Friday night football featured an incredible fall evening with Houghton showcasing the band and the elementary choir for senior night.The Gladstone Braves rolled into town, looking to spoil the fall festivities, but the Gremlins had other plans in mind.
The game saw both teams battle defensively, with Gladstone possessing the ball for long drives. However, each time they got near the endzone, the Gremlins defense held strong early in the first quarter. About midway in the first, Gladstone was able to score off of a turnover by the Gremlins. In the second quarter, the Gremlins were able to respond with Roth scoring a touchdown. The Gremlins trailed at the half 6-7.
Just like the weekend was forecasted to be red hot, the Gremlins came out in the second half to match, scoring a touchdown in the 3rd putting the Gremlins up 12-7.
The rest of the game saw a tug of war against both defenses, with Gladstone possessing the ball once again for most of the game. However, time and again as Gladstone neared the end zone, the Gremlins defense stood tall and kept them scoreless to win the game on senior night for coach Luoma's Gremlins.
Thank you to all the seniors for your hard work and dedication, and thank you to your parents for countless hours of driving, cheering and unwavering support.
