Sometimes promising seasons are cut down. DeMatha football started out hot, but then suffered consecutive losses to league foes Gonzaga, Good Counsel, and Saint Johns College. The Stags managed to beat Bishop McNamara and Archbishop Carroll to finish as the fourth playoff seed in the WCAC but they lost 14-17 to Saint John’s College in the first round. We must admit that we were a little sad about the 6-5 overall record and a fourth place finish in the WCAC – until we remembered that we had another picture of Alexis Savage to post.
Alexis Savage knows that hoops are on the horizon.
The Howard Bison football team also started hot when they registered a win at a UNLV and a close loss to Kent State, two FCS schools. The University of Richmond put a chill on when they destroyed the Bison 68-21 in September. Then North Carolina Central University left the normally potent offense frozen when they orchestrated a 13-7 victory in DC. Howard (7-4) eventually finished second in the MEAC despite losing to Hampton University in what we like to call the Bourgeoisie Bowl and missed their sliver of an opportunity to play in the Celebration Bowl, instead.
All of that losing makes us sad. Look people, studies have shown that the majority of teenage boys like modest pictures of extremely hot women so we’re really just providing a serviceable means of introduction here. Let the Ooh La La’s of the Howard University Showtime Marching Band take you away from all of this.
We are better now. Don’t give up on us! We’re not going to let some silly football games get in the way of making some real progress on this blog. We’re total homers for DeMatha Catholic High School for Boys and Howard University, here. We’re never going to pretend to be anything else even if the analytics say that we should diversify for greater SEO appeal. We aren’t in it for the short term game, are we? We’re in this thing for the long haul.
For instance, don’t talk to us about how well your child reads at three-years-old. Talk to us about how well your child reads at thirty. That seems to be a better measurement of a job done well. We are all about progress here on The Chronicles Of Six and both football teams are up to challenges ahead. To lay some more smooth Black vernacular on you, DeMatha is certainly going to DeMatha. Caylin Newton has three more years of eligibility at Howard University but he was already named the MEAC Rookie of the Year.
You know How It Goes Down… We’re going to continue to keep you posted.
