NIPMUC VARSITY FOOTBALL NEWS
It was a beautiful night for a game under the lights in Grafton. Nipmuc had a great showing against the Indians, who were last years Superbowl champs. The Nipmuc Warriors played well defensively giving up only 6 points. Grafton’s defense outmatched Nipmuc’s offense and the game ended 6-0 Grafton.
The Warriors most exciting play was a lateral pass. Nipmuc’s quarterback tossed the ball to Nick Greer who made an impressive completion down field but Nipmuc was not able to take advantage of their field position.
The Nipmuc Warriors next game is Friday September 20 at Hopkinton – 7 pm.

They were matched against the Bellingham Black Hawks. The Nipmuc Warriors won the first set, lost the second set 23/25, and won two sets in a row to take the game.
