Welcome back everybody. Banel will be one of the first high school football teams in the state to play this season, but the bulldogs are hoping to be one of the last team standing when it's all said and done tie Jenkins squad, finished a solid six and four last year and it's hoping to take the next step. But then L will have to do it with a sophomore quarterback who's in only his second year playing football. Bulldogs said goodbye to signal caller, Theodore Lanham who rushed for over four, 1400 yards his senior season in 2021. This is a young team, how many seniors on the roster. But this group is also playing for something more defensive line coach Raul Font passed away unexpectedly at the end of June. He was well known around these parts, coach football in Stanford for a long time as well. The program dedicating its season to him. He brought energy. He brought trivia questions every day. So you know, it's it's a big hit, it's a big hit. But our online guys were really shaken by it for sure all of the linemen. But um, give us another motivator. You know, we're playing for him, have stickers for him on our helmet and stuff. So definitely a big motivation. My best friend and it's been very hard to kind of continue to do this, but we're going to do this for him by tribune. Our season will have signage all over our stadium for him, kids who have tribute stickers. So we're playing for more than ourselves and brick by brick. We're playing for Raul Farm. Banel plays at Amity Week one. Get this former Bulldogs head coach, Craig, Bruno will be on the opposing sidelines as the Spartans head coach. That should be good.
