Daw Middle School Wins Season Opener




Wednesday - August 25: The Daw Middle School Football team opened their 2010 season with a hard fought win against the visiting Jackson Milton Blue Jays. The Blue Jays were the first to cross the goal line in yesterday's game. With 2:15 left in the 1st quarter they took the ball to pay dirt. The extra point attempt failed.

In the 2nd quarter the Tigers knotted it all up at the 6:16 mark with Vinny Giordano (#41) carrying the pig skin into the end zone. Passing for two on the extra point conversion the ball feel short of the receiver. That was all the scoring until very late in the 4th quarter.

It looked like it was going into over-time. With less than a minute left on the clock the Jackson Milton QB dropped back into the end zone for a pass. With just 3.2 seconds left in the game he got nailed by Justin Cameron (#3) to score the safety giving the Orange & Black the go ahead. Final score: Wellsville 8 - Jackson Milton 6.

Nice game Wellsville. We liked the heads up play and the holes the line opened for the runners. The Daw Middle School team returns to action next Thursday, September 2 at 5 P.M. hosting the Crestview Rebels.
