So, another win. But this win is extra special because the team overcame incredible odds with yard after yard and converted turnover after converted turnover. The Miners cheap-shot Jake Zurn early in the game which had the desired affect of getting Craig riled up. Craig went too far, sure, but he was only looking out after his brother.

But, the Olympians didn’t even blink. They lost their star quarterback and STILL dominated the Battlin’ Miners. The Miners couldn’t hold onto the ball and the Olympians were there every time with the big conversion. The Red Swarm was absolutely bullet-proof.

And then there’s #9 freshman quarterback Corey Cinicola — how impressive was this kid’s performance? He had to have been nervous. I know I was. And, yet, he kept his cool and made the plays. He fit with the offensive line and didn’t play like a back-up. He played like a leader.

I’ll say it again, OMG. We were screaming our hearts out in the stands and even though the team can’t really hear us, we decided it makes us feel better. Check out the photos from tonight’s game here. I don’t know why the pictures are dark. I really need some lessons from Principal Lesisko!
So, fans, nurse those sore throats and get ready for Pocono Mountain West next Friday.

Better yet, stop by the JV game on Monday at 5 p.m. Minersville gets to come to our house this time.

Go Thorpe!
