Gull Lake Varsity Football Drops Home Opener to Marshall

Game Date
Aug 27, 2021
Score
: 16
MARSHALL HIGH SCHOOL: 23

The hot humid weather on Friday night definitely was a contributing factor in Friday nights' football game.  Both teams were hit hard by cramping athletes but both teams fought through adversity for an exciting home-opening game in Richland.   Marshall's air attack was in tune during the first half as they reeled off more offensive plays by a three-to-one margin and were up early on the Blue Devils.  The Redhawks took a 23-7 lead at the half.  Gull Lake's lone touchdown in the first half came from junior Nolan Greenwood on a 68-yard touchdown run.  

Gull Lake gained momentum in the second half but ran out of time for the comeback.  The Blue Devil defense recorded a safety in the 3rd quarter, and senior, Silas VanWormer scored on a 63-yard rushing TD in the 4th quarter to make the game interesting.  Nolan Greenwood also had an interception in the second half for the Blue Devil defense and they kept Marshall out of the end zone in the second half.  Gull Lake came up short on a fourth-and-four play from mid-field, turned it over on downs, and the Redhawks took a knee on their last possession to end the game and take the win 23-16.
