Friday night The Concord varsity football team traveled to Jonesville. The boys started hot and piled on a 32-8 lead in the first half. They were able to hold on despite a lot of adversity and finished with a big win, 38-32. Unfortunately The JV wasn’t able to get their second win on Thursday. They were riddled by injuries. Despite that, they never quit. We are always proud of our Concord boys effort regardless of outcome. Great job JV, most teams would have folded early, but you fought to the end!!
