Our first regular season game is in the books and we actually performed a lot better than I thought we would. We played against #23 Grove City and fully expected to be blown out of the water. To our surprise (and delight!) we actually lead the game at half time, 21-14.
Unfortunately, the second half did not go as well. Grove City featured a deliberate running attack and their drives easily took more than seven minutes each. As for us, we were unable to score at all in the second half and lost the game 28-21. We had some chances in the second half, but just could not finish.
Junior WR Edward Fleming had an excellent game, catching eight balls for 157 yards and a score. True Freshman Rodney Barrera also played well, catching two touchdown passes of his own.
This was probably our most winnable non-conference game, but then again, we didn't expect to have a shot at that one. Next up, we'll take a shot at Maryville.
