On a beautiful late Wednesday afternoon the Brethren Bobcats traveled over to Portager Field to take on the undefeated Onekama/Bear Lake football team. In the 1st quarter with 1:24 to go Dan Gillespie on a quarterback keeper scampered around the left side and ran 23 yards for a touchdown. The 2 point conversion was no good. Then with a 1:00 left in the 1st quarter Jake Matthews intercepted a Bobcat pass and ran it back 32 yards for a touchdown the 2 point conversion was no good. and at the half the Portagers led 12-0 as neither team could score in the 2nd or 3rd quarter. Then with 2:46 to go in the game, Dan again on quarterback keeper ran the ball from 5 yards out for a Touchdown and then threw a completed pass to Joe Kosboski for the 2 point conversion. The Portagers were ahead 20-0 and then Jordon Zupin recovered a Bobcat fumble and the Portagers were able to run out the clock and win by the score of 20-0. Portagers are now 5-0 on the season with one game left.
