Dunkirk Marauders Fall to Southwestern Trojans in a Lopsided Battle

Hey there Dunkirk Marauder fans, it’s time to talk about the recent clash between our Dunkirk Marauders and the Southwestern Trojans. Ok, it wasn’t so much “a clash” as… well, the final score? A somewhat disheartening 52-0 in favor of the Trojans. But before you start feeling too down, let’s dive into a couple of details.

First off, it’s important to note that the Marauders entered this game as the underdogs. The Southwestern Trojans have earned themselves a solid reputation, so our Marauders had their work cut out for them from the get-go. It was a non-league game, so the stakes were a bit different, but the passion and spirit of our team remained unwavering. All things considered, yep, still a joy to watch! That’s the best I can spin it with the truth.

One moment that stood out was when one of our players, the quarterback, Donny Jackson, had a bit of a run-in with a referee. As in… he ran into the referee. Donny was visibly upset, understandably so, but it’s crucial to remember that these referees are doing their best out there. It’s all about being in the wrong place at the wrong time. It happens; in fact, it happened three times in this game. Once to Donny, once to Mike Hanlon, and once to Nicholas Solares. Upsetting? Oh yes, most definitely, but was it intentional? Highly unlikely, we’re lucky to have dedicated referees that ensure fair play, and they’re most appreciated.

Now, let’s talk about the heart of this story: the Marauders and our fantastic fan support. Our Dunkirk Marauders may have lost on the scoreboard, but they have not lost the love of their fans! Never will. The Dunkirk crowd turnout, as usual, was large for an away game. It’s a testament to the unwavering support our team enjoys from parents, fans, friends, and neighbors. I love it!

So, while the scoreboard may not have been in our favor this time, the Dunkirk Marauders will continue to give it their all, fueled by the love and support of our tight-knit community. The Southwestern Trojans put on the strong performance they’re known for, and sometimes that’s just how the game goes. The Marauders will regroup, come back stronger, and we’ll continue cheering for our boys!

The upcoming home game against Maryvale at Dunkirk, scheduled for Friday 10/6 at 7:00 p.m., is an event not to be missed. Maryvale, with their impressive 5-0 record, undoubtedly poses a significant challenge for Dunkirk. This game is likely to be one of the toughest on Dunkirk’s schedule, making it even more crucial for the community to rally behind our home team. In addition to the exciting football game against Maryvale, this event holds even greater significance as it’s also Senior Night. This special occasion is dedicated to honoring and recognizing all the outgoing seniors on the football team and the cheerleading squad. So, as we gather to support our Marauders in this crucial game, let’s also take a moment to applaud and celebrate the remarkable seniors who have dedicated themselves to representing Dunkirk High School with pride and excellence. Let’s come together as a community, fill the stands, show our pride and create an atmosphere that can make a difference on the field.
