It was Sylvania Homecoming Friday night. Alumni from several different years met to cheer on the Rams to a victory.  Sand Rock’s mission was to spoil their celebration.

With 6:00 left in the second quarter, Caleb Kasinger connected with William Carver for the Sand Rock touchdown.  Going into the half, the score was Sand Rock 14, Sylvania 6.

With 9:22 left in the game, Sand Rock struck again with a 11-yard dash into the endzone for the score.  With 6:45 left in the game,Sand Rock added more points to the board with a 9-yard touchdown.

Sylvania tried their best to catch up with a 32-yard touchdown by Caleb Roebuck, but time ran out for the Rams. Coach Matt Putnam’s assessment? “We’ve got to execute better.”
