Reeds Spring got the 2018 season off on a good note, with a 52-32 victory over Nevada at Carl Langley Field.
The Wolves struggled with mistakes in the first half and the Tigers were able to take advantage. Reeds Spring fumbled on their first drive and Nevada went into their bag of tricks and pulled out a half back pass for a touchdown on their first play from scrimmage.
Reeds Spring was able to answer when Blake Gronvold found Cole Watson, for the first time, on a 18 yard scoring strike. But, the joy was short lived as Kaden Denney returned the ensuing kickoff 95 yards for the score.
The teams went back in forth for the first half. Reeds Spring led 20-18 at the break. But, that is where things would turnaround for the Wolves.
The third quarter would totally belong to Reeds Spring. This time it was the Wolves that would force mistakes and take advantage of them. The Wolves would score FIVE times in the third quarter, alone, to put the game on ice.
Colton Cramblett getting his first start at fullback would score on runs of 16 and 24 yards. And Cole Watson and Blake Gronvold would hook up for their third and fourth touchdown connections of the game. When the smoke had cleared the home team had marched out to a 52-18 lead.
Reeds Spring would substitute liberally in the fourth quarter and the Tigers would add two scores to get back to within the 52-32 final.
Seth Stamps went well over the century mark and found the endzone twice. The Reeds Spring running game ran for nearly 400 yards on the night and the FOUR TD receptions puts Cole Watson’s name in the school record books.
Wolves will travel to Seneca next Friday.. If you can’t make it make sure to tune to 100.1 for the action.
