Garretson Blue Dragon Varsity Football traveled to Alcester on 9-9-2020. Final Score was Garretson 17, Alcester-Hudson 32. Alcester-Hudson came to the game with a 3-0 record this season so far. Now they’re 4-0.
“Alcester-Hudson is a good team,” said Blue Dragon Head coach Jerry Weiland. “Giving up the opening kickoff for a touchdown put us in a hole.”
Garretson did move the ball well, gaining 259 yards in 45 plays when compared to the 277 yards gained by Alcester-Hudson with 44 plays. Garretson had three turnovers, two fumbles and one pass intercepted, however, with 7 penalties that netted them 50 yards of loss. That was the key to the Blue Dragon’s loss this game.
“The Blue Dragons proved they had the ability to move the ball and to stop Alcester,” said Weiland. “All aspects of the game had shortcomings were from penalties and turnovers, to missed assignments.”
But it wasn’t all doom and gloom out there. Carson Clark, Hunter Abraham and Blaine Trower consistently moved the ball forward, with Clark and Trower making each making a good pass. We’ve also still got good kicking going on the field and with our end zone game.
“Jenna Van Holland started Garretson’s scoring with a 25-yard field goal in the second quarter,” said Weiland. “Hunter Abraham and Carson Clark ran for touchdowns with 4 and 21 yards respectively and Van Holland added the extra points on both those touchdowns!”
Garretson will not have a game this week due to a bye week and will set themselves up to face Parkston in the next game on Sept, 23rd.
