But the contest was cut short by a brawl with a little over 4 minutes left in the game.That set off a series fo events that had Watertown out of the title game and expelled from the league. But then, team owner Billy Caprara negotiated a deal late Wednesday night.Red and Black coach George Ashcraft would like to put the week behind him and move forward.“Well, I think they’ll be more prepared. The way they were acting, hopefully now they’ll have a little bit of a step in their step so to say. It’s for everything you’ve worked for all year. I think they’ll be ready,” Ashcraft said.For the Red and Black players, news that they were back in for the champoionship game capped a roller coaster week that has given them a little extra incentive and motivation for Saturday night.“I honestly feel that it gives us motivation. I feel this team feels more motivated now because we are gonna go there and try to prove a point and try to come out on top,” said Josh Lear, Red an Black defensive lineman.“Everybody’s bought in and we all just want to win a championship. We just want to play football at the end of the day. We’re trying to put everything that happened the last 48 hours aside and just focus on football,” he said.“Yeah, definitely that makes us want to go in there and win even more. Since they want to get us out of there, makes us want to go in there and win big,” said Nick Cavellier, the Red and Black quarterback.“I mean, it does but there’s been a lot of things since we won the game. I don’t want to say it does but my team is ready. we’ve been ready,” said Semaj James, a wide rceceiver.The Red and Black are ready to focus on adding another championship to the trophy case this weekend.</div></body>
