Somber Homecoming for Generals

The Lee Generals (2-4) played host to the Englewood Rams (2-4) in their first Homecoming game after two years of construction. The Generals started off slow, spotting the Rams two points early in the second quarter when a bad snap sailed over the head of punter Jordan Bell through the end zone.

Later in the second quarter the Rams were able to break a big run down the sideline to put the Rams up 9-0. That would not come without answer though as the Generals were able to run the ball down the field and finally punch it in with a quarterback keeper up the gut for an Isaiah Dunning touchdown. The Generals then trailed the Rams 9-7 heading into halftime.

After the half the Generals looked strong as they were able to move the ball down the field. The Rams though held firm at the goal line and a fumble on 4th down caused a turnovers on downs after the Generals recovered at the 1 yard line. The Rams were able to break it big though with a screen, running the ball down their visiting sideline for a huge gain. This set up a quarterback keeper of their own, as the Englewood quarterback ran it in for the final touchdown of the game. The Rams were able to convert the point after attempt. With that the Rams upset the Generals in the Backyard 16-7.

The Generals (2-4) will next travel to take on the Orange Park Raiders (2-3). Both teams will be looking for their first district win.
