Senior quarterback Mikey Becker and Jonathan Law’s football team are getting prepared for their upcoming games.
The team’s record this season is 2-2 as its gets ready for Friday’s game at home against Weston at 7 p.m.
“As a captain I have to lead the team and make sure they are doing the right things,” Becker said. ” I also want to make sure they are working hard and playing to their fullest potential every game.”
The team’s biggest achievement came at the start of the season. On September 13, the Lawmen played Lyman Hall at home and beat them 50-40. On October 4, the Lawmen played Bassick and won 52-6.
In addition to winning these two games, the Lawmen have also lost two games to Plantsville and Joel Barlow.
“We haven’t played to our full potential yet, but we are looking to in our next game,” Becker said.
This year, the team’s greatest challenges are going to be beating Weston and Foran. Weston’s record this season is 4-0 and Foran is the Law’s biggest rival.
Becker said that he will miss the team next year due to him graduating.
“I will miss how close we are as a team, and how much fun it is to play with such a good group of guys,” Becker said.
The team works together very efficiently and display a tremendous amount of teamwork.
Overall, they individually play to the best of their ability at practice, while the captains supervise the players in case anyone on the team is struggling.
They all support each other and ensure that the team is playing the best they can in order to train for their games.
“My role is important because I have to make sure everyone knows the plays and is lined up when it is ready to snap the ball,” Becker said.
