The Orange Grove Bulldogs lost to Banquete last Friday night by a score of 28-20. Our Bulldogs played hard to overcome the 28 point deficit, and in spite of the loss, there were several performances that warranted highlight status. Here are this week’s players or plays of the week.

Offensive Lineman

Junior--
Garrett New   takes the top honor again this week. His solid play inside is a big reason for any offensive success. Here, he registers the coveted “pancake” block.

Special Teams Player
Senior--Cody Gomez had two plays that got him this week's honor. First his successful fake punt was a momentum grabber that continued the Bulldogs' scoring drive. The second was a “heads up” play on the punt return team that caught Banquete napping and gave OG great field position to stage a “come back”.

Defensive Lineman

Junior Defensive Tackle--Bryce Osborne “makes the list” again this week. He led the D-Line with 9 tackles, two for a loss, and he also registered this sack. 

 

Momentum Play

Even though the Bulldogs didn’t win this week, Senior Linebacker Josiah Thurman’s fumble recovery and score stole Banquete’s momentum early in the game and was the break OG was looking for to get on track.

 

Defensive Back

Senior Linebacker--
Jessie Salas
gets on the board this week. He led the team with 12 tackles on the night, but it was this hit on the Banquete QB that sparked the OG fans and sideline.

Offensive Back

Senior Tailback, Trey Porras is this week’s “back of the week”.  He scored a touchdown and had a big pass reception just before the half, but it was his fakes and blocking that pushed him over the top for the vote.
