Latest Transfer Moves

By: Jake

These are the latest transfer moves in the NFL.

Le‘veon bell was just moved to the Ravens practice squad from the Kansas City Chiefs. He is hoping to get to the 53 man roster for them. The Ravens are adding him to their 3rd string running back after their other one left the team.

The New England Patriots have released Cam Newton and are planning on making Mac Jones the starting Quarterback when they drafted him this year. Mac Jones is not surprised that he is starting, but he will keep talking with him because he has been helping him.

The New Orleans Saints released the backup running back Latavius Murray because they wanted to pay him less money, but he refused, so now he got released. The new backup will be Tony Jones.

These are the most recent transfer moves and the most interesting.

Cross Country

by Jacob A.

I interviewed Mr. Drucker the 7th grade cross country coach. This is how he answered some questions about cross country.

How long have you been coaching cross country?

This is my fifth year coaching middle school cross country.

Why did you want to coach cross country?

Running is a passion of mine and I enjoy sharing that passion with young athletes. It is a sport that anyone can do. It involves team motivation as well as competing against yourself. The sport encourages us to live healthy lives and enjoy the social aspect that running brings.

Did you ever do cross country?

I did not do cross country, I hated running in middle school. It became a passion for me after college, which has inspired me to coach.

Cross Country starts in 7th grade. Consider giving it a try!
