CORINTH – Coach Justin Culligan has stepped up from assistant coach last year to head coach this year.
“Last year we were two out of seven, so this year our goal is to be competitive, win a couple more games, try to get a play off spot,” Culligan said.
“We have a couple kids that are back. I think we have eight starters on defense and seven on offense that are back. Our starting quarterback is returning, Colt Guilder, he is a second year player. He started playing for us after week two last year, he played with us the rest of the year as the quarterback. He’s throwing the ball well, making good decisions, running the ball well. He’s doing good, we’re pretty happy with him right now,” Culligan said of Guilder.
The team Captains this year are Colt Guilder, quarterback, Nic Moses, Josh Nolet, and Garrett Wood, all seniors.
When asked how practice had been going, Culligan said, “we’ve started out very healthy, knock on wood.”
There is a long standing rivalry between Corinth and Lake George/Hadley-Luzerne, who they play October 6.
“We have a wooden Indian canoe that we all share, the winner gets it. It’s a statue and Lake George/Hadley-Luzerne got it last year,” Culligan said.
The team started practicing August 14 and had their first game of the season September 1 versus Stillwater. The Stillwater Warriors beat the Corinth Tomahawks 50 versus 13.
