Garner-Hayfield-Ventura (6-1,
4-0) put on a commanding display of
rushing prowess and defensive apti-
tude en route to defeating the Esther-
ville-Lincoln Central Midgets (1-6,
1-4) by a score of 41-14. Two Cardi-
nal running backs finished with over
100 yards rushing while holding the
Midgets to 202 yards of total offense.
The game began with a flurry of
hustle on both sides of the ball for
the red and black. After two downs
of offense, the Midgets fumbled and
turned over the ball on the inaugural
drive.
It took the Cards a single down
to find the end zone when Cade Baker
trucked through a sea of Midgets and
picked up a touchdown.

good for two more.
Another three and out from

following play helped the Cardinals to

Prohaska kept it for the PAT attempt,

it themselves. In what amounted
