Rocklin High School Football

The football season has started. It is definitely my favorite time of the year. The first game against Oakridge went well we came out on top with a victory. However, the game up at Nevada Union didn't exactly go as planned. The Thunder fought right until the end, but there were a few rough patches of the game. Starting quarterback, Tiger Sorenson, hurt his collarbone and now is out for 3-4 weeks. The second string quarterback, Garth Keffer, however, just couldn't handle the pressure to keep the Thunder in the lead. The Varsity coaching staff decided they needed a new fresh face to keep the Thunder going. They pulled up sophomore, Jimmy Laughrea, the JV quarterback, to help the Thunder in their further season victories. He's young, but he's well prepared. He transferred to Rocklin this year from rival school Granite Bay High. He's really athletic and the coaches have confidence in him that he will succeed. The older boys are happy to have him on the team. He will start his Varsity season tonight at the game at Las Lomas High School. Hopefully, it will go well and we will come home with a victory.
