Go Big Red!!!

The second half of last night’s game against Dennis-Yarmouth was near perfect with huge plays from almost everyone.  From J’adaro France’s incredible catching skills and Brian Frieh’s determined rushing to Nick Wilson’s quick wits and the speed of Luke Locascio and Collin Marczely, Barnstable’s offense was on last night.  The defense assisted in the effort by nearly shutting D-Y down last night.  If you weren’t there, you missed out on the perfect Homecoming game!  The final score was Barnstable 34- Dennis-Yarmouth 10

Special congratulations to Declan Moriarty, who was crowned Homecoming King at half-time.  Today, the freshmen and JV players hope to continue the effort against the Dolphins.

The media coverage was quite complimentary of our boys in red:
