Football Comes Up Short Against Dover

It was a misty Friday night, and York Suburban was looking for their first win of the season against a Dover team that was not as strong as their previous opponents.

York Suburban received the kickoff, however, they didn’t get far before having to punt it away. Dover would have the same luck on their first drive, and the cycle would continue until the end of the first quarter, which ended scoreless.

The second quarter saw the first touchdown of the game, which was ran in 2 yards by Rylan Bratton. Jakey Royer’s extra point attempt was blocked, making it 6-0 York Suburban with 8 minutes left in the first half. The Trojans’ would continue to build on their momentum, and Gehret Gentzyle was able to get his first touchdown of the season off a 41-yard run. They would try for the two-point conversion and fail, making it 12-0. The Eagles found the back of the endzone once in the first half ending the half at 12-7. This was the first game that York Suburban had the lead going into the half, although it was short-lived.

Dover made adjustments coming out of the half, which led to a 2-yard carry at the goal line to put them in the lead 14-12. York Suburban had multiple opportunities to score, however they came up short every try. At the end of the third quarter, the score remained 14-12.

York Suburban had the ball at the beginning of the fourth quarter but could not do anything with it.  Both teams went back and forth throughout the final minutes of the game, however, the Trojans were not able to find any more points. The game ended in a 14-12 loss for Suburban, however, there are still chances for us to get a win. Next Friday we host Susquehannock.
