Big hits, big games and big potential are what the Foxes football team is all about this year.
They’ve started the season as of Oct. 13 with a Mid-Willamette Conference record of 4-2, and with a shot at the OSAA 5A state playoffs.
The Foxes have played tough this year, and have shown they can out play their size, with the average player's weight of 197.2 pounds. According to the website "webmd," the average high school football player weighs 227 pounds.
The Fox's varsity football players have blown out Woodburn, South Albany, and Dallas High schools with a combined score of 128-13.
Although the team has had some great games, they lost to the number one team in league on Oct. 7, the Corvallis Spartans, with a score of 35-14.
“We may not be big, but we have heart; that is what has gotten us this far,” senior and defensive back Jacob Brumbaugh said.
The Foxes football team is currently tied for fourth in league with the West Albany Bulldogs, which they play at 7 p.m. Oct. 15 at Silverton High School.
Both teams have a league record of 3-2, but the West Albany is 3-3 overall.
The playoffs are within reach for the Fox's football team.
They just have to make the effort to get there.
If the Foxes win this game against West Albany, it guarantees them a spot in the 5A state playoffs.
Seniors, don’t forget about the tailgater before the game at 5 p.m. Oct. 15 behind the snack shack.
