Cambridge-Salem Football Preview

cambridge07

As fall creeps ever closer we all anticipate what is sure to come over the next few weeks. The day’s grow shorter, apples will be picked and none of us can find the scraper the first morning there’s frost on the windshield.  One more thing we’ve come expect, Cambridge will win football games almost every weekend and compete for sectional, if not state championships.

Last season after years of dominating the Class D ranks, the Indians moved up to the C classification and never missed a beat going 10-1, with a Section II title and a state quarterfinal appearance.

While graduation in June took many key players with it, head coach Doug Luke certainly has a nice selection from which to fill the void. Continue reading
