Friday night at Newport Harbor our varsity football team took on University. University gained the first touchdown of the game in the first quarter. CdM held them there until the very end of the second quarter when University scored once more.

At half time, Orchesis performed a dance in the spirit of Halloween. The girls captured the audience with their wild hair, torn clothing, and dramatic moves.

“My favorite part of performing at half time was getting to support the varsity football team with our Halloween dance,” said freshmen dancer Kristen Risser, “It was fun getting really into it with the costumes, music, and crowd. I can’t wait until next time!”

Defying previous assumptions, about seven minutes into the third quarter, CdM’s Matt English obtained University’s fumble at the 20-yard line. With this turnover, CdM scored their first touchdown with four minutes and 30 seconds left in the quarter. With only two minutes to go, University got another touchdown. However, it was nullified by a penalty on the 35-yard line.

When asked about his favorite aspect about attending football games, senior Hugh Russel replied, “Matt English.”

The fourth quarter was a slow one, neither team making a dent in the score. The game ended with a final score of 6-17, University.
