Montezuma’s 7th grade football team picked up another win for the season after a well-fought game against Iowa Valley on Sept. 29th.
The beginning of the game was a bit rough for the Braves; the team was slow starting out, giving Iowa Valley a chance to complete a touchdown. However, the setback only served to motivate the young athletes.
“Being down 6-0 and giving up points for the first time all year really upset this group,” said Coach Timm. “They fired up after that and really controlled the game on both sides of the ball.”
It was all uphill for the Braves after that. Carson Losure scored to tie the game, and Shane Helm ran in the 2-point conversion. Losure later made a second touchdown for the Braves on a 55-yard punt return, though the conversion was ruled no good. Logan Price added a third touchdown to the total, with Losure following up on the 2-point conversion, which left the final score reading 22-6.
Losure also made six tackles within the game, with two for a loss, along with teammates Matthew Baker and Helm following suit with two tackles for a loss. Dominique Ward also had a sack for the Braves.
“We work really well as a team,” said player Ryan Thompson.
This game brought the 7th grade season record to 3-0.
