Fairfield County

 There is a lot of hype going into this game whether you may be aware of it or not. Last season in the Gridiron Elite a Sophomore Ct Ravens  opened its season against the New York Spartans. Just as we did this season we opened up with a victory. The Spartans fought in this match but our defense proved too much. They could have hung their head and let it dictate the rest of the season negatively. The loss did dictate their season, hurt them but motivated them at the same time. Their goal was to see a Ravens team in the playoff and eliminate us. Unfortunately the cinderalla season wasn't ours it was theirs. Their playoff road wasn't easy but they had two focuses one on the crown and the other on avenging that loss by beating us. We made it to the playoffs and I remember them standing at their sideline hoping that we beat the demon knights and face us for the Grand Finally. If your still reading this you should  know that as a returning Raven I don't intend to take a loss from them now more than ever since they are the defending champs. I heard chirps not slander about us at the All-Star game so they are looking forward to this game as much as we are. This team has heart and is going to challenge us but its our job to rise to the occassion and prove ourselves one week at a time. I challenge every Raven on the team look in the mirror and ask themselves "How bad do I want this?"  And if you want this as bad as I do show up Sunday with your game face don't yap about what you done, could've done or going to do but make a play one play at time.
