It is a win the Patriots Football Team expected, but until a team proves it on the field it doesn't mean a thing. I am so proud of our Patriots, our goal was to not let Avon sustain any drives. Avon only had two first downs, a total of 38 rushing yards, and plus 6 yards in the air. It was a great game, dare I say we still have things to improve on. Our plan is to continue to get better each and every down, series, quarter, half, game, and week to week. Everyone is getting involved. Cole Schroeder had some great blocking on the outside for at least two of our touchdowns, Landon Puffer made some great catches, and Erik Salmen ran the ball hard and fast. Jacob Michlitsch had the first tackle of the game and the last. TJ Salmen and Jackson Maynard attacked Avon's TE's all game long which lead to one interception and Jackson forced a fumble. Mikael Nielson did a great job snapping the ball and even got in on kick-off. Carter Binger threw the ball around and had a text book play on Avon's option early in the game. Mason Bottum was fired up making a play on the outside and Brendan Nowell recovered a fumble. Great job by all, even those unmentioned. Thank you all for your continued support. #GoPatriotNation
