A new era in the history of Watertown High School football begins tomorrow night when the Indians open the 2009 season against visiting Kennedy High School at 7 p.m., with a pre-game re-dedication of the Mills Complex scheduled for 6:30 p.m.
This fall, the Indians have gone green.
Call it the FieldTurf Era, if you will, when the Indians take on the Eagles on their spanking-new field at the modernized Mills Athletic Complex; a state-of-the-art playing surface which can handle all the rain Mother Nature cares to pour down on it, has clearly established yard-line markers and hashmarks (no more counting the lines by fives to figure out where the ball is!) and perhaps best of all, will mean a serious reduction in uniform cleaning bills.
"This should be an exciting new beginning for our program with the new-look of the Mills Complex," said Indians' coach Roger Ouellette, who will begin his 19th season coming off a 6-5 season which ended with a three-game losing streak, including a heartbreaking 14-13 loss at Torrington High School last Thanksgiving.
Ouellette will be joined on the sidelines by assistants Jerry Valentino (defensive coordinator), Scott McQueeney (offensive coordinator) and Shawn Stanco (defensive back/receivers) as well as freshman team coaches Keith Borkowski and George Palomba.The following material was derived from foreign sources and is only available in its original language.
