8th Grade Gold Football: The 8th grade Gold Team was at home this week to take on the Bulldogs from Magnolia Jr High. For the 8th grade Gold A-Team, just like in past years, this game would be close for all four quarters. The Bears started the game on offense and wasted no time as they drove the ball down the field and scored to take the lead 6-0. The Bears defense played hard and fast all night. The Bulldogs scored on their second possession to make it 6-6, but our offense answered right back as the Bears took the ball right back down the field and scored to make it 14-6. The Bulldogs would score again to make it 14-14 at the half. The second half would be no different as both teams played hard. But with 3:00 left in the game, the Bulldogs scored to make it 20-14 and that would be it as the Bears fell short in the end. The Bears Gold B-Team offense would move the ball all night on the Bulldogs. The Bears defense played hard and fought all night but could not pull it out in the end as they fell to the Bulldogs 26-0. Great job!
