The Cortland Red Dragons are unable to bring the Cortaca Jugs back to Cortland this year. The Dragons faced a tough Bombers offense and a strong defense to lost the game with the final score 23-20. With 9,700 people in the stadium to witness this great battle of athletes they surely got their moneys worth. One of the major components to the Cortland team this year was senior wide receiver Wayne Wheeler. He finished his day in his last Cortaca game with 4 receptions with 2 of them for touchdowns. The Dragons had the ball with a minute left to play and with them only down 3 points, it looked for a moment that the dragons would pull out a termendous upset. However, quaterback Alex Smith threw an interceptions to seal the Dragon fait for this years game. The game will be held next year in Cortland for the now said "upcoming national champs" to take back what belongs in Cortland.The Cortland Red Dragons will face St. John The Fisher in an ECAC bowl game this weekend for the final game of the season. This game will be the last for the seniors on this Cortland team and they all have high hopes to end their college football careers with a win. This being the last game that these players will play in puts it in to persepective how little time we really have. I've spoken with many of the seniors on this years team and they all basically relay the same message to appreciate everything that you have when you have it, and never let a day go by when you dont realize this. These words that are filled with emotion simply go to show the love that is needed to play this amazing game. Go Red Dragons.
Maybe this will be some type of motivation for the Cortland Football team for next year. The players had a good season but this is usually the highlight of the season for these two good Football programs. Cortand is in need of bring home the Jug. Three seasons in a row we have lost so maybe next year. Good Luck next week to the Football team. Go Dragons.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I seen this year, you guys were a good football team, just had a couple bad breaks throughout the year. Going into next year with a chip on your shoulder could be what the program needs to get back on top. Either way good luck.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't able to make the game so I watched bits of it on my television. It was a tough game to watch because of the fact that we were never able to get momentum fully on our side however we were able to keep it close enough to the point that we were not ever fully out of the game. I hope that Cortland can win next year on our home field. I would live to see us win once while I'm a student here.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Our whole team is looking forward to next year and we should be pretty good if we work hard enough. Try and make it down to a couple games next year and support the school. It's always good when we have a lot of fans. Thanks for the luck
