Bluejays Footballers

The Porta Bluejays football team started off their season August 23 with their annual blue and white scrimmage game. The game gave us a look at what the Jr. High, Freshmen, JV and Varsity boys have been doing to prepare for the season. The Varsity boys started off their season-opener August 29  playing against the Athens Warriors at a home game. Sadly, they lost that game but there are still more games to come. There are three high school students from A-C Central  that play on the  Porta Bluejays Varsity football team. We have Quinn Allen and Ryan Woodard who are  seniors and Dalton Johnston who is a Junior at A-C Central. I asked the guys some questions about playing and here is what they had to say. 

A-C: How Long have you been playing football?

Dalton Johnston

Quinn: For six years
Dalton: For six years

A-C: Why did you join the team?
Quinn: Because football looked like something I wanted to do.
Dalton: Because I wanted to be a part of something.

A-C: What position do you play and do you like it?
Quinn: I play Offensive guard and it's okay, but I would rather be center.
Dalton: I'm a wide receiver and yes i do like it.

A-C: What's your favorite thing about football?
Quinn:  I'd have to say the thrill of a win.
Dalton: I like that it's a full contact sport.

A-C: How did you feel about losing your first game of the season?
Dalton: It was disappointing, but I think we can work through it.
