ThunderWolves travel to Ft. Pierce to take on the John Carroll Rams!

The Wolves traveled an hour north to play the John Carroll Rams. The game started off well with a defensive stop and a quick touchdown run by Tre Gabriel to start off the game. The Rams would quickly answer with a score of their own to tie the game up 7-7. The first half went back and fourth with plenty of defensive stops until with under 40 seconds left in the first half Tre Gabriel yet again blew up for a huge 65 yard touchdown run to end the half at 14-7. The half started with the Wolves self destructing with to many penalties and bad decisions. The score was 34-14 when the Thunderwolves finally scored again with a short touchdown run from Tyler Levin. With little time left they kicked an onside kick and recovered it in great fashion. They then drove down the field with Nick Russo throwing a touchdown pass to Grant Wrightson .They tried another miracle onside kick but failed to recover this time ending the game at 34-27. One of the stars of the game was LJ Stoll who was all over the field on defense. The football team will be back in action against Jupiter Christian Friday night at Dwyer High School at 7:00.

First Ever Oxbridge Academy Football Game

The Thunderwolves took to the gridiron for the first time in history on Wednesday in a historic game under the lights against the Palm Beach Lakes Rams. 

The season was kicked off by with a kick from Noah Singer, but unfortunately the game started off quick for the Rams only 8 plays into the game scoring a touchdown on a long bomb into the right corner of the end zone. But Tre Gabriel instantly returned the favor with an 80+ yard kick return for a touchdown touchdown for the first offense/special teams play in Oxbridge history. Palm Beach Lakes then came back driving down the field for another score. With the score at 14-7, Tre Gabriel then went De Ja Vu on the Rams and took another kick to the house with an amazing return tying up the score at 14-14. Once the Rams got the ball back Matthew Long then hit the quarterback and took the ball right from him, running it about 30 yards to the 15 yard line. Nick Russo then finished off the spectacular fumble recovery with a great pass to a wide open Will Koch in the end zone to take their only lead of the game at 20-14. At the end of the the first quarter the Rams led the Wolves 30-20 in an extremely high scoring opening quarter. The Thunderwolves luck then ran out with to many mistakes and turnovers. The Rams kept piling on the points until the end of the half with the score being 58-20. The second half was scoreless until Nick Russo found Will Koch yet again with a spectacular catch in the left corner of the end zone with one of the Lakes players hanging onto him with 2 minutes left. The final score ended at 58-27 as the Thunderwolves could not keep up.

 Overall it was a solid performance considering it was the first game ever in history. On the upside the team gained plenty of experience for its next game on Thursday, September 27 at John Carroll High School. The team also found two players great players in Tre Gabriel and Will Koch that proved they will be be a big part of this team for the rest of this season and seasons to come. Come out and see the Wolves take on John Carroll in Ft. Pierce at 4:00 on thursday.

First Oxbridge Academy Football "Live It"

On August 20, 2012 the Oxbridge Academy Thunderwolves football team started their inaugural week of practice. On August 24, 2012 they participated in Coach Doug Socha's "Live It" workout. This workout is an extremely intense workout for 48 minutes, which is the same length as a high school football game. You do a few specific workouts for 12 minutes straight and take short rests between quarters, then change up the workout. This prepares the players to be strong, tough, and keep them going with a great mentality throughout the entire length of a football game. Coach Socha focuses on "finishing" in many of his drills. 

Look below for the schedule of the inaugural season of Oxbridge Football. There will be no home games this season as our new stadium is in the process of being built. Come see us in action at our first game ever on September 19th at Palm Beach Lakes High School.
