CHS Football Team Hosts Brighton on Thanksgiving Day
The Chelsea High football team will conclude its 2019 season with a contest against Brighton High School on Thanksgiving Day morning at Chelsea Stadium.
The opening kick-off is set for 10:30.
The Red Devils are coming off their best performance of the year, a 24-6 victory over South Boston, and will be seeking to end their season on a winning note.
“Brighton is a big, physical team who is well-coached,” said CHS head coach Rasi Chau. “Our coaching staff has been watching every single film of them and taking a lot of notes. They will pound you with a lot of runs because of their size on the front line.
“They have a good backfield and their quarterback does a good job reading the field,” Chau continued. “Their defense is very aggressive and always playing 11 to the ball until they hear a whistle. Our game plan vs. them will be a lot of mix and matches.
“They haven’t seen everything we want to do yet,” Chau added. “We’re going to run something different on offense to confused their defense up. On defense we are doing to disguise coverages, stunts, and blitzes. We are going to give them a good fight Thanksgiving morning.
“We need 110% efforts from everyone on our team,” Chau concluded. “This game is very important to everyone, especially our seniors. We want to end our last game on a good note and Thanksgiving food will taste much better with a win.”
