English Football Takes Season Opener On Forfeit

"We're just looking forward to playing some good football. We're just looking to compete," said Blue and Blue coach Chris Boswell.

After finishing 0-11 last season, the football team was hoping to erase those memories with a season-opening win.

The Blue and Blue did notch a victory, but it wasn’t the way they planned as Burke High School forfeited due to a lack of players.

“They’re a little disappointed,” English coach Chris Boswell said about his players’ reaction. “We’re just going to keep it moving. We’re always facing adversity.”

He added, “We’re just looking forward to playing some good football. We’re just looking to compete.”

The Blue and Blue will have an opportunity to do that as they take on Brighton next Friday at . The game is expected to start at 6 p.m.
