GHV takes to the air to overcome FC

Published by admin on Wed, 09/21/2016 - 4:33pm

In a game that showcased two very good defenses, it was the ability to adapt that resulted in a Garner-Hayfield-Ventura (4-0, 2-0) win over the Forest City Indians (1-3, 0-2).

Known for their fondness of – and proficiency at – running the football, the Cardinals knew something needed to change when a packed-in Indian defense successfully clogged their running lanes. GHV then began to successfully pass the ball. Unable to find an answer, Forest City fell to the undefeated Cardinals, 15-14.
