Onekama 30 - Burr Oak 6
August 24, 2007

 

<- It looks as though J.J. has his own personal umbrella. Not true, he had to run in the rain like everyone else. And he sure did a lot of running!

     The first touchdown was scored when Dan Gillespie threw to Anthony Reedy for a 48 yard touchdown. The second touchdown came when J.J. ran 53 yards to bring the score to 12-0. J.J. scored again in the second quarter with a 69 yard run making it 18-0. Chad Mallory ended the first half with a 3 yard touchdown to take the score to 24-0.

     In the second half J.J. made a 40 yard run for Onekama's last touchdown of the game for a final score of 30-0. (He also had a 60 yard touchdown called back, but I told him I'd count it anyway.)

     Daldos led in tackling with 14. Randall had 11 tackles. The defense had 3 fumble recoveries and an interception with a five yard return by Daldos. Nathan Morrill and Gillespie each recovered a turnover.

     Totally, the Portager team had 295 yards rushing and another 66 yards passing.

     According to Coach Hunter, "It's nice to get one under our belt. We had a lot of young kids playing tonight, some in the first varsity game, some in their first football game. It's a good start."
