Adam Harper likes Northwood’s progress
There were some questions at the beginning of the season about the Northwood High School football team, coached by JC Clarke. Mainly, it was an untested offensive line. Many of the linemen are filling in for the regulars and have risen to the challenge, providing plenty of great opportunities for star running back Adam Harper.
The Timberwolves defeated Beckman 33-14 to improve to 4-1.
“We faced a lot of adversity, but we’ve overcome it,” Harper said after Thursday’s win. “A lot of the guys have stepped up and I’m really proud of this team. We are a tough little team, we don’t have much ostentation around. We do our job and fly to the ball and hit our screens.
“So we’re going to be a tough team to beat if we do our job.”
Northwood plays Portola next Friday. Bulldogs coach Peter Abe was on hand Thursday scouting the Timberwolves.
