Two Teams: Athletic Solution

As most of you know, Wakefield’s sports teams only have one team for each sport except club teams. When 7th graders try out it is hard for them to make a team, and 6th graders can’t play sports. So I think that there should be two teams. A varsity team and a junior varsity team. This way the very best 7th graders could make the varsity team along with the 8th grader. Also the runner-up 7th graders could be on a team and play other school’s J.V. team. If this would pass the wake county school district board in the atheletic deparment maybe 6th graders could try out for the J.V. team if that passes too. Maybe Wake County will consider this and give more kids a chance to have extra physical activities.

Carr and Panthers Stomped by N.O.

Thick gray clouds covered the sky like a blanket in Charlotte on Sunday, November 25, 2007. I went to see my first NFL game with my dad and brother. We had great seats, so I saw the players very well. On Sunday, the Carolina Panthers were battling the New Orleans Saints. Both teams were 4-6 at the start of the game, which meant that the winner would move up in the division ranks and have a better potential of getting into the playoffs. Vinny Testaverde was supposed to start as quarterback for the Panthers but was inactive due to a sore back from the previous day. To take his place, David Carr became the starter. Panthers fans knew what to expect from their team after the first half in which Carolina made only one first down to a penalty against the Saints. As time progressed through regulation, the Saints kept playing better, the Panthers worse. Carolina coach John Fox finally substituted David Carr with Matt Moore after hearing enough negative things from the stands. Overall, New Orleans played a pretty good game. They were aggressive on both sides of the ball and held the Panthers to score only two field goals by kicker John Kasay. The Panthers, on the other hand, played horrible. Their defense struggled against Saints running back Reggie Bush. The offense had a hard time moving the ball up the field, partly because of the simple mistakes of David Carr. But you can’t blame the mistakes of a team on one man. Or can you?

What did I tell you? A close win for Wakefield in the end, if I remember my prediction correctly. I guess what I said came true, because Wakefield beat Wake Forest Rolesville 13-8. Go wolves!   Read more

Go Wolves! Go Wakefield!

“Go Wakefield!” Those words rang through the stands as parents, students, and cheerleaders shouted for joy. On Monday, November 5, 2007 with a score of 12-0 Wakefield won the game. But not without the help of their always cheery cheerleaders. With one minute and 20 seconds remaining, #16 made a touchdown although it wasn’t counted. The game was held til it got dark which meant they were always adding five minutes.

Wakefield Wolves Football

On November 7, 2007 Wakefield Middle School had a great challenge. Wakefield football with a now 3-4 record took a harsh loss from Zebulon Middle. In the end the score was 36-0 with Zebulon on top. This season has been fair for Wakefield. They have risen to the challenges that have been thrown at them. They have had many victories and losses. This year they beat Durant Middle who were the past conference champs for three yeas in a row. The Wakefield Wolves have worked very hard this year and have became a powerful team. Their next and final game is at Wakefield High School, next to the Middle School’s campus. They will be playing against Wake Forest Rolesville Middle. This game should be tough, challenging, and exciting. It should be a close win for Wakefield in the end. The game is scheduled for 6:00 P.M., Wednesday, November 14, 2007. This will be the last game of the season. Come and support our Wakefield Wolves! *Students who attend Wakefield Middle School and are in the 7th or 8th grade, remember that basketball try-outs are November 19 at 3:15 for boys and girls after.
