Ready, Set, Go! High
School football season is underway as Octorara earned a win in their first game
of the season defeating home team Fleetwood 38-15 Friday night.
Octorara’s Braves tamed the Tigers by forcing them to commit
four turnovers.
Braves quarterback Danny Solomon passed for 205 yard having
3 passing TDs. He also scored 1 rushing TD.
Running back Chucky Cooper rushed for over 100 yard on eight
carry with 2 TD.
Receivers Mitch King had 7 receptions for 70 yards and a
receiving TD and James Brown had 3 receptions for 65 yards and a receiving TD.
Octorara’s defense caused 3 interceptions (King, Brown and
Chad Ferguson) and forced the Fleetwood’s offense into a scramble format.
Coach King said, “ It was a good win showing off the many
weapons we have, but we also made a lot of mistake missing tackles and failing
to run the ball between the tackles”.
We got our work cut out for us facing a power running attack
this week against Big Spring. Octorara
was out-gained by Fleetwood 400 to 383 in Total Yardage yards according to the
Reading Eagle.
The Braves remain on the road next week with a visit to Big
Spring High School and their power running attack in Newville, PA, just outside
of Carlisle.
