Skyline Eats Garfield’s Lunch
By Colin Caruso

Memorial Stadium was a great site for this KingCo matchup between the Skyline Spartans and the Garfield Bulldogs. The home Bulldogs brought a good amount of noise, but couldn’t match their fans intensity on the field. The first six minutes of the contest saw a fumbling brigade from both teams. The Spartans received and fumbled on their second play from scrimmage. Garfield then fumbled the ball on the next play of the game, and Skyline drove down and scored their first TD on a Kilton Anderson QB keeper to take the lead 7-0. Garfield received the ensuing kick, and fumbled on their next offensive play. Two plays from scrimmage for the Bulldogs, and both resulted in fumbles. Skyline recovered the ball deep in Garfield territory, presumably ready to punch in another touchdown, but they fumbled on their next play and Garfield recovered! Four turnovers, two from each side, in the first 6 minutes of the game!

Garfield punted after recovering Skyline’s second fumble and Spartan Elijah Nichols returned it 72 yards to go up 14-0 halfway through the first quarter. Garfield then fumbled the kickoff (too many fumbles, in my opinion) and Skyline recovered deep in Garfield territory. Chandler Wong rushed the ball in for Skyline 3 plays later to take the lead 21-0, still in the first quarter. Anderson would hook up with Wong once more prior to the first quarter end, on a 4 yard TD pass, to take a 28-0 lead.

At this point the game was in hand, and the next three quarters of play saw just 20 points total. Garfield did end up getting on the board in the fourth quarter with a QB keeper from Winfred Roberson, to cut the Spartan lead to 34. But that was too little too late, as the Spartans rolled 41-7.
