Braves fall short to nondistrict opponent

by Bryan Stanford
The Montezuma Braves’ Junior Varsity football team continued to get better and gain experience as they faced a tough Williamsburg Raider team in the 43-22 loss Monday, Oct. 11. 
The Williamsburg team was big in size for being all freshmen and they had some great athletes, but the Braves did not back down one bit. The Braves fell behind early, 0-12, but responded with some nice scoring drives to end the first half down only 20-16. 
In the second half, the junior varsity squad competed every single play with great effort and energy. 
Defensively, the Braves responded well to the no-huddle hurry-up offense that the Raiders ran the entire second half. That is something hard to prepare for and the boys hung in there and continued to make plays. 
Coach Keith Sietstra commented,  “As a coaching staff, we were really pleased to see the guys come out and fly around and tonight, even though on the short end of the scoreboard again, we definitely got better.” After the loss, the junior varsity record fell to 2-4 on the season.
