Fort’s last home game

admin — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 13:39:53 +0000

On November 5, 2010, Fort Dorchester High School football team played their last home game against Ashley Ridge. Before the game all the seniors were announced for senior night. The student section tried to show as much school spirit as possible. The idea was to get everyone to wear red and cheer on the team with pots, pans, and blow horns. Ashley Ridge was winning up until the last minute of the game. Fort Dorchester won 40 to 33 that night letting them go to playoffs. Their first playoff game is against Stratford High school.
Speaking with one of the students in the student section, Makayla Hartley, said, “In the last minute of the game I prayed for us to score a touchdown. Five seconds later Fort scored the touchdown I asked for, it was like a miracle.”
Everyone seems to be proud of the football players and know they did their best that night. The students pray for them to win against Stratford and Dorman High School to allow them to go to state.

Members of the women’s Cross Country team are always trying their best to better their times and build better stamina for the next race. Stone said, “I run for fun and I am proud of it.”

Soon they will be doing Track and working to keep in shape for next year. They will try their hardest when they run for State. We will be cheering them on in one way or another.
The shoes they wear are for better grip and arch support. The clothes they wear are to help them run against the wind and not have their clothing flopping all over the place. So there’s the women’s Cross Country team, trying to win us the title.

Fort vs. Summerville

admin — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 17:32:21 +0000

Although the game against Summerville and Fort Dorchester was two weeks ago, it was a highly anticipated game. Banners were hung around the school to promote the game, specialized t-shirts were sold, and there were specific games to see who has the most spirit for the football game. The stands were filled for the game, to see which team would be the winner, and the game ended Summerville-28, Fort Dorchester-21.
David Govan, a Fort varsity football player, said that the team was “well prepared for the game and thought they had played a good game”. When asked his thoughts on the loss he stated “I was amazed and mad because we came so close to winning, but we didn’t”. In my interview with him I asked him, from his perspective how his fellow teammates felt about the game he said “People were mad and some emotional because they won’t get the chance to play against Summerville next year at Fort”. He also replied, when asked, if he had thought everyone had played to the best of their abilities, said “Yes and no because we could have won the game”. My final question during the interview was what’s the team’s game plan to beat Summerville next year? He answered by stating “same as last”.
Many Fort fans were disappointed at the outcome of the game, but stated that they believed that the team played a great game and could win in the future. Another fan said that “The team was very determined and skilled, even if the game did not happen the way the team wanted it to.” With many fans having high hopes for future Fort vs. Summerville games the main question that seems to be on most of my interviewers minds is how will Fort come from future games triumphantly?
