Friday night football recap

It's hard to believe the football season is 33 percent of the way done after Friday night's aciton.
I was at the Romeo vs. Dakota game tonight where the host Cougars rallied from a 10-0 first-quarter deficit to defeat the Bulldogs 33-17.
Romeo only trailed 19-17 at halftime, but this game was won in the trenches where the bigger and more physical Cougar team just wore the Bulldogs down.
Dakota looks like its worthy of its top-10 ranking in the state. The Cougars are a very physical team up front with a ton of speed at the skill positions and on defense.
Romeo battled, though, but only managed to get the ball to its horse, running back Ben Brown 14 times for 86 yards. Dakota, though, did a good job limiting him to short runs in the second half.

In other games tonight, Source associate editor Don Chamberlain covered Sterling Heights 21-14 loss to Grosse Pointe South.
That game was scoreless through the first three quarters. The Stallions led 14-0, but couldn't hold on. A Blue Devil interception with just over a minute to play led to a touchdown pass with 18 seconds left, giving GPS the thrilling victory.

You can read both of these stories along with Thursday night's five-game volleyball match between Eisenhower and Stevenson on our website at www.sourcenewspapers.com

In other games on Friday night, Stevenson trounced Ford II 51-7 in the battle of Runkel Field, while Chippewa Valley rallied from a 13-0 deficit to defeat Eisenhower 14-13. Utica rallied from a 28-6 third-quarter deficit, but fell short in a 35-30 loss to Grosse Pointe North, while Parkway Christian scored 16 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to beat visiting Lutheran Westland 23-12 at Fraser High School.

What game were you at tonight? Let me know who you saw and your thoughts on the game. Let's blog.

Have a good weekend.
