Rangers WIN!               Rangers WIN!             Rangers WIN!

What a great night for the Rangers! First win of the year came in a battle against the Normans of Beverly Hills. The first play from scrimmage for the Rangers was an interception that the Normans took to the house for a touchdown. We could have laid down and quit…but we didn’t! Instead we got the ensuing kick off and drove it 70 yards and ate up 7 minutes to score and make the game 7-6 Rangers. The score remained that until the end of the first half. After a timely halftime speech we hit the field and didn’t look back. the Rangers ripped off four touchdowns including a blocked punt by Ethane sunder and recovered by Anthoney Rodriguez for a touchdown.

I couldn’t be more happier with the way we responded, we talk about our character and our will to play four quarters. We did that, Parker Johnsen had one of those games that wasn’t going his way in the first half going 2-5 for 25 yards and 3 interceptions. Normally you don’t win football games with three interceptions but our Defense kept us in the game only allowing the Normans a few first downs. Johnsen came out in the second half and accepted the challenge. Johnsen threw for 132 yards, 2 passing TD’s and 1 Rushing TD, longest pass was 52 yards and 3 INT. Jake Perry was a machine running the ball 29 time for 128 yards and 1 TD. Our Players of the game were Devon Page, Jake Perry, Ethane Sunder, and Anthoney Rodriguez.
