Flag Season Begins With Victories 9/16/06

On Saturday September 16, 2006 the New Rochelle Arrows began their second season. The team is full of veterans and it showed. On the first play of the game Nate Stufano took the hand off and ran for about 30 yards. He also came about two yards short from scoring a touchdown later in the game. It was an all around team effort. The MVP of the game hands down was Jarrett Haines who had two touchdown runs and made numerous stops on defense. The Arrows are loaded with speed and that was proven with nice runs by Jordan Lewis and Nashiem Hiland. But with no time left on the clock and down 28 to 21 the Arrows were down to their last play and it was their star.

Quarterback Makai Johnson who ran the QB keeper for 45 yards and the touchdown. Good call coach. The kids had a great time and they are getting closer and closer to their first ever win.  It was nice to see all of the proud parents at the game showing their support that’s what the kids need to see. The arrows play again on 09/23/06 at noon in New Rochelle come out and support the kids.
