Northern Valley Huskies vs Golden Plains 9/26/24
Northern Valley Junior Huskies took on the Golden Plains Bulldogs out in Rexford, KS on September 26th. The Huskies played their best game of the season but fell to the Bulldogs in a heartbreaker in the last 20 seconds. The Huskies fell to 0-3 for contact football games on the season.
The game was back and forth after the Bulldogs jumped out to a 13-0 lead. The Huskies scored three touchdowns before the half and the game was tied at 20 apiece at the half. The Huskies led the contest with a long successful drive capped by a Cash Compton rushing touchdown and Colt Rogers successful PAT run. The Bulldogs answered with two drives ending in scores and one PAT. The Huskies then answered back with a Cash Compton rushing touchdown again and an Aaron Horacek rushing PAT. The Huskies led 34-33 with 1:09 remaining. Despite multiple very good defensive plays where the Bulldogs did not yield much of anything positive, the Bulldogs did enough to move the ball downfield. The Bulldogs managed a deep throw to their number one receiver who slipped past the Husky defense. The Bulldogs had a personal foul following the score that pushed them back 15 yards on the final kick off, but the Bulldogs managed to successfully pull off the onside kick and recover it with 8 seconds left on the clock. The Huskies went home with a 34-39 loss but played by far the best they have all season. The Huskies will take on the Triplains-Brewster Titans on October 3rd.
Coach Pugh’s Comments- “I have so many positives to take out of this game and how well the team played. We were a couple of plays from our first victory of the season, and it was heartbreaking to end the way the game did. The amount of fight and emotion that came out of Thursday evening is a positive for our team growing each week. I’m incredibly proud of the boys after this game and we are looking better each and every week.”
