Last night, GV Football played our second game of the season, beginning our Central League schedule. We were supposed to travel to Conestoga, but in the aftermath of the power outages, flooding, and water supply problems that came with the tail end of Hurricane Ida, it was moved to a GV home game due to issues with the Conestoga field and facilities.
The final score was GV 55, Conestoga 14. Our quarterback, Max Busenkell, had an outstanding game, especially given that we run the ball almost exclusively, completing 12 of 13 passes for 165 yards and 3 TDs (by halftime). That makes him 15 for 18 for over 300 yards and 6 TDs in two games...
Part of this air attack may have been caused by our star running back Shane Reynolds leaving the game after just a few plays with a sprained ankle. News after the games was good: low ankle sprain, no fractures, and expected to miss maybe 3 weeks.
From a pure football perspective, we are 2-0 with a combined score of 96-21. From a band parent's perspective, we play "When the Saints Go Marching In" for every GV score (TD, Field Goal or Safety), and after 2 games we have played "Saints" a total of 15 times (14 TDs and 1 Safety).
Go Jags!
