The Senators washed into Don Garrett stadium confidently expectant of a Friday night victory. Englewood stood strong and mighty prepared to lock horns with the Senators on their own turf. The much-anticipated battle began with Englewood’s running back Jordan Mitchell headed towards a strong run but was suddenly stopped by Fletcher’s defensive lineman Hunter May. Unbeknownst to Englewood, Fletcher’s defense would continue to bully the Rams offense for the remainder of the game. #6 Jeremiah Payton would put Fletcher on the scoreboard with the first touchdown of the evening bouncing the score to 7-0. Englewood’s failed attempt to make a run resulted in a second touchdown by the Senators #22 Treveous Johnson. Unfortunately, the run was called back due to a flag on the play. Apparently, the prior call did not agree with Treveous Johnson because he would come back to make a big statement on the field by scoring a touchdown run at the end of the first intensifying the score to 13-0.

The Senators brought the same momentum from the first half of the game into the beginning of the third. The smell of grilled hotdogs filled the air and the crowd gasped in awe while #7 Mike Baskins scored the only touchdown run in the third quarter resulting in a 41-7 score. The Rams stood their ground preventing the Senators from scoring anymore runs for the remainder of the third. The score was 41-7 Fletcher in the third quarter. Englewood’s obvious tension branded the beginning of the fourth, the Rams had lost all hopes of a win. #21 Tyler McDonald struck a blowing touchdown running waves through the Englewood defense at the end of the fourth. Fletcher opted out of the extra point which resulted in the 47-7 win.
Fletcher improves to ( 3-0) on the season while Englewood falls to (1-2 ). Englewood travels to Middleburg(0-2) to try to get back to their winning ways. The Senators will face their toughest test of the season next week, as they host the class 4A State Champion Raines Vikings (2-1).
