WAKEFIELD – We had high school football on 107.9 The Bull Thursday night. Guardian Angels Central Catholic lost on the road to Wakefield 36-22.
Wakefield held an 8-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.
GACC started the second frame with a five-plus minute drive that ended on a four-yard run by Cash Meier to tie the game at 8-8.
The Trojans returned the ensuing kickoff for a score however, going back up 14-8. But the Bluejays used another long drive, capped off by a 24-yard scoring pass from Coy Kreikemeier to Jaryn Smeal, putting GACC up 16-14.
Wakefield would answer right back though, as they took a 22-16 lead into halftime.
GACC got the ball to start the second half and scored on its first possession, a one-yard sneak by Kreikemeier, and the game was tied at 22-22.
Wakefield outscored the Bluejays 14-0 in the fourth quarter to make up the final score.
Kreikemeier was 8-17 passing for 110 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
Nate Niewohner rushed the ball 13 times for 71 yards.
Meier made 14 tackles while Cody Steffen and Smeal had 12 and 9, respectively.
GACC had 242 yards of total offense, including 132 rushing.
The Bluejays played well for a while, but just weren't quite able to finish in the end.
Next up for GACC (0-1), they host Lourdes Central Catholic (0-1) this coming Friday.
The Knights fell 56-30 at home to Falls City Sacred Heart in their season opener.
It's a battle of two teams coming off losses to very good opponents.
Both teams will be hungry and anxious for that first win no doubt.
I think the game being in Beemer is an advantage for the Bluejays, but things won't be easy and figure to be tough.
GACC has to be tough up front, and make more plays on offense and clean up their special teams.
Some things for the Bluejays to work on for sure, but nothing they can't manage and/or overcome.
I look for GACC to bounce back in a big way this week and play well on Friday.
Let's hope the Coronavirus Pandemic doesn't alter or affect things this week.
