PSA football wraps up historic inaugural season
Putnam Science Academy Football concluded its first-ever season with a hard-fought game against St. Thomas More on Senior Day. Despite a spirited defensive effort led by Arron McDaniels and Daryl Asante, the visiting team proved too much for the Mustangs, handing them a 49-0 loss.
According to Head Coach Mook Zimmerman: While the scoreboard didn’t reflect the team’s effort, the game symbolized much more than just the result. It marked the conclusion of a historic inaugural season—one filled with challenges, growth, and the establishment of a culture that sets the tone for years to come.
 “The most significant thing is completing this first season,” he said. “We laid a foundation to build on. We made history this year, and that’s something to be proud of.”
Throughout the season, PSA Football worked to define its identity and set a standard of excellence. From the leadership shown by the coaching staff to the determination displayed by the players, the Mustangs have created a culture of resilience and ambition that will serve as the bedrock for the program’s future success, the coach said.
“This year, we established a culture and a standard to build on in the coming years,” Zimmerman added. “The lessons learned this season will help us grow and improve as a program.”
Though the season ended with a loss, the team’s progress and achievements over its first year can’t be overlooked. The Mustangs have set the stage for what promises to be a bright future, with this inaugural campaign as a lasting reminder of the foundation they’ve built, Zimmerman said.
