North's Huskies got off to a 1-0 start for the 2008 season Friday night at Central Stadium by beating the Bosse Bulldogs 49-30.

Complete stats for the event are available here. 

Occurring in the midst of the 2008 Olympics, it was only fitting that the Huskies’ 08 season opener resembled a track meet.  In fact, it resembled a relay race in which two teams blaze out of the blocks, battle through the turn, go neck and neck down the back stretch, and then watch as one anchor man brings home a victory and the other falters.

Such was the North versus Bosse varsity football game at Central Stadium Friday night.

In a thrilling 49-36 victory, the Huskies displayed the kind of speed that has become a hallmark of Mike Wilson coached teams for decades.  What they also showed was something that hadn’t been witnessed in quite some time: a precision passing game capable of converting key third downs and sustaining long drives.

1st QUARTER

The opening drive of the ’08 season certainly resembled the ’07 version of the Huskies.  A good kickoff return gave the Big Green good field position, a medium pass from QB Cameron Whitler got turned into a 52 yard gain by WR Drew Hawkins, and then HB Travis Carlile powered the ball past two defenders and into the end zone.  Less than a minute and thirty seconds into the event and the Huskies had claimed a seven point lead.

The Empire Strikes Back

Bosse, whom North had beaten in 11 straight bouts dating back to 1997, was not without their own weapons this season.  The most prominent of these was an expatriate Husky who carried the ball six of the seven plays in their opening drive and scored a touchdown.  When a North back was stripped of the ball on the Huskies’ next possession, a Bulldog defender snatched it up and rambled down the sideline 55 yards uncontested for the go ahead score.  Suddenly the Huskies were behind and trailing the Scarlet and Gray for the first time since 2004.
