Carlisle Varsity Football on Channel 7 WHIO

This week the Carlisle Varsity Football team was displayed on WHIO Channel 7 by Mike Hartsock. The Channel 7 Sports crew was on the scene of their scrimmage against West Carrolton on Tuesday morning.

The opening remarks was a bit hurtful with Mike Hartsock stating, "Carlisle has never been a contender in the SWBL race". It didn't set the stage too well. The video goes on to discuss the Indians have been 5-5 the last two years under Head Coach Bill Jewell.

Carlisle has a ton of talent returning from last year's squad and have a ton of talent in the skill positions. WHIO interviewed Coach Bill Jewell and two seniors Jake Langdon and Jake Gibson. Langdon talked about the attitude that this team has this year and the attitude they know they can win. Gibson talked about the depth of the team and how that is going to help them win games. Coach Jewell talked about this team having a lot of heart and during workouts in the offseason how Mark Townsley, AD, had to get them extra trash cans because the boys were pushing themselves so hard there was a bit more puking this year.

The close of the video discusses the Indians do not have to have much more motivation than to start their season off against arch rival Franklin. Langdon closed this segment with "We hate Franklin and they hate us....it's going to be NASTY."

Well, that is enough said. The Indians are working hard and preparing for their first game against Franklin on August 28th! This will be a HUGE game with tailgating beginning early in the day and two very excited football teams ready to battle it out on the field!
