On Saturday October 3rd the Worcester Academy varsity football team took on the Northfield Mount Hermon Hoggers at the fall festival homecoming football game. This was the football team’s first home game and the Worcester Academy faithful were out in full support. Students had their chests painted and were chanting for all 4 quarters. Postgraduate Derek Gibson had positive remarks on the game. “We were moving the ball quickly which is hard to do in the rain. The defense and offense both played well. It was nice to move to 2 wins and 1 loss for the season and to win out first home game.”

The football team won 28-7 in a decisive victory. Postgraduate Tevin Padilla said, “It was a solid win. It was hard to keep the game play fast when the field was wet and it was raining out.” The wet field did not stop the Worcester offense as the put28 points on the board.

Postgraduate Rob Sliney said, “The game was hard fought on both sides. We were always a step ahead and that’s why we came out with the win.” Sliney also commented on the team moving to a record of 2 and 1 on the season. The Hilltoppers are looking to get another win this weekend when they play the Cushing Academy on Friday at 3:00.
