What It Takes to Be a Football Player at GA By Blythe Berlinger
Mr. Dolan, GA football coach, says GA has a really good football team. He says just a week before GA-PC Day the team won really big against Chestnut Hill. I asked him what is the schedule for football? He said they play their games on Saturday and have Sunday off. On Mondays they watch a film of how they played, they look at what things they could do better and what they did right. Everyday at practice they do different things to warm up and be prepared for the game. Finally, I asked him how do you think GA will do against PC? Mr. Dolan says PC is a really good team, but we still have a chance of beating them. ~ After GA’s win I interviewed Mr. Dolan again. He said they were tired but played an outstanding game. I asked what the team could do better for next year? He said they want to improve their record of games played; they want to beat all of them next year! The most interesting part of the game was at the beginning when they were not winning, but came back in the end. The most useful players during that game were the quarterback, Hayes Nolte, and the wide receiver, Kyle Donahue. Mr. Dolan was surprised and very happy that GA had won.
