Ê However, East Jordan head coach Chris Nelson is proud of the way his team came out and fought hard, scoring on a big 30-yard touchdown strike from senior quarterback Scott Hansen to junior running back Anthony Castle. "Obviously, we are bummed about the loss, but this is the first time we've been able to come out and score. I give a lot of credit to my team for that, because Boyne City is an unbelievable club,"he said. The score stood at 28-6 with under a minute to go in the first half. Boyne City had the ball at East Jordan's 42 when senior quarterback Kelsey Nohel found senior wideout Stephen Redmer for a 38-yard gain down to the four. The next play was a touchdown punch right up the gut, sending the Ramblers into halftime up 34-6. "That drive really put a cap on it, and they got a lot of motivation going into the half,"Nelson said. One bright spot for the Red Devils was the play of senior outside linebacker Josh Dougherty, who amassed eight big tackles. "Josh came out this week in practice and showed he wanted to play,"Nelson said. "He had a terrific game and made us thankful we started him." East Jordan travels to Harbor Springs next week to take on the winless Rams. "Harbor Springs was one of the teams that we really battled against last year,"Nelson said. "It's going to be another battle this year. We just need to come out and play like we can play and execute our game plan."Ê The Ramblers' victory sets up a showdown next week against undefeated Elk Rapids, who pummeled Charlevoix 48-15 on Friday. Boyne City head coach David Hills says he's just going to treat it like any other week. "We'll re-evaluate what things are working and what we need to work on and move forward from there,"he said. |
