GACC picks up first win of year over Omaha Brownell Talbot











The Guardian Angels Central Catholic Football Team won 74-16 at Omaha Brownell Talbot on Friday, September 13th.

The Bluejays led 46-0 at the end of one and 52-0 at halftime.

GACC doubled up the Raiders 16-8 in the 3rd quarter to go up 68-8 at the end of three.

Omaha Brownell Talbot won the 4th quarter 8-6.

Cody Steffen had 103 yards rushing on 3 carries with three touchdowns. Noah Hass ran the ball 5 times for 101 yards and scored twice. Coy Kreikemeier had 99 yards rushing on 8 carries, and scored once. Nate Niewohner had 57 yards on the ground on 5 carries, and scored once.

Jaryn Smeal made 7 tackles.

GACC had 482 yards of total offense, including 470 rushing.

The defense allowed just 148 yards of total offense, including 126 on the ground.

That's more like it for the Bluejays.

GACC (1-2) travels to Wisner Friday night to take on the Gators (3-0).

Wisner-Pilger won 57-7 at Madison last week.

The Gators beat East Butler 20-14 on the road while the Bluejays lost to the Tigers at home in Week 1, 30-20.

That was early though, and if GACC plays the way they did last week they can definitely beat the Gators.

Wisner-Pilger had the Bluejays on the ropes last year though, and might be a stronger team than they were a year ago while GACC might not be as good as they were last year.

The Bluejays appeared to have figured out their running game last Friday night though.

Now GACC just has to get the passing game going and they will be golden.

The Bluejays will come ready to play you know that much.

This is a huge game for District purposes, and could go a long ways in determining who wins the District, or at least gets second.

GACC isn't used to play for consolation prizes though and I don't think the Bluejays want to learn how now.

GACC wants to win championships and titles and the Bluejays played last week like a team that can definitely do it.

The win may not have been over a big name team, but if GACC can knock off Wisner-Pilger then they will be back on track, in my opinion.

This is a huge game for the Bluejays, and one GACC really needs to find a way to win.

The Gators are a tough team though, and it won't be easy for the Blue and White to come away with the win.

Bottomline though is GACC has to find a way to get the job done.

If the Bluejays don't get this one then a District Title may not be in the cards this year and GACC would most likely be 2-3 heading into the Wakefield game.

The Bluejays really need this one to continue to turnaround their season after an uncharacteristic start out of the gate.
