Watson hopes to "Sting" with the Bees!

FZN Senior Cerry Watson recently committed to play football at St. Ambrose University located in Davenport, Iowa. Watson was a 2-year starter for the Panther football team that went a combined 22 - 3 over the course of the last two seasons. This past season, Watson collected 52 solo tackles, with 13 of those being for a loss, from his linebacker position. He also totaled 25 assists, 3 sacks, and recorded 2 fumbles and an interception. His one interception occurred in the overtime period against Francis Howell, therefore sealing the victory for the Panthers. For his efforts, Watson was named as a GAC Central 2nd team "All-Conference" performer. Watson also played on the offensive side for the Panthers as a slot-back. He rushed for 120 yards on 11 carries and caught 5 balls for a total of 63 yards. Watson also lettered in basketball and track for North High.

St. Ambrose University, whose moniker is the "Fighting" Bees, is a NAIA member who competes in the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference (CCAC). Last season the Bees recorded a 6 - 4 overall record.
