The home opener for the JV Greyhounds was nothing less than an exciting action packed game by both teams. The Mustangs of Clio came from a ways away and found themselves down 22-0 midway through the 2nd quarter. However, the resiliency of this Clio team found themselves only down by 8 points at the half. Once the teams found the field again, they traded third quarter touchdowns making it 28-20 before entering a chess match on defense that saw the last 14+ minutes of the game go back and forth with neither team able to find the end-zone. The final drive of the game saw the Mustangs marching down the field on the ground but ultimately they couldn't get past the Greyhounds 35 yard line before time expired as they were trying to get the ball off. 

The JV Hounds offense was charged by the play of Keegan Gochenour (Freshman QB) who accounted for 161 Yards and 2 of the Hounds Touchdowns through the air, finding Carvontae Sheppard (Sophmore WR) on a 28 Yard Pass and Tristan Cataline (Sophmore WR) on a 50 Yard Pass. Hayden Hendrickson (Freshman HB) was a workhorse on the ground carrying the ball 18 times for 52 yards and having the ball find him through the air a team high of 4 times for 76 yards. Marvin Deh (Junior WR) entered the game on offense in the 3rd quarter for his only touch of the day to go 85 yards to the house on the ground while breaking a ridiculous amount of tackles before breaking into open grass. The offense was not lacking the big plays tonight and kept the crowd excited most of the night.

The defense found early success and ultimately hunkered down to stop the "what could've been" game tying drive at the end of the game. However while forcing 4 Fumbles early in the game, along with 3 Unforced Fumbles by the Clio offense, they were certainly helped out tonight by their aggressive nature and lock down, resilient attitude. 

Both offense and defense have looked good for the JV Hounds thus far in the season, but it's still early and there is a tough away test coming up with the Portland Raiders next Thursday. This will likely prove to be the toughest matchup for them thus far but it's sure to be an exciting game. We welcome you all to join us on Thursday, September 8th in Portland to see if these JV Hounds can continue their undefeated streak as they once again try to go (1-0).
