The Savoy family ruled over this region of Italy for a
greater part of a century. It was
a beautiful home that has hundreds of rooms full of painting and antiques.
Lucky for me everything was in Italian and English, so I was able to learn a
little bit about 14-19th century Northern Italy. It may sound
boring, if it was for a class or from a book, but when you experience it, it
makes it more exciting - my advice, don’t take the class go live it!
The week was up and down for the team; we didn’t have
our best preparation. However, we came out on top with a 45-14 victory over
Naples.
The first half was completely controlled by us. We ran
the ball well and kept their offense shut down. We jumped out to a fast 14-0
lead and continued to keep the game at our tempo. We finished the first half
with a two-minute drill touchdown to send the other team to the locker room
with their heads down.
We came out the second half swinging, Niles went for a 50-yard
reception to the end zone – it was 28-0 early in the third quarter. Although we
gave up a pair of touchdowns on defense, it was good opportunity for most of
the team to get game experience.
The defense played a solid throughout most of the game,
with some let up in the fourth. On
offense it usually increases your chances to win when your running back goes
for over 300 yards of total offense with a pair of touchdowns – it’s safe to
say Niles was the MVP of this game.
This week we face off with the Bologna Warriors,
probably not the strongest team we will face all season. Bologna has a history of winning, so we
know they wont lay down for us. It’s first road game, and I always preferred
road games. I enjoyed getting yelled at by the opposing fans and experiencing a
new atmosphere. Should be another fun challenge for our team.
