Tigers are 2 & 0 as Season Begins
By Mike Cameron
    Sophomore Sean Harrison’s 78-yard kickoff return was more than just an opening night crowd pleaser.  Harrison’s nifty jaunt would ultimately help provide the margin of victory for Middlebury Union High School in a knock-down, drag-out, turf war with the Sea Horses of Burlington High on 9-1-06.  “I saw the lane open up and made a move to the outside off a nice block. Then I saw open field and was able to shake one more guy at about the 20 to go in,” Harrison remembered after the game won by the Tigers 27 to 22.
    B.H.S. Senior tailback Andrew Plumley lived up to his advanced billing  with several eye-poping runs and solid defense from his spot in the secondary especially in the second half.  The two-way standout also proved to be a potential game-breaker by scoring two second half touchdowns and gained 116-yards on 22 carries.
