As the summer fades into the rich
colors and crisp air of fall, speculations, rumors, and excited questions
circle like the fallen leaves swept up in the breeze. And it’s all about one
topic: Football.
Who’s playing? Who’s not? What did we lose? What did we gain?
And if you’re a Tri-Valley fan, you’re wondering when do we play Sullivan West?
Can we win? With the start of football season comes plenty of questions;
questions only the players themselves can answer. So I asked one of them.
Matt Bogorad plays slot back, full
back, safety, and cornerback and has been on the varsity team for three years. He has
given a lot to T-V football and, as a senior, is hoping for an exciting season and a great team.
“The season so far has gone
smoothly, we’re advancing and refining our newly established presence as an
option team,” says Bogorad. “We still got plenty of work to do but we should be prepared when the season opens up.”
Bogorad continues, “I’m looking
forward to playing ball with the same guys I grew up with, played modified and
JV with, and hopefully winning a couple games in the process.” What is this
senior not looking forward to?
“I’m not looking forward to the statements that
have been coming, and will continue to come, about our team not being able to
strive without players that graduated one, and even two, years ago. We miss
them, but it’s our turn now, and we’ll be fine.”
Talk is already flying
about this season’s faceoff between Tri-Valley and its number one rival,
Sullivan West. The Bears didn’t fare well in last year’s game. Before that however,
the Bears will face Eldred this Saturday, Sept. 5 at Eldred.
“To be blunt, they’ve got some big
guys,” says Bogorad of the Hornets, “However, we’ve been polishing up our
offense with a backfield that can be explosive, and a solid, intelligent line, so
size shouldn’t matter. It’ll be a dogfight. We’ll be ready on game day.”
