7th Grade Football
Columbus 24 - Girard 6
The Columbus 7th grade football team beat Girard 22 - 6 last
night for its fifth win of the season. The 7th graders end their
season with a record of 5 - 2. The kids had a solid season. This is
a group who will surprise you. When you look at these guys your
first impression would tell you they are small, but I can tell you
these little guys pack quite a punch. Last night the defense set
the tone for the game by making some big hits all evening long.
Girard’s first drive was four and out. Columbus scored its first
points of the game with a 15 yard run by Andrew Teel. The two point
conversion was also scored by Teel. Teel again scored in the first
quarter on a 25 yard run. The conversion was good by Teel. The
final score of the half and the game came in the second quarter.
Andrew Teel exploded through the line on a 40 yard run. Teel also
scored the conversion.
Its been a good season. I look forward to having these guys again
next year.
