Football: Burton vs. Central

Last Friday, September 12, 2014, John I. Burton took on the Central Warriors. At the beginning of this game, I noticed one of our former Coaches, Ray T., was wearing the number 11. This was in honor of one of our injured players, Cobye R. We ask everyone to keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers as he continues to recover from injuries sustained during this football season. To begin the game we had a coin toss; the winner of this coin toss was Central. They began the game with an opening kick to the Raiders at their 33 yard line.  Shortly afterwards, the Warriors received the ball; they made a move and scored. After the Warriors scored, the Raiders came back with only a minute left and scored. As the game went on there was 20 seconds left and the Warriors scored, leaving the score at 14-7 at the end of the first quarter.

Beginning in the second quarter the Warriors kicked the ball to the Raiders. The Raiders did not score, but the Warriors received the ball and scored. As the quarter proceeded no one else scored and they went into half time. During our half time show, our John I. Burton band provided our entertainment. After the half time entertainment our cheerleaders had the honor of receiving trophies from the All AmeriCheer. They also announced to the community they had been selected to perform at the Capitol One Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Florida. 

In the third quarter, the Raiders got the opening kick. After the opening kick the Warriors received  the ball. As the third quarter was getting ready to end, the Warriors made a touchdown. At this time the score was 20-7, with Central in the lead. Starting the fourth quarter, Burton punted and Central received  it for a touch down. Shortly after Central fumbled and Burton recovered. After the recovery of the fumble, there was only four minutes left. Within these four minutes, Central caught the punt return and scored. After this the game ended, and Central had the victory with a score 34-7.
