Even though playing against Paramount High School may seem like it’s a rivalry at times, Tryse Redford, 12, continues to play football, the sport he loves, on October 8, 2021. In order to perform their best, Redford states, “We practice Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, take a break on Thursday, and come out Friday ready to play, simple.” After tonight's win, score being 40-0, Redford is ready to, “Go home, eat, shower, and call bae.” The Downey Football team ends their seventh game of the season with a record of 6-1. The Downey Vikings plan on extending their six game winning streak at the homecoming game on October 15th against Dominguez High School.
