Cavemen 2 & 0 after 28-7 Victory over Westview
The Grants Pass Cavemen scored early and came away with their 2nd win of the season 28 to 7 over the Westview Wildcats Friday night.
The Wildcats elected to receive to start the game and their first possession began just outside their 30-yard line and in their first series the Cavemen intercepted a pass and brought it back to the 9-yard line. A handoff to Treyton Powers ended with a touchdown and a 6-to-nothing lead with 10:13 left in the first quarter.
The Wildcats second possession ended with a fumble inside their own territory and again the Cavemen drove it to the 10-yard line where Aaron Hart hit Cam Holland with a touchdown pass to make the score 12 to nothing. A handoff to Powers again resulted in a 2-point conversion and at 5:18 left in the first quarter Grants Pass led 14 to nothing.
Another rush from Powers from 16 yards out in the 2nd quarter made the score 21-0 at the half. Grants Pass added one more score in the 3rd period on a quarterback sneak that was good for at three yards and a 28 to nothing lead. The Wildcats scored on a one yard run late in the fourth period with time running out.
