Freeport Aquin Edges Missiles

By Craig Lang, Prairie Advocate Sports

Despite being down 13-0 at halftime, the Missiles clawed their way back in the third quarter. But it wasn't enough as the Missiles took the 13-8 loss.

Kurt Landis scored on a 1 yard run and caught the 2 point conversion pass from Dillon Eich to make it a 13-8 contest. That was as close as the Milledgeville squad could come as the Pirates held on for the five point win to hand the Missiles their second loss of the season. Carrigan Hunter led Milledgeville with 134 yards on 29 carries.

The Missiles host the Stockton Blackhawks next Friday night at Floyd Daub Field.
