Lincoln High School’s Junior Varsity football team has fought the good fight and proved themselves, not only throughout this past season but their freshmen year as well. The Class of 2007 has played outstanding football for two years now, so what’s the secret?

They have had the same coach, Don Johnson, for both years, which helps with consistency. “He [Coach Johnson] knows what to expect from us and we know what to expect from him,” said Austin Rioux. The team has also maintained the same players for the most part; which has helped with team chemistry. “We’re all friends, you see [other] teams fighting on the field, but we all hang out together,” said tight end Ryan Staggs. The team has had players step up to positions when teammates were injured. Mike De Silva replaced Miles Weck, as Quarterback half way through the season and has been doing well ever since.

“Everybody has the drive to want to win [and] everybody wants to succeed”, stated Austin Rioux. They [the team] have an overall record of 16-0-2. The Zebra’s seem to have favored the running game more throughout this season.
