In an early season varsity 7-on-7 football game, Windham and Scarborough stepped on the gridiron, at Windham, on Saturday Oct. 24.
7-on-7 is a stripped-down version of regular-season football play. There are no pads, no tackling, and the game is played on half the field. A player tackles by touching a player below the neck.
The game was broken into four 15-minute blocks. Each offense had 15 minutes to get to the end zone as many times as possible. No score was kept; it’s more an opportunity for players to work on skills and improve. Each team had three plays to get 10 yards, if they didn’t succeed, they went back to the 40-yard line.
In the first half, Windham sophomore Max Arbour had a touchdown. Arbour also had a stellar interception in the second half.
Windham junior Colby Mizner had two touchdowns in the second
half. Windham intercepted several
Scarborough passes and stopped the Red Storm from
getting to the endzone throughout the game.
“The thing with this is, it’s a practice drill,” said Windham coach Matt Perkins. “You want to look at it like that and this is where you want to make mistakes. We got a lot of young guys out there; we got a lot of guys first time on the job. They’re learning, we saw some improvements from the (last game) and some things we need to fix from today and we’ll just keep getting better.”
The varsity cheering squad was there to cheer the guys on.
“It’s great to be back cheering for the boys. We’ve been waiting for this to happen (and) it’s a great feeling to be able to be back on the field cheering for them,” said senior Bria Campobasso. <
