On September 4, 2025, the Junior High Outlaw Football team put up a tough fight against Central. After a long game of hard work, they won their game 52-42.

According to Carson Goeckel, the team’s running back, the most challenging part of the game was “guarding their big tight end.” Goeckel also stated that “the O-line did an AMAZING job blocking for me.”

He thinks that the reason they won was because, “we played as a full team and they only had eight players, we also just played really well all together.”

Brodie Kelly, a seventh grader, thought that the most challenging part was “outside containment.” What Brodie had learned from his team’s performance was that “we CAN work together.”

The South Sumner Outlaws play again at home on September 11, 2025. Goeckel says that the game next week will be, “tough, especially based on the way they played last year, but we definitely have a chance.”
