Too little, too late for the Cards

The Garner-Hayfield-Ventura Cardinal’s (7-3, 5-1), playoff run came to an end Wednesday night, Oct. 28, when they faced a consistent New Hampton Chickasaw (5-6, 3-3) offense. Late in the game the Cardinals offense rolled and its defense stood firm, but it came too late in the game to make a difference, as the Chickasaw’s had the 26-6 advantage as the final buzzer sounded.

The slow, grinding Cardinal run game eventually became its Achille’s heel as the team struggled to make the game’s final minutes count despite a working offense and stout defense.
