Jr. Gremlin

(Teams do not officially keep score)

On Sunday morning at Temple City High School the La Cañada Gladiators Junior Gremlin team squared off against the always tough Temple City Rams. The La Cañada Junior Gremlin Team of of Andrew Sharman, Emmet Hurley, Adam Crawford, Austin Heberger, Cayden Smith, Max Nelson, Dylan McGoldrick, Ronald Shin, Adam Griffin, Matthew Bannick, Ryan Gonzalez, John Lytle, Charlie Stewart, Corey Koehler, Benjamin Ahn, Jonathan Ahn, Brian Harley, Mitchell Frus, Devin Mathews, and Thomas McConnell set the bar high on their first offensive play of the game when Crawford ran for a touchdown. On defense, Austin Heberger, Emmet Hurley, and Ronald Shin pulled flags on the first three plays, and Heberger batted down a pass to force a punt. Crawford then ran for a 40-yard touchdown on the Gladiators’ first play from scrimmage.

In the second quarter, after a Rams’ score, Heberger hit John Lytle for a quick pass to start another Gladiator drive, and Tomas McConnell ran down the right side for the Gladiators’ second score. On defense, Sharman held his ground and forced the play back inside and pulled two flags in a row.

The second half was another hard fought half and the Gladiators made some good defensive adjustments holding the Rams scoreless in the half. Shin and Heberger both narrowly missed interceptions, and McConnell, Andrew Sharman, Caden Smith and Max Nelson all made drive-stopping plays. It was the first tight game for Gladiators in a while and the team showed their toughness and found a way get in the end zone two more times and keep the Rams out.

Next up for the Gladiators are the Rosemead Rebels next Oct. 31 at La Cañada High School.
