The Gloversville Huskies have started off to a great season with senior leadership and a dedicated work ethic. Ever since players can remember, they’ve been hitting it hard in the weight room in the off season and getting work done on the practice field since August.

The first week against Mohonasen High School seemed to be a good match to test the Huskies. After the first half of the game, it seemed that the Warriors had no chance. In the end of the game, the final was 40-12 Huskies. Besides the Warriors busting open two lucky plays for touchdowns, the Gloversville defense was fierce and aggressive. The offense also did its part scoring six touchdowns while running all over the Warriors defense.

In the next week, the Huskies faced off against the Bishop Maginn Griffins. Last season, the inexperienced Huskies lost twice to the Griffins once in regular season and once in the sectional playoffs. However, the Huskies prevailed once again in a crushing win over the Griffins, 51-6. The defense once again flew to the ball and contained the star running back for the Griffins for fewer than 75 yards rushing. The offense did its part staying strong the whole game; even the second offense got some points on the board.

Called the “game of the week” by Syracuse.com, the 3^rd best team in the state Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake Spartans hosted the 17^th best team in the state Gloversville Huskies. Unfortunately, the Spartans won 46-6 over the Huskies. The Huskies put up an honorable effort, but it was no match for the dominating force of the Spartans. Hopefully, the Huskies will see them again this season; they’re ready for another try.

Week after week, your Huskies have been playing hard on the field.  Recently, we secured the home team advantage during the Sectional playoff game.  While the regular season is over, we plan on extending our playing time in sectionals.

The community couldn’t be any more supportive behind the team this year, with huge turnouts at home games and amazing equipment supplied by the Huskies’ Alumni Club. The efforts of these people often go unnoticed but are huge reasons why the team is so strong and close this year. Let’s go Huskies!
