Calaveras Persuasive Essay

881 Words4 Pages

The Calaveras Redskins football team is back in a familiar situation - the playoffs. After a one-year hiatus from postseason play, the Redskins are back and are the No. 2. seed in the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section Division IV Championships. With earling the No. 2. seed, Calaveras will have home field advantage all the way to the championship game.

“Having a home playoff game is huge,” said safety/running back Noah Preuss. “It gives us a lot of momentum and having the hometown fans here can only help us.”

The Redskins welcome the No. 7. Center Cougars of the Pioneer Valley League. Center finished the season 6-4, 2-3 PVL and took third in league.

The Cougars have won their last two games, beating Bear River 27-21 and Foothill 41-14. Center has …show more content…

He has been intercepted eight times, but more often than not, he knows what went wrong and how he can fix his mistake before he gets back to the sideline. He doesn’t let one negative play take his focus away from the rest of the game.

“That was one thing that hurt me last year and would keep me down,” Byrd said. “Everybody throws their picks, but you just have to forget about it and move on to the nxt play.”

Should Calaveras win, it will host the winner of No. 3. Sierra vs. No. 6. Union Mine. The Redskins have already defeated Union Mine this season in a 28-21 victory in September at Frank Meyer Field.

But Calaveras isn’t looking past tonight and Center. But if history is any indication, the Redskins should be feeling good. Calaveras has not lost a home playoff game under Weatherby. In 2013, the Redskins defeated Hughson 40-21 and in 2010 defeated Dixon 28-7. The last playoff loss at Frank Meyer Field came against Patterson in 2006 with Roger Canepa as the head coach. Calaveras lost 23-0.

Knowing that he has never lost at home puts a little pressure on us, but i think we have the talent to win the game and I know that Weatherby is going to put us in the situation to do that,” Byrd

    In the seventh inning down by a score of 3-0, Charleston combined for four runs from shortstop Kyle Holder, first baseman Kane Sweeney, second baseman Hoy Jun Park and left-fielder Cesar Diaz. Despite the odds not being in their favor with Rome having a 90 percent win expectancy heading into the bottom of the 7th inning, Charleston prevailed in what was arguably the loudest game at “The Joe” this season. Friday marked the first playoff victory in the RiverDogs name. They were swept in their back-to-back post-season appearances in 2004 and 2005. Prior to this year’s RiverDogs squad, the last team to play in Charleston and obtain a playoff victory was the 1988 Charleston Rainbows, who defeated Myrtle Beach 3-1 in the opening round prior to being swept by Spartanburg 3-0 in the 1988 Finals.
