Greenwave Football Kicks Off Season

Friday night, a new era for the varsity Greenwave football team began. With Calvin Conners as the new head coach, a new turf field, and new uniforms, the future was looking bright and exciting. This new journey began with probably the toughest opponent they would face all year, the Reed Raiders. Unfortunately, it appeared that opening night jitters got the best of Greenwave. Quarterback Matt Bird's first pass attempt for the night was picked off and ran back for a quick touchdown. That, combined with a few other team turnovers, spotted the Raiders with 35 points in the first quarter. 

At the start of the second quarter, Greenwave tightened up their play and minimized any more self-inflicted pain, allowing their opponents only a field goal for the rest of the game. The Greenwave never quit and fought the entire game. Their commitment to each other culminated with Rylan Clark running the ball in for a touchdown with just over two minutes left in the game. The final score of the game was 38-7 in favor of Reed.  

The Greenwave's next game is another home game on Friday at 7 p.m. against the North Valleys Panthers.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
