CVHS victorious in Homecoming game against Lancers

Inclement weather could not dampen the Trojans’ Homecoming spirit as the CVHS football team defeated the Tennyson Lancers decisively, 31–7. The night of Oct. 29 brought about a timely victory as the senior football players witnessed their first ever Homecoming victory.
“It feels really good to win Homecoming for the first time since I’ve been at CVHS… and it feels even better to win it senior year,” said running back Damion Rosby, expressing his ecstasy over his team’s victory over the Lancers.
Rosby was by no means a bystander as he broke the school record for most rushes with 27 rushes for a total of 271 yards. In addition, Rosby contributed two of the four touchdowns to the CVHS victory.
Contrary to the final results, the game remained relatively close as the Lancers only trailed the Trojans 10 – 7 by the end of the first quarter. The Trojans drew first blood as Nick Goulart scored a 43-yard field goal, quickly followed by a 44-yard rush by Rosby.
The Lancers managed to retaliate as Tomas Jimenez of Tennyson scored a nine-yard run to make the score 10 – 7. Unfortunately for the Lancers, the Trojans marched on and never looked back from that point. Nothing seemed capable of stopping the Trojans as Jesse Sellers contributed his 55-yard run touchdown and Moner Afschar scored on a 19-yard pass from quarterback Christian Chavez. During the last three minutes of the game, Rosby broke out for an 85-yard run touchdown, leaving the end score to be 31-7.
Although the Trojans dominated the Lancers, Head Coach Nic McMaster still believed that his team needed to continue to practice diligently. “Our games need to clean up,” he said. “We need to improve every aspect of our game, especially tackling, blocking and passing.”
When asked about how his team did overall, McMaster acknowledged that he appreciated the “much-needed energy” that the Trojans came out with during the Homecoming game.
As if to signify the end of the game, rain began to pour heavily as the Trojans walked off the field victoriously. With their first Homecoming victory in a while, the Trojan football team ended this exciting week on a positive note.
