Port Washington varsity football team wins first playoff game in 50 years

I remember times where we'd be here waterboying for the varsity team and you'd all be dreaming about this exact moment. I think it's really cool that we're finally here and it's all coming together. Coach Cloggs, he's uh works at the middle school and since we're in like sixth grade he would always tell us like y'all are going to be up there you guys are going to do it it's going to be your grade. So he just had that in our minds and I'm just so grateful for He's really thankful for all the confidence he has in us and our teammates. Our offensive coordinator, Coach Proper, he started calling plays last year, and I think he's one of the best on the island at doing it, and he's just so great, and I'm so grateful to have both of them. We definitely changed the culture of football in this community, and you kind of see it now with everyone coming out to games and really a lot of older generations just coming back. Even sometimes when we have a game, there'll be a youth game wrapping up, and there's a good amount of kids there. Like playing and it just gives us hope for the future. Years prior we've always been on the come up so it's kind of like we've had to try to get support from our fans and give them something to cheer for and I think that this year we did that so I think it's kind of like you put in the work you see the... We have a strong senior class and even that we gained I think like seven to eight new seniors who have never even played and juniors and guys like just rallying guys getting people to want to be a part of this program and coming out here and working and it all adds up and like you said guys buying in. I think we come into it obviously they're a very strong opponent but I think we approach it how we approach every game be the best version of ourselves and I think the work really comes right here on this field. I think it's going to translate to Pasha. I know that they're like... State champs and they haven't lost in a while and they're a great team but we're really focused on what we do and trying to get better each and every day. I'm gonna miss like suiting up every day to play with my friends that I've known like my entire life really and it's like especially the coaches too like I have relationships with them all of them like different ones but they vary but I mean I love them and I know they love me so I just I'm gonna miss them. One, two, three, family.
