Police Chief Joel Rush served as the Westfield seventh-grade honorary coach for the home game against Hamilton Southeastern Middle School on Sept. 11. Head Coach Birch Dalton said Rush spoke to the team about “hard work, discipline and looking beyond playing football in life.” Rush discussed his history as to when he played football in middle school up to his current role as police chief.
On the field, the Shamrocks won 14-13 in a close game. Dalton said Shane Bola had the game-winning interception in the fourth quarter and Jacob Riddle kicked two very important PATs to seal the win. The victory moved Westfield to 4-0 on the season.
