Football Team Wins Final Game

The Middle School football team won its final game of the season this afternoon, beating a tough Friends School opponent by a score of 34-16. Both teams played hard until the final whistle as the sunlight faded behind the trees at Friends. Four different players scored for Calvert, including a 6th grade running back who scampered around the left end to reach the end zone on the game's final play. I heartily commend the team members and wish them good luck in their winter sports. Congrats and thanks are also extended to coaches Bennett, Mascuch, Murphy, and Hagel. The future looks bright for the football team, as just four players are currently in the 8th grade. Below, please enjoy three pictures: the whole team after the game, the four 8th graders with Head Coach Bennett, and a bonus picture of Assistant Head Master David Clapp in festive attire during a football and soccer "tailgate" last week at Calvert!
