Patriots Host Undefeated Springfield First Varsity Action
Springfield High School travels to Spinelli Field for the opening varsity game against undefeated Cosmos. The Cosmos boast a 3 0 record with 78 points scored and six interceptions, led by junior quarterback Jimmy Morse and running back Jimmy Schwartz who rushed for 196 yards and five touchdowns last week. Patriots counter with Scott Racicot at quarterback and a spread of backs including Greg Croft and Denny Hart, aiming to contain Springfield’s speed and the Cosmos’ strong line led by Bill Bibens and Ray Forrest. The outcome hinges on containment of Schwartz and a balanced Patriot offense, with a suggested edge to Springfield’s strong defense and depth but a close battle expected.
