Since this is West’s first conference game against South Columbus, the stakes are higher than normal under the Friday night lights. West sees this as an opportunity to show off their skills and set the tone against a team with a decent football record. The student sections theme for this game is America, in order to pay respect to all the people who died during 9/11, and both teams are ready for this match and there was a bunch of excitement in the stands.
Junior quarterback Josiah Borton threw an astonishing four touchdowns and ran a touchdown for himself, getting 300+ total yards. Passing two of the touchdowns to senior K’Veon Griffin shows their true ability to work together on and off the field. This game really marked West’s true potential, as this is one of their best games of the last couple years.
West’s defense also played a crucial role, shutting down key plays and keeping South Columbus on their feet. This game served as a turning point, showing West’s true potential. With a performance like this, it’s clear the team is ready to compete at a high level this season, perhaps their best showing in recent years.
