GJHS football

Greensburg Junior High School football teams finally got to play a home game this week as Triton Central came to town Tuesday.

The Pirates eighth grade had a defensive battle on their hands as the score was tied for most of the game 6-6 until the last few minutes when the Pirates stopped a drive inside the 5-yard line with an interception by Matthew Fields.

The young Pirates had a miscue at the goal as the snap sailed out of the end zone for a safety and gave the Tigers an 8-6. On the ensuing free kick, the Tigers found space down the sidelines for a returned score to put them up 14-6. The Pirates did not give up and had very little clock to work with, but were able to make the ending exciting as Mathew Fields hit a streaking Max Buening for a long gain up to mid-field where the faster Tigers caught up and knocked the ball loose. The Tigers ran out the clock to finish the game as victors 14-6.

The defensive was led by Fields with two interceptions and Carson Beagle with one. Josh Alexander had two tackles for loss.

Offensively, the Pirates scored early with a pass to Alexander out of the backfield to open the scoring, but Tigers held the Pirates at bay the rest of the evening. Fields threw for 184 yards on passes to Buening, Alexander, Mason Herpel and Chance Richards.

Bentley Sageser led the Pirates on the ground with an outstanding night rushing for 158 yards on 10 attempts and two touchdowns.

Aaden Dolan finished the scoring with a 2-point conversion receiving from Chance Westerfeld to seal the victory.

Outstanding contributions on the defensive side of the ball were Dolan, Luke Stier, Daelyn Bandy, Jai Jackson, Gavin Keller, Westerfeld, Westyn Lewis, Sageser, Esdras Mejia and Ethan Bennett.
