Windham High School senior Ethan Petty has been selected
to play in the 2014 Lobster Bowl at Biddeford High School. The game is this
Saturday, July 19th, at 6 p.m. The Lobster Bowl is put on by the Shriners, and
all proceeds from the game will go to Shriners Hospitals.
Petty was selected to play alongside other standout
seniors from across the State of Maine, and will play linebacker and some
special teams for the West side. In his senior season at Windham, Petty was all
conference at the guard position, and honorable mention for linebacker as
well.
"He's not your typical Class A lineman or linebacker
in terms of his size, but he is all heart and makes phenomenal plays for our
football team," said his coach, Matt Perkins. "We only started two
seniors this year and by the end of the year he was the only senior on the
defensive side as well as the offense, so we asked an awful lot of him this
season, and he for sure responded," Perkins added.
Petty led Windham in tackles and was among the top ten in
tackles in the conference. The Eagles and Coach Perkins will miss Petty's
leadership next year and what he brought to the team. "He's just a
top-shelf guy, is loved by his teammates, is a tremendous leader, and he left
his mark on our football program. I wish him best of luck in his future,"
said Perkins.
"It’s an honor to be selected as the only player from Windham. This is a great opportunity to be able to play with the best of the best, and even better, it’s for a great cause. It’s a special experience that few get to be a part of and I look forward to representing Windham one last time," said Petty.
