DEFENSE TOOK CENTER STAGE IN THE FIRST HALF OF FRIDAY’S SEASON OPENER FOR THE BRADSHAW MOUNTAIN FOOTBALL TEAM. THE BEARS AND LAST YEAR’S STATE RUNNERS-UP SNOWFLAKE MANAGED JUST ONE TOUCHDOWN A PIECE BEFORE HALFTIME. BRADSHAW, HOWEVER, HAD THE 9-7 ADVANTAGE GOING INTO THE LOCKER ROOM THANKS TO A SAFETY. THE BEARS THEN HAD A 16-14 LEAD OVER THE LOBOS IN THE FOURTH QUARTER WHEN THEY GOT A TOUCHDOWN AND A TWO-POINT CONVERSION TO EXTEND THAT LEAD. THE BEARS HELD ON THE REST OF THE WAY FOR THE 24-14 TRIUMPH. 

GABE RICKETTS, LAST YEAR’S GRAND CANYON REGION OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR, PICKED UP WHERE HE LEFT OFF AS HE HAD TWO TOUCHDOWN RUNS. JORDAN KELLEY ALSO HAD A TOUCHDOWN. RYLAN OSBJORNSON AND KYLIN JACKSON BOTH HAD INTERCEPTIONS. 

THIS COMING FRIDAY, BRADSHAW MOUNTAIN IS HOME VERSUS CANYON DEL ORO.
