Fort’s last home game

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.
