Boys Middle School Football vs. Blissfield HS School

Game Date
Sep 28, 2022

 

The 8th Grade Redwolves picked up their 2nd victory of the season avenging last season’s loss to the Blissfield squad. Opening up on offense, the Redwolves would find some success on the ground with running backs Jake Halchishak, Jonah Hahn, and Dacari Garrison, but the drive would stall out inside the Royals 10 yard line with a turnover on downs.  The quarter would end with a long Royal run just into Redwolf territory. A big tackle for loss by Outside Linebacker Will Hawkins and a penalty on the Royals would put them behind the chains and enable the Redwolves to force a Turnover on Downs on the Royals 45 yard line. Offensive lineman Gabe Cabellero, Chance Maddox, David Johnson, Will Hawkins, Owen Wright, Keegan Keith, Lucas Coughlin, Ashton Wiedenbeck, Jake Jeffrey, and Brody Wenn would get the push the Redwolves needed on the following drive allowing Jake Halchishak to score a rushing touchdown from 7 yards out (6-0).  The 2-point conversion attempt to follow would be unsuccessful.  The Royals would answer with a touchdown of their own to cap the first half scoring, but would also be shut out of the end zone on their 2-point conversion attempt (6-6). 

The Royals started the 2nd half with the ball, but couldn’t protect it as Safety Dacari Garrison forced a fumble that was recovered by Cornerback Jake Jeffrey on the Redwolves 46 yard line.  The Redwolves would not be able to capitalize on the turnover with the drive resulting in a Turnover on Downs just inside Royal territory.  The Redwolves defense would bend but not break on the ensuing drive, eventually halting the Royals with a Turnover on Downs on the Redwolves 25 yard line.  Garrison would pick up big chunks of yardage on successive run plays, totaling over 50 yards on the drive, to get the Redwolves into the Royal Red Zone which enabled Jake Halchishak to counter the blitzing Royals defense and scamper 10 yards untouched into the endzone.  The Redwolves would counter back again with Halchishak for a successful 2-point conversion (14-6).  The potential game tying drive by the Royals would result in a quick turnover on downs due to the swarming Redwolves defense, and the offense would seal the victory with the first down to wind down the clock for the 14-6 victory.  

Also contributing greatly to the team victory was Quarterback/Safety Louie Della-Badia

The 8th Grade Redwolves are now 2-1 on the season and look for their 3rd straight victory at the Dundee Vikings on Oct. 05.
