didn’t have enough players. That means their last home game as seniors on the football team won’t be happening.
The Chewelah Independent sat down with seniors Avery Matherly, Avery Kitt, Wyatt Edwards, Lucas Buche and Braden Parker to talk a little bit about how the football program has impacted them. They all agreed that football brought them closer together as a family.
There have been some changes throughout their years, going from 11-man football to an 8-man game, and going from a 2B classification to 1B.
Edwards said that both of those changes were for the better.
“In 11-man, the starters played the whole game,” he explained, and now the 8-man game benefits them in that way. And going to 1B “gives us the chance to compete against other teams” that they wouldn’t have otherwise.
