Week 8: OG v. West Oso

The Orange Grove Bulldogs gave their fans an exciting victory Friday night here at home. After a slow start, they came from behind twice to tie the game 14 all with just under four minutes to play. In overtime, junior Garrett New kicked his first career kick through the up-rights for a 29 yard field goal and the victory. The Bulldog defense turned in their best performance of the year, holding West Oso to just five first downs and 14 points on the night. There were several big plays that tilted the game in the Bulldog’s favor. Here are a few.  ~Coach Hall

Offensive Lineman

Junior Quick Guard Garrett New had a
big night. His trap blocks paved the way for the
 two scoring drives in the fourth quarter.

Special Teams Player

 This one was a little easier to decide. On fourth down in overtime, Junior placekicker, Garrett New stepped up for his first ever kick attempt and nailed a 29 yard field goal to win the game.

Defensive Lineman

Senior Josh Fuhrken
is this week’s key player again. On a night when the whole defense shined,
it was his big tackles for losses that got him the vote.

Momentum Play

The Bulldogs didn’t give their fans much to cheer about when they had the ball until Senior Punt-Return man Cody Gomez took this kick back deep into Bear territory to set up O.G.’s first score.

 

Defensive Back

Senior Free Safety
Kelton Craven
knocked away these
two key passes and
played the run equally
well all night for this
week’s vote.

Offensive Back

Senior Fullback Andrew Garza led the team in
rushing yards. But this
long run to set up O.G.’s second touchdown got
him this week’s vote.
