The JV football team continued it's home stand against Panorama the day after Labor Day and came up on the short end of a 22 to 6 contest. In a game that featured incredible pass rushes by both teams, Interstate was able to capitalize on a strong defensive surge in the late in the first half recovering a fumble in the end zone for what would be the only score of the night for the home team. An impressive Roadrunner defense also featured a pass interception by Travis Yossett deep in Panther territory and two fumble recoveries by freshman Garrett Thompson. The boys in blue created numerous opportunities for turnovers with hard hits and exceptional penetration into the Panorama backfield.
Offensively, the Roadrunners never clicked gaining numerous first downs but not were never able to string enough together because of a very athletic front four for the Panthers. After squeezing the lead to two points with a score of 8-6 in favor of the Panorama, the Panthers were able to take the kickoff all the way for a score putting them up 14-6. They were able to tack on eight more on an option pitch in the second half to reach the final score.
The JV will travel to Leon on September 12, to take on the Cardinals.
