Loudon Verses LC
The Rivalry Begins

By: Brittney Underwood

The football field smelled of hotdogs and victory as the fans began to take their seats. After everyone was seated, the football team came running out, making the people in the stands cheer and shout. Lenior City was next, but the cheers are faint to the ones on Loudon's side. The game begins.

The Redskins start off a good first quarter. Fifteen minutes into the game Keenen Hawkins already makes his first touch down for Loudon. The Redskin Nation, painted and lettered, comes running out, screaming and carrying the Loudon Flag. They take their spots in the stands.

Into the second quarter, Tyler Campbell scores his first touch down for the game, leaving the Panthers yet to score. That makes the game 14-0. It stays that way until half time.

At half time the football players file off the field looking exhausted. Their supporters, from both sides, begin to flood out of the stands. Many go to get something to eat, while others just stand up to stretch their legs. But there was no doubt about what they were talking about. And that was the score. No matter if it was a Redskin, bragging about how well they were doing, or a Panther sating it was pure luck that the Redskins got that far. Everyone began to return to their seats as the game started back up.

The third quarter started off like the first quarter. There was a touch down fifteen seconds into it. This time it wasn't the

Redskins that scored. It was the Panthers. No one expected that and it made a lot of people get nervous. Then, to make things worse, Keenen Hawkins was injured. The people rooting for the Redskins began to get worried. Panthers were finally scoring and one of their best players had to be taken out of the game. There were questioning if they could still win. Shortly after Hawkins was injured Campbell makes his second touchdown for the game, reassuring all Redskins fans that they could win. He was soon followed by the quarterback, Blake McNew, making his mark in the game. The score then stood at 33-7.

The game seems to settle down the fourth quarter. No big thing really happened. The Redskins scored again, making the score 40-7. There was really no hope for the Panthers winning, but they still played strong and finished out the game. The game ended with that score.

Yells and hollers erupt from the stands as the buzzer goes off, ending the game. The Redskins has taken home another victory. But it isn't over yet. In the Redskins enthusiastic moment, the sing the Panthers off and the rivalry is put to silence for another year.

This article was written in the point of view of a Redskin. Things might have changed if it was from a Panther, but I hope you enjoyed it anyway.
