Cubs Maul the Indians

Cubs Maul the Indians

Our Olney Cubs traveled to Haskell on Sept. 9 to continue their rain of pain on opponents. The Cubs are 3-0 and continue to grow more physical with each game. The Cubs have now earned the respect of the district and of a majority of high school sports writers with their smothering defensive play style and punishing Veer ground game. During first-quarter play against the Indians, it was a battle of defenses with the Cubs breaking out with a Gatlin Guy 40-yard run for 6 and a successful extra point kicked by Jacob Hernandez. The first quarter ended with the Cubs on top 7-0.

Cubs Sink the Pirates

Cubs Sink the Pirates

The Cubs traveled to Petrolia September 2, to match grit and heart against the Pirates. The Pirates have for years given a true test of where the Cubs are at in terms of readiness for the season. The Pirates always seem to have some of the biggest players in the district and the prowess on the field usually matches the size of their players.
