Satellite just wrapped up their first undefeated season in school history, crushing Tradition Prep 53-0 on October 22nd. You read that right, *undefeated*. This isn’t just a regular win, this is a full-blown, jaw-dropping turnaround from a team that went 1-9 just two years ago. Talk about a glow-up!
Dominance From Kickoff: A 53-Point Statement
From the moment the whistle blew, it was clear Satellite came to dominate. They racked up a wild 37 points in the *first quarter* alone, letting the JV squad step in for the second quarter. That’s how you know you’re firing on all cylinders! Seven different players found the end zone, showing off a depth that’s just scary good. Senior QB Brody Grennan got things rolling with a 2-yard sneak, then after a safety, he dropped a 30-yard touchdown dime to senior Noah Corriveau, making it 16-0. The Scorpions kept that pressure coming, turning takeaways into points like it was nothing. Senior Kaden Whitworth snagged an interception, setting up senior Raiden Kerr for a 31-yard touchdown run on the very next play. And Whitworth wasn’t done, recovering a fumble on the goal line for his own score on the next play from scrimmage. The man finished with an interception and two fumble recoveries, an absolute beast! Junior Cayden Jackson added a 13-yard touchdown run, and junior Grady Tipps punched in a QB sneak, capping off a ridiculous 44-point first half. This wasn’t just a win, it was their fifth shutout of the season, and their third time hitting at least 50 points. This team is for real.
Building a Beast: The Playoff Push Continues
Coach Dan Burke is clearly thrilled, and why wouldn’t he be? “For a team that was 1-9 two years ago, I think it’s great for these guys to complete a season like they just did,” he said. He’s proud of their consistency, how they’ve met every challenge head-on. Getting the JV players significant reps in a blowout like this is huge for the program, too. “That’s kind of how you build a program,” Burke explained. Satellite is heading back to the SSAA Atlantic state playoffs for the second year in a row, and they are hungry. Last year’s loss in the state quarterfinals to the eventual state champion still fuels them. Burke mentioned watching that game film again in January, a constant reminder of how close they were, only down 13-3 at halftime. That kind of pain, that kind of drive, it makes a team dangerous. The Scorpions were ranked fourth in the South Division heading into the final regular season week, and they’ll likely host at least a first-round playoff game. With a senior class that’s played together for so long, Burke feels they’re ready to make a run. Take it week by week? Absolutely. But this team has got something special brewing.
What’s next for the Scorpions? They’re diving headfirst into the SSAA Atlantic state playoffs. After losing in the state quarterfinals last year, every single game is about proving they’ve learned, they’ve grown, and they’re ready to go all the way. This isn’t just another season; this is their chance to etch their names in history even deeper. Let’s see them run it!
