Nobody could’ve asked for a better start to the 2022 Sullivan-Okaw Valley football season than the Redskins winning their first varsity game in five years by a score of 33-27 over the Newton Eagles in the August 26 home opener. This game will be one to remember for years to come.
Sophomore running back Aian Fryman said that this game was the end of the losing era and the beginning of a winning era. An early win like this has already pumped up the players to make this a successful season.
Principal Daniel Allen expressed his opinion on this win as well, “A moment like that transcends the walls of the school and brightens the climate throughout the entire community.”
The win is a bright spot for  SOV’s program after the varsity football season was canceled last year. Head Football Coach John Bertetto said, “Looking back to last year, canceling the varsity season was a very tough decision, but it was the best decision to keep our kids safe and give them a chance to compete at the varsity level for the future.”     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
