Red Cloud Prevails at Little Wound’s Homecoming

By Scott Two Bulls '14

12-6! This was the final score of the game last Friday at Little Wound. The Crusaders came onto the field flat. All the players were very tired and felt very lazy before kick-off. Because of this, the Little Wound Mustangs struck first. At the end of the first quarter, the score was 6-0. The score remained until the fourth quarter when the Crusaders finally came alive. The Crusaders finally got a touchdown with a run by senior Bailey Pourier. The game was tied at 6-6 after a failed 2-point conversion by the Saders.

   

This game was dominated by defense by both sides. Once Red Cloud saw some opportunities they were able to score another touchdown with another run by Bailey Pourier. After that touchdown, the defenses dominated every offensive drive. On one play Little Wound quarterback Jeremiah Hopkins took a snap and attempted to run to the outside where he met a few Crusaders. Jeremiah tried to overpower the defenders but he was stopped behind the line of scrimmage. There were five seconds left in the game. Little Wound tried to throw a Hail Mary but it was intercepted by Marco Starr and the game ended.

The Crusaders are now 4-3 and are riding a three game winning streak. They close out their regular season today by hosting the Todd County Falcons.
