Eastlake North has definitely come a long way comparing this team to last year’s team.
The Rangers are 2-3 and one of those three losses was an extremely close game.
On September 18, the Rangers fell to the Riverside Beavers in an intense overtime. At the start of the first half, Riverside came close to taking control of the game, but North stepped up, defense pushing harder than ever. At halftime, it was 16-3 Riverside, but in the start of the third quarter North pushed it to 16-10. They were still in the game.
“It was intense. We started off a little slow…” Wide receiver Tyler Dodd says of the game.
Intense may be an understatement. Fans from both sides were on their feet the whole fourth quarter, cheering as loud as they could. With a triumphant atmosphere, the Rangers led the Beavers in the fourth quarter 24-16. Sadly, the Rangers couldn’t hang with them in overtime and fell to a disappointing loss, 30-24.
“I don’t know, we didn’t let it bother us much, but it was rough after those two losses.” Senior running back Kenny Uzarevic says.
Eastlake North goes on to play their biggest game of the year week 6.
