Spring Football!

Last Saturday, April 25, the spring football scrimmage was held at Meade Stadium. The teams were Rhody V. Rhody! White vs. Blue. Each team was comprised of a mix of players, however the majority of the upperclassmen were on the blue team. This game was not your average football game, as the scrimmage was comprised of four specific ground rules. The game will last for four twelve-minute quarters, each series will begin on the 35-yard line after the opposing team scores, each team is allowed one trick play per quarter, and finally, the quarterback cannot be tackled. This conservative style game lead to a large influx of scoring as the game ended after an overtime battle with the blue team coming out on top 20-14. Highlights of the game included the white team tying the game at 14 with 51 seconds remaining in regulation, and the blocked extra point attempt at the end of the game. Lets hope that our new head coach, Joe Trainer can get the team back on track since our Rhody Rams have not had a winning season in a good couple of years.
