Spring Garden 50-Valley Head 6

Valley Head traveled to Spring Garden Friday night for Class 1A, Region 7 play. The game did not turn out the way Tiger fans would have wanted. Spring Garden held the Valley Head Tigers to only 154 total yards.

By the half, Spring Garden had held the Valley Head Tigers to only 43 yards.  Ethan Harrison had been picked off twice resulting in two West End touchdowns.  Going into the half, Spring Garden was in full control with a lead of 43-0.

Coming back after the half, to add insult to injury, the quarters were shortened to nine minutes.  Spring Garden scored a final time on a 9-yard run with 4:00 left in the game.  Valley Head was down but never quit fighting.  They are a young team but are maturing and improving every game.  Aaron Cole scored with 2:00 left in the game to avoid a Tiger shutout.  Final Spring Garden 50, Valley Head 6.

Valley Head will travel to Fyffe, Friday night for yet another tough game.
