Despite tons of penalties, the Olympians beat Shenandoah at home 24-6. It was homecoming and we’re all glad the field sort of held up. Now there’s three weeks till Marian comes to Olympian Stadium!

A harvest moon rose over the game on Sept. 24, 2010.

It was a hot night but Olympian Stadium was packed with football fans. The team did not disappoint pulling out a W over Panther Valley, 14 – 0. The fans came to see a football game and they got one. Great job guys! And thanks to all the fans for cheering on the team. We appreciate your enthusiasm and support for the football team and what the games mean to the entire school.

Did you know the concession stands raise money for the Senior Class and other clubs? Our football team and the people who support it support all of these other organizations, too. THANK YOU!

From the Times-News:

Through the first two weeks of the season, the Jim Thorpe football team has relied heavily on its running game.

The Olympians have run the ball a total of 87 times for 427 yards in their victories over Tamaqua and Reading Central Catholic while attempting to pass on just 15 occasions.

It is easy to see from the numbers that Mark Rosenberger’s first priority is to establish a running attack. The Jim Thorpe head coach will attempt to do the same this week. Except this time around it will be much, much tougher.

The Olympians will travel to North Schuylkill this Friday to compete in this week’s Game of the Week. Both teams enter the contest 2-0 and are averaging 329 yards-per-game on offense. However, neither offense will be the most dominant group on the field. That honor belongs to the Spartans’ defense.
