Cardinal freight train back on track
The Garner-Hayfield-Ventura
Cardinals (5-1, 3-0) overpowered the
Osage Green Devils (3-3, 1-3) with a
physical display of defense and a de-
termined run game in a 31-13 win.
The Cardinals opened the game
with a slow offensive start, not gaining the Cards mere feet from the goal to
an inch after their nine-yard return.
Osage followed up with an at-
tempt to convert on fourth down, but
was stopped short by a Jack VanDus-
seldorp sack.
GHV was first on the board when
the impending drive went the length
of the field in true grind-ball fashion.
fensive play with a touchdown to cap
it off. He found the endzone on a
one-yard rush.
After keeping the drive alive with
a fake-punt-pass play from deep in
their own territory, Osage made their
way down the field, matching GHV’s
touchdown with one of their own.
The PAT was good to end the first
quarter, 7-7.
A series of three-and-outs came
to an end when the Cards found their
rhythm once again. Consistent gains

With seconds left on the clock,
GHV was again within 10-yards of
the end zone, but a holding penalty
proved too much to overcome, leaving
close the half with a 12-7 lead.
The Cardinals kicked off to the
home team to open the second half.
Tight defense had GHV rolling once
again. A monster pickup from Shaw
set up a Harley Forry touchdown to
get things rolling.
