Hopper-Cricket Football

The 10th Age held its annual Hopper-Cricket flag football game on Friday afternoon on the Middle School's Krongard Field. It was exciting for these Lower School boys to play on the "big" football field. PE teacher Brett Porter and our Grounds crew did a great job dividing the full field into three width-wise smaller fields. Thus, we had three action-packed games going on simultaneously, allowing all the boys to play the entire time. Several members of the Middle School football team gave up their club period to help referee the games, which was very thoughtful. As some of my readers know, we divide the Lower Schoolers into Hopper and Crickets (boys) and Crow and Canaries (girls). Throughout the year and on Track and Field Day, there are athletic competitions with the winning teams for the year being announced during the last week of school at our Lower School Awards Assembly.
