by Elizabeth Ostrem and Kayla Werner

On September 13^th, the Montezuma Junior High football team started the season off with a win and a loss against BGM.

The 8^th grade was first to take the field. Despite their efforts, the game ended with the final score of 22-0, BGM’s favor. 

However, the Braves had some very encouraging moments throughout the match, such as a 30-yard pass play from Brody Mckeag to Travis Lewis.

“I felt like we were in the game the whole time,” said Coach Anderson. “This 8^th grade team will continue to work and continue to get better.”

The 7^th grade managed to turn things around with a 19-0 win. Three touchdowns by Carson Losure, with one punt return of 48 yards, were a big help in winning. 

Additionally, by a group effort, the team was able to keep BGM out of the end zone, further sealing the Braves’ victory.

Coach Anderson said, “We are a little deeper with the 7^th grade class, so we can get more kids in and out. It really showed tonight, as our defense was able to make a bunch of big plays throughout the game.”
