The second quarter was a defensive battle with the opposing Red Devils. Cole Ritchie did break away with a TD run that was called back.

The Red Devil C Team returned after half time only to battle to score twice and have them overturned on penalties. The C Team defense remained tight, not allowing the opposing Devils past our 30-yard line. It has been quite a few years since any Calhoun Youth Football defense has shut out any opposing team.

The game was very exciting for fans and players being the first C Team win in recent years. Congratulations, Calhoun C Team!

The A Team lost to Ravenswood, the final score was Calhoun 12 - Ravenswood 42.
