8^th Travis Gold 8 Vs. Howell 22

The Travis Gold team was inconsistent on both sides of the ball Tuesday night and the result was an 8-22 loss. Early in the 1^st quarter, quarterback Raheem Jones took over for an injured Matthew Lerma. Jones was poised and ran the offense very well. He had several nice runs and 3 that resulted in big first downs for the offense. Although the offense was able to work the ball down the field in the first half but mistakes would come at crucial times that would stall out the drives. Late in the second quarter Andrew Holsey broke a 17 yard run for a touchdown. Jones would run in the 2 point conversion making the score 8-16 Howell at the half. Travis played with great effort in the second half but once again some mental mistakes would cost the Fiddlers.   J.C. Garcia had good kickoff returns and one long run of 20 yards.   The boys play extremely hard and do everything that is asked of them by the coaches. Most of them play on offense and then turn right around and play on the defensive side of the ball. They will continue to work and improve on their season.
