The GHS Football team traveled to Beresford. This was a hard game, and our athletes truly played hard, and rallied past adversity.
“We got ourselves down early, 13-0, which is always hard to overcome,” said Coach Chris Long.
“Beresford got some confidence early and established themselves on the ground. I was happy with the way we responded, we got a turnover to make it 13-6 and scored our first two possessions of the second half to take a 21-13 lead. We just needed to find a way to finish the game.”
Beresford ran the kickoff back for a touchdown after Garretson took the 21-13 lead, they were successful on the 2-point conversion and tied the game.
“The kickoff return was a momentum changer, they took the 28-21 lead and although we tied it, we really never stopped them after that point. We have a lot to work on and have a couple weeks before we host Flandreau to do that. We have to keep working hard and make the improvements that will help us become a more consistent team.”
Cody Erickson didn’t miss a point kick and Dylan Kindt made four rushing touchdowns. Dominic Abraham rushed a total of 115 yards. Cooper Long received a 44 yard pass.
This week is a bye round, and the next game will be the GHS Homecoming game against Flandreau.
