Varsity Football v. Loomis Chaffee

Eaglebrook Football opened their season on Saturday with a rain-soaked game against an eager and well coached team from Loomis Chaffee School. Offensive play was affected by the weather as both teams turned the ball over frequently in the first half. Eaglebrook improved its defense over the course of the game and found a good measure of success running its offense for the first time. Our returning players/captains were instrumental on both sides of the ball and in recovering turnovers and the coaches were impressed with the young team's focus and enthusiasm. For a group of beginning football players there was a great sense of bonding and accomplishment and the Eagles hope to build on Saturday's 22-8 victory in the weeks to come. We hope to regain the services of our injured players as soon as possible but are pleased with the effort the players made on Saturday.
