Warriors Drop First Football Game Of Season

Froid/Lake and Brockton started their football seasons with a six-man battle in Medicine Lake on Saturday, Aug. 30. The Red Hawks emerged with a 54-13 conference victory.

The Red Hawks accounted for the game’s first big play when Owen Logan recovered a fumble at the Brockton 19. Froid/Lake reached the end zone on a nine-yard pass from Rylan Young to Cody Olson.

The Warriors responded by driving deep inside Froid/Lake territory behind the running and passing of Ronnie Black Dog. Brockton, however, was stopped on a fourth-and-six play.

Froid/Lake’s Eddie Orozco then broke loose for a 39-yard touchdown dash to put the margin at 14-0 with 6:31 left in the opening quarter.

The Warriors then marched as deep as the Froid/Lake 10, but the Red Hawks’ defense stepped up on plays by Teagan Fossum, Carsen Kelm and Orozco. After an interception by Olson near midfield, the Red Hawks increased their lead to 22-0 on an 11-yard run by Aaron Orozco with 6:56 remaining in the half.

The Red Hawks’ next touchdown came on a 43yard interception return by E. Orozco. The difference became 34-0 on a 30-yard dash by E. Orozco with 4:16 left in the second period.

Brockton got on the scoreboard when a tipped pass from Black Dog was caught by Sonni Owns Pipe for a 10yard scoring play.

A quick pass from Young to Kelm resulted in a 20-yard touchdown play to put the Red Hawks up 40-6 at the half.

Froid/Lake increased its lead to 54-6 on a 47-yard touchdown run by E. Orozco and a 76-yard touchdown run by A. Orozco.

Brockton scored the game’s last touchdown on a 43-yard run by Josh Firemoon. A conversion pass from Firemoon to Tefton Bear produced the 54-13 final margin.
