GARFIELD OVERCOMES SLOW START

GARRETTSVILLE OH- The first half didn’t go quite as planned on Saturday night for Garfield. In a steady rain the G-Men found themselves down 13-7 at halftime. It would take almost the whole 3rd quarter for the G-Men to retake the lead. A touchdown and extra point gave them a 14-13 lead at the end of the 3rd. After the G-Men wore down Sandy Valley scoring two more times in the final frame to come away with a 28-13 win. Garfield ran 35 plays in the second half compared to Sandy Valley’s 16. The G-Men used that advantage to out gain them 182 to 17 in the half.

The G-Men advance to the next round of the OHSAA playoffs to play Bellaire who beat Crestview 27-20. That game will be at Garfield Saturday at 7:00.
