Varsity Football v. Deerfield Academy

The Eagles welcomed neighbor Deerfield Academy for a friendly scrimmage to introduce this year’s team to competitive live play. The two teams each ran multiple series of 10 offensive plays, while on field coaches were able to provide live feedback for the players. Officials were also present and contributed to the instruction, which was crucial for the many athletes who are new to the game. On the whole, the Eagles demonstrated aggressive, potent run blocking, and several backs who are sure to produce this season. The defense was the stand out squad for the Eagles led by strong play from the linebacking corps, and a defensive front that was quick to respond to coaching, and stoutly maintained their responsibilities.
