Our Braves continue their football season with a 3-1 record . Although we opened with an 0-1 season against Lee, we recovered from 16-0 at halftime, and ended the game with a score of 13-16. Our second game was a win against the Englewood Rams 48-12. It was a well fought game by both teams. We had a great end result, rushing almost 500 yards and had three touchdowns alone scored by Antonio Baker.
Our third week of the season was against the Forest Rebels. It was a tough game to play in, considering a majority of the game it was pouring down rain. Our Braves held up a strong fight however, and finished the game with 28-7 as the final score. We were able to continue this season with a fantastic 25-21 win against the Columbia County Tigers. This has always been a big rivalry for our Braves. The game was a much deserved defeat since the Tigers beat us last year on their turf.
The tightest game thus far in the season was versus Wolfson, on their own homecoming night. We sent them home after double overtime, with one more loss to their schedule. With the beginning of the first overtime, we lossed the coin toss and had the ball first. We ended up scoring a touchdown, ensuring we weren't going home with a loss just yet. Wolfson repeated our action, and also scored on this run, leading us into double overtime. Wolfson had the ball first this time, and kicked a field goal, underestimating our skills. Now it was fourth down for us, with the last chance to prove ourselves tonight. It was a controversial issue between the coaches and players whether to just kick a field goal and go into triple overtime or to actually ntry for a touchdown at this point. Sam Barrington carried the ball into the end zone, dropping it, and luckily having teammate Mike Jeune right behind him to assure the touchdown.
One of our own linebackers and running backs here at Parker, Sam Barrington, has qualified for the Super 11. This means that he is the top eleven players in the Jacksonville area. Sam has already had scholarship oppurtunities offered to him from schools such as South Florida, Central Florida, Clemson, South Carolina, and others as well. Good luck to all our Braves this season as they continue with success.

I like the article, and it's good that somebody's keeping track of the football games, so keep up the good work with that. My only gripes are a spelling error ("quilify" is actually "qualify") and that you didn't provide Sam's last name, although it would seem like everyone should know who Sam Barrington is. Fix those, and your article should be perfectly fine.
WITH THIS ARTICLE IT WOULD BE GOOD TO GET ONE OF THE PLAYER'S POINT OF VIEW
we gave great fans for football. great article
Everyone (okay, not everyone, but a lot of people) likes football, so if you flesh it out a little, people will really read this one.
Good article, maybe add an interviw from a player or coach.
Good artice, It would help TP students get the info. for thier football team. Uh maybe you could add the schedule for the next games? O - o? *clueless* xD.
Since Antonio Baker made such a comeback in the game against Englewood, maybe you could get an interview from him.
Also, even though a lot of people already know who Sam is, his last name might allow for more of an understanding for those who don't know him.
I didn't see anything that needed to be changed. So keep up the good work. Maybe you should add some interviews about peoples opinions on how the games turned out so far. And...that's all...good luck!! :-)
