Fall River Dragons Football – Players Hit the Field

Fall has arrived, and the Fall River Dragons football teams are back on the field. Stan Hennigar and a number of volunteers have been busy getting the players on the Atom team prepared during regular practices at the Dragons practice field located in the Tamarac Hills Subdivision, at the top of Arthur Joseph Drive. The Peewee and Bantam teams are back in action as well.

The Atom team had it’s first game at Beazley field in Dartmouth on Sept. 6. Though the opposing Timberlea Titans won the game 7 : 14, the team played very well for the first game of the season. The Dragons player of the game was Joseph Doucet of Fall River.
