Catching long touchdown passes is nothing new for Windsor senior Kieran Horton.

But it wasn't always this easy for him and his teammates.

The Black Knights have just four game balls, and during the rain, they get waterlogged and become hard to play with.

"Our biggest problem with footballs, trying to dry them and everything, is after a while, the ball soaks in water so it's harder to dry with a towel and we don’t really have anything to dry it with other than a towel at practice," said Horton.

That problem brought four of those players from the football field to the classroom to try and solve the problem.

Throughout the year, the students worked in their technology class to develop a football dryer.

"I thought it was a pretty good idea because they'll have the opportunity. I could see them being able to build a prototype. They can actually bring it to the point it would be an object that they can test," said Windsor High School technology teacher Mark Wentka.

Right now, the students are in the research phase and are working toward the design and building phase.

"We had surveys put out to coaches trying to get the specs we need for the actual prototype," said Windsor High School senior Casey Hull.

While these seniors might never play with these footballs again, they're hoping to be a big help to the future Windsor teams.

"We get to help out future teams, help out other teams and just be able to help out the game of football and make it a better sport," said Hull.

"It's all a common interest but to know this could actually be something that will help someone is pretty cool," said Horton.

From the gridiron to the classroom, these seniors are hoping to leave a big impact on their school. The students will present their final project to Binghamton University in June.
