Queen City sub varsity takes on Harleton

Queen City’s seventh and eighth grade football teams, along with the Junior Varsity team traveled to Harleton to take on the Wildcats last Thursday.

Seventh Grade

The seventh-grade game was a controlled scrimmage as the Harleton team had yet to have any game action. The Bulldogs, on the other hand, were attempting to improve on a good last half against Como-Pickton. The Bulldogs did just that, scoring three times while holding the Wildcats scoreless.

Eighth Grade

The eighth-grade team was hoping to build on a 2-0 record, and they did just that as the Bulldogs handed the Wildcats a 20-8 defeat.

The Bulldogs scored their first touchdown with seven seconds left in the first quarter when Landry Blythe connected on a 1-yard touchdown pass to Lincoln Moore; giving the Bulldogs a 6-0 lead. The Bulldogs added to the lead with 0:36 left in the second quarter as Blythe connected with Sam Squyres on a 12-yard touchdown. Blythe passed to Moore giving the Bulldogs a 14-0 lead. The Wildcats made a game of it as they scored with 4:13 left in the quarter to cut the bulldog lead to 14-8. The Bulldogs scored with 6:48 left in the game to make the final score 20-8. The final touchdown came on a 17-yard run by Semaj Booth. Next week, the Bulldogs will travel to Elysian Fields to open district play.

JV

The final game of the night was the Bulldog Junior Varsity taking on the Wildcats. The Bulldogs struggled throughout the game unable to sustain a drive. They were plagued with turnovers and penalties losing to the wildcats 14-0. With the loss, the JV Bulldogs’ record falls to 2-2.
