Fortuna Huskies Football off to solid start

Fortuna, Calfornia

The Fortuna High football team is looking forward to a very competitive, and hopefully a very long season for the 2017-2018 school year. Coach Mike Benbow stated in an interview that he is most looking forward to the game against Cardinal Newman, saying “to be the best, you've got to beat the best.”Quarterback JB agrees with Benbow saying that he too is, “looking forward to Newman the most.”

The Fortuna High football team is looking at a roster full of seniors who have varsity experience and have been working very hard over the off season. “Although every player is important and plays a part, it's hard to not say something about the three and four year varsity starters Church Crenshaw and JB Lewis,” who Benbow says are great leaders. The Huskies start their season off with an away game against Cardinal Newman on August 25th where they will travel to Santa Rosa to play the returning section champions.

Update: Friday night senior Bailey Foley number 20 on the Fortuna High Football team suffered a traumatic brain injury and had to be rushed to the hospital. The previous part of this article and interviews were done before the game on Friday night. This event is a tragedy to say the least, and prayers go out to Bailey and his family.
