With last week’s game behind them, the Gobblers traveled to La Vernia to take on the Bears. “It’s on to the next one for us. We understand what type of team we just played and what kind of game we just played. We just gotta have a short-term memory and just use it for what it is and get ready for the next,” said receiver coach, Tre’Vontae Hights, entering Friday night’s contest. He added, “I think we can be a lot better protecting the ball and executing in the redzone” The Gobblers offense was much more efficient Friday night, finishing the night with over 300 yards total offense, 5 touchdowns, and 0 turnovers, while defeating the La Vernia Bears 3528. The Gobblers defense came out strong, with sacks from Aiden Stafford and Kason Roy, to go along with fumble recoveries by Roy and Barrett Smith on the 1st three Bear possessions. The second Bear turnover, from inside their own 10, set up the Gobblers’ first score of the night, a 2 yard plunge from Jace Gamez.
The Bears offense then got on the board, with a seven yard touchdown pass to Logan Maytum, with 1:25 left in the first. The quarter would end tied 7-7.
On the second play of the second quarter, the Gobblers would take the lead right back. Quarterback Jaxxon Marie would find Walker Dietze on a 24-yard touchdown pass, making the score 14-7.
