The Medina Mustangs JV football team dropped their opener to Burgard on Saturday afternoon by a score of 32-6.

Burgard was able to build a 6-0 lead in the first quarter and extend it to 20-0 at halftime, including a long pass completion for a touchdown as the half expired.

The Bulldogs then tacked on two more touchdowns in the third quarter. The first was off of a fumble return on the opening kickoff of the second half. Then, on the ensuing possession a tipped pass led to an interception return for a touchdown, stretching the Burgard lead to 32-0.

The Mustangs were able to get some offense going in the fourth quarter, coming up with a 14 yard touchdown pass from Brian Fry to Tyler Chinn to put the Mustangs on the scoreboard. The touchdown pass was set up by a series of runs by Bobby Geiger.

Fry finished with 91 passing yards on the day, while Geiger accounted for 55 yards on the ground.

A quick two touchdown scoring burst late in the first half keyed Geneseo to a 16-6 victory over host Holley this afternoon spoiling the Hawks Livingston County League debut.

Breaking away from a scoreless deadlock, Geneseo took an 8-0 lead with 4:21 remaining in the first half on a 6 yard touchdown run and two-point conversion carry by Jake Laidlaw which capped a 15 play, 69 yard drive.

Ryan Andrews looks to pass for Holley as Geneseo defender Jason Valentine closes in.

The Blue Devils quickly doubled their advantage as Kyle MacDonald intercepted a pass and returned it 35 yards for a TD with 1:38 remaining. Laidlaw again added the two-point converse carry to make it 16-0.

Capitalizing on a botched Geneseo punt attempt, Holley got back into the game when Ryan Andrews scored on a 2 yard run with one second remaining in the third period. However, the Hawks missed on the two-point conversion attempt.

That opportunity was set up when Holley took over at the Geneseo 10 yard line as a punt attempt misfired with the ball sailing high over the Blue Devils punters head.

Holley also drove to the Geneseo 17 earlier in the third quarter sparked by runs of 13 yards by Jacob Affronti and 9 by quarterback Jeremy Mallett and a 12 yard Mallett to Camron Labarge pass completion. However, a sack on fourth down wiped out that opportunity.

The Hawks also drove to the Geneseo 24 late in the game after an 11 yard run by Labarge, an 8 yard pass complete from Andrews to Michael Passarell and a pass interference penalty against the Blue Devils.  However, the drive again stalled out on downs after a penalty slowed the advance.

The closest the Hawks came to the Blue Devils goal line in the first half was the 27 after runs of 12 yards by Nicholas Schutz and Labarge. That advance likewise stalled out on downs.

Defensively, the Hawks got a fumble recovery by Nathan Towne in the first half.

Holley next hosts Attica at 1:30 p.m. next Saturday.
