Caldwell Hands Middleton First Loss!

Congratulations to the 8th grade football team for their thrilling 16-6 victory over previously unbeaten Middleton last night. After giving up a score on the Vikings first possession the Cougars shut them out the rest of the way including four goal line stops, a total of 16 plays inside the 10 yard line without yielding a score. The Cougars took the lead for good in the second quarter when Alex Sauceda hit Josh Martinez with a 62 yard pass and Jose Campos hit the 2-point kick for the 8-6 lead. With 4 minutes remaining Gabe Hernandez batted a Viking pass that Miguel Perez intercepted and returned 60 yards to the Viking 10. The Cougars scored on a 5 yard run by Michael Pickens and Campos added the 2-point kick for the 10 point victory.
ONE TEAM ONE DREAM. " I have never been more proud of team for competing with pure heart with their backs against the goal line FOUR times! We are 4-0 Congrats!" -Coach B. Harrison
