Football Team Hits the Gridiron Tomorrow

Dunn Football Looks for Winning Season

By Michael Tseng


Phil Martin, the Athletic Director of Dunn School, founded the Dunn Football program in the fall of 2005. The team has grown stronger within these five years, and it has gained more and more attention from all Condor League competitors.

Dunn Football will have five home games this season. In the Condor League games, the team finished with a record of 2-2 last season. “Finish with a winning season has become our goal since the first practice of the year,” Martin said. The team will work hard in order to accomplish this goal throughout the whole season.

Heading into its sixth year, the team has graduated some key players last May. However, with many new members joining the team, Dunn football has a bright future. The Earwigs are led by two seniors captains, Corbin Meyer and Connor McMorrow. Meyer, who has been the first string quarterback for the past three years, is likely to lead the team to a successful season. “It has been great, and I really hope we will get a winning record,” said Meyer, who enjoys his high school football career at Dunn greatly and is hoping to continue playing football after high school.

McMorrow, the recipient of the 2010 Tom Holmes’ Football award, will also play an important role in leading this year’s team. Comparing Dunn Football to other Condor League teams, it is still quite young. However, team spirit has always been the strongest advantage of the program. “Last year, the seniors were both cohesive and individual; but, the seniors this year seem more approachable and more involved with every team member,” said Martin, who believes the team spirit this year is very high. Gaining many young players to the team, Coach Martin expects great things from them. “We want these kids to learn the game and love the game,” said Martin. Not only does Coach Martin look forward to seeing new players show their potential, but also Meyer. “I hope they give what all they have got, and work hard for playing time,” Meyer said.

With the experienced seniors and a talented pool of new players, the team is ready to fight and expects to have a winning season. Nevertheless, Dunn Football doesn’t just care about winning, but most importantly is to have fun, and this is the reason why Dunn Football players work so hard every single day. Join our students in wishing our Dunn Football team has a wonderful season, and see you on the field!
