Football by Kym Dowling The Colorado River Conference Pop Warner season just came to a close. Our local organization, The River Valley Vipers, had an outstanding season. Topock Junior High School students Bradley Thornton, Alex Dowling and Kolby Dowling represented our school well. This was Alex and Bradley’s last year in Pop Warner, and they are both looking forward to playing football in high school. They played in the Midget division. This was a season of big wins, big losses and character building moments. Bradley contributed positive yards on offense at wide receiver with impressive receptions that he turned into big gains. On the other side of the ball, he was a force to be reckoned with, getting some big sacks and an interception. Alex stepped up this year to be a team leader. He left everything on the field playing through an injury and inspiring his team to stay in the game even when things looked bleak. Alex ran for five touchdowns at half back, seldom being brought down by less than two opponents. He ran the field on defense and had numerous sacks and tackles at outside linebacker. Kolby played in the Pee Wee division, and his team was in contention for first place the whole season, ending up in second by a narrow margin. Kolby played right guard and right tackle on offense . His team could count on him blowing through the defense providing huge holes for the backs to run through. Kolby was a beast on defense at outside linebacker and DB. He caused fumbles, got an interception, had several sacks and was in on a ton of tackles. Kolby’s team participated in the River Bowl, an invitational bowl game hosted by our local conference. They played Las Alamitos and were one of the few local teams to beat an opponent from California. It was an exciting game and they ended up winning big! Football season begins in August, the same week as school, with the kids practicing during the hottest part of the year. They have to balance their academic responsibilities with an intense practice schedule. Alex and Kolby were on the “A” honor roll during this year’s football season. Bradley, Alex and Kolby are young men of character whose values have been refined by their families, school, community and their Vipers family.
