Creekside Middle School Flag Football Team
Our Athletes of the Week are the Creekside Middle School Flag Football team. The Cougars played very well in the season’s first game (January 26), beating out John Muir Middle School (San Leandro) by a score of 18-6. Creekside started off the scoring when Niko Koperski (#1) intercepted a pass and took it back 60 yards for a pick-6 touchdown. Creekside scored again when quarterback William Jenson (#37) ran a 5-yard quarterback sneed in for a touchdown. Then Creekside finished off their scoring when Koperski took a handoff from Jenson and threw a 10-yard pass to receiver Jared Davis (#3) in the back corner of the endzone. Creekside will play against Newark tomorrow. The annual Battle of the Valley against crosstown rivals Canyon Middle School is on Thursday, Feb. 16, at John Brosnan Stadium at CVHS.
