Bloomingdale Yearbook

Last Friday night, the Varsity football team traveled to Durant. They were unable to contain the Cougars, losing 21-0. The game started off well for the Bulls, with quarterback Eugene Perry completing a 40-yard pass. After that however, the Bulls fumbled the ball away at the five yardline.

Durant scored once in the first half, leading 6-0 through two quarters. The second half was all Durant, with Senior John Hicks scoring two rushing touchdowns, and their defense collecting a safety. A fumble late in the fourth sealed the deal for Durant, celebrating the win on their homecoming night.

“We’ll watch the film and make corrections and continue to work on our fundamentals,” said Coach James Booth, when asked how the team is going to spend their bye week.

The next game is October 9th vs. Plant City, which is homecoming. “I’m looking forward to the homecoming game.” Said junior Tyler Bird. “It’s going to be fun.”

Freshman aren’t the only newbies here. Three coaches have arrived. Miss Teague, a sophomore English teacher, is the new cheer-leading coach and she’s ready for action.

Also on the field is Coach Booth who is currently the Football coach and teaches numerous H.O.P.E. classes. Olivia Caramico, a sophomore, states, “I had Coach Booth last year, and from what I remember he’s a really cool coach. He was a little laid back, but not too lenient. Definately one of the few people who actually made H.O.P.E. fun.”

Along with these two coaches, we have Coach Willis coaching basketball. One of his H.O.P.E. students; Amanda Acevado, a sophomore; recalls “Coach Willis is one of the nicest people I have ever met. Although, I am not a fan of P.E., I really like this class. He even puts the radio on when we’re in the portable!”

As you can see, we are very lucky to have this addition to our school.
