Briggs School -

Football recap! The Briggs Braves 5th/6th football team fell to Zion 32 to 8 on Thursday night. Despite 2 promising drives early, the Braves came away empty handed and trailed 24-0 after the 1st QT. Zion went up 32-0 by the half. Alex Ryals scored on a TD pass from Si Smith. Alex Ryals added the 2 point play to finish the scoring at 32-8. Hardnose plays were made by Robert Vann, Logan Ryals, and Josh Meigs. The 7-8th grade football got their biggest win in the last few years to improve their record to 3-1. It looked like it was going to be a long night as Zion ran 60 yards to go up 8-0 24 seconds in. Then the Braves marched 52 yards on a 10 play drive as Jevan Dick zipped in on a sprint out pass at quarterback. Then added the 2 point on another QB keeper to tie it all up at 8-8. The rest of the game was a dogfight. Briggs held Zion on downs at the 10. The Braves were held and had to punt. The Jets regained the lead as the snap sailed over the punter's head to give Zion a safety and a 10-8 lead going into the half. The second half was a defensive struggle. Both teams punted and each threatened to score. Briggs' hero of the day was Jevan Dick as he caught a 40 yard touchdown catch to give Briggs a 14-10 lead with just over 3 minutes left, that would stand. Great defensive effort by Aiden Walker, Brenden Holden, the Rose Twins, Reese Carpenter, and HighEagle Pratt. Offensively, the line played lights out. Congratulations to the Rose Twins, Logan Dreadfulwater, Gavyn Walker, and HighEagle Pratt. Jevan Dick now has 5 TDs on the year. Layne Morgan now has 7 TD passes on the year. Great job Braves!!!
