GAME 1 – 5:30PM - COWBOYS vs COLTS

This night with great cool football weather had this great entertaining game for the fans with lots of offense & twists and turns.

Cowboys then took the lead on a 10-yard TD catch by #7 WR Heaton Y., from QB #15 Finn G. Convert by #2 K Lucas H., Cowboys 7 Colts no score.

The 3rd quarter had a 37-yard field goal try by Cowboys #2 Lucas H., tipped at the line by the Colts which allowed them to run it out of the endzone. Several long runs from scrimmage by Colts #11 RB Hayden B., racked up the yardage but no score so still 10-6 at the end of the 3rd.
The 4th quarter featured lots of great plays on both sides of the ball. A TD saving tackle at the one by Cowboys DB #21 Bryce D., a 50-yard run by Cowboys #12 Simon A., from their 1 to midfield and then a Cowboys punt pinned the Colts deep in their end. A highlight reel 75-yard run by Colts #5 QB Logan R., went for a TD. The crucial convert was missed leaving the score Colts 12 Cowboys 10. With time ticking down Cowboys try a 43-yard field goal but it goes wide. The Colts offensive drive stalls and a poor punt gives the Cowboys the ball at the Colts 32 and #2 Lucas H. kicks the winning field goal with 13 secs left on the clock. Final score Cowboys 13 Colts 12.

GAME 2 – 7:45PM - BULLDOGS vs CALGARY CHIEFS

A cool dry night for Spring Football saw the Bulldogs & Chiefs in a defensive struggle in the first quarter with no scoring but an interception by Bulldogs #11 DB Cyle C., ending with a 15-yard horse-collar foul by the Chiefs got the Dogs to the Chiefs 15. The Bulldogs tried a 23-yard field goal at the start of the 2nd quarter, but it went wide. The Chiefs managed to get it out of the endzone but a Chiefs fumble in the shadows of their own goalposts allowed the Bulldogs to take over and Dogs #7 QB Nick R., runs it in for the Bulldogs TD. Convert is good making it Bulldogs 7 Chiefs no score. A number of great defensive plays including an interception by Bulldogs #94 DB Andrew B., in his own endzone and a TD saving tackle by Bulldogs #43 LB Ethan S., kept the score 7-0 Bulldogs at the half.
In the 3rd quarter, Bulldogs block a Chiefs punt but can’t move the ball. The score remains 7-0 Bulldogs.

In the 4th, a 40-yard catch & run by Chiefs #5 WR Austin L., is stopped by a TD saving tackle by Bulldogs DB Camilo G. On the next Chiefs series, a 20-yard TD catch by Chiefs # 1 WR Oliver N., and a good convert makes it 7-6 Bulldogs. A 22-yard field goal by Chiefs K #25 Thatcher J., makes the score 9-7 Chiefs. The Bulldogs have several chances to add to their score after a Chiefs unnecessary roughness foul, but a Bulldogs fumble recovered by Chiefs #90 DL Leif N., seals the victory for the Chiefs 9-7.
