Watertown Football Team Wins Home Opener Over Plymouth South

By |

The Watertown Hight School football team took down Plymouth South 24-6 Friday night in an non-league game that could be very helpful in the Raiders’ efforts to get back into the playoffs. Watertown improved to 2-0 on the season and the team was led once again by the feet and arms of senior quarterback Deon Smith. Smith drove down the field on the Raiders’ first possession for the opening score at Victory Field. Much of the yardage came from Smith’s running, but senior Vasken Kebabjian picked up a good chunk on a run of his own. The touchdown came on a run around the left side by Smith from five yards out.
