It was an exciting Homecoming game on Friday night, with a large fired-up crowd for the matchup between the Doniphan-Trumbull Cardinals and the Bearcats. The Cardinals came out with the win, beating the Bearcats 22-18 in a close, hard-fought game.
The Bearcats struck first with 2:47 to go in the first quarter on a two-yard run by Gloystein but missed the extra point. The Cardinals answered with a second-quarter TD and converted the extra point, putting the Bearcats behind 6-8. With only 2:10 left in the half, Gloystein scored on a 70-yard interception. The Bearcats failed on their 2-point conversion and led 12-8 before the Cardinals took the lead in the final seconds of the half, but they didn’t convert on their 2-point attempt.
At halftime, the score was 12-14, and both the Bearcats and Cardinals were scoreless in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the Cardinals scored on a 6-yard pass and made their two-point conversion to take a 22-12 lead. With 4:02 to go in the game, the Bearcats scored on a seven-yard run by L. Rojewski but couldn’t convert for the extra two points.
The Bearcats had a few chances near the end, but the Cardinals stopped their offense.
After the win, the Cardinals improved to 2-5, and the Bearcats are 1-6 and will play the Wilbur Wolverines away next Friday.
