After scoring their fi nal points
at the start of the fourth, Burns was
forced back on face-mask and late-
hit penalties, while Grant Union had
possession.
The Whiskey Gulch Gang’s
cannon sounded with a bang for an
apparent Grant Union touchdown —
but refs’ fl ags fl ew, and the play was
called back. On their fourth-down
try, Grant Union was stopped at the
16-yard line.
Grant Union stopped their oppo-
nents’ last drive with two tackles in
the backfi eld and a forced fumble.
Burns recovered their fumble, and
the game ended.
“We started off with a drive,” said
head coach Jason Miller. “The kids
played hard. That’s another physical
team.”
He noted the younger players on
the team stepped up in the game, in-
cluding Kellen Shelley who stepped
in as quarterback in the fourth quarter.
“Kellen, a freshman, managed
the offense fairly well,” Miller said.
“Defense played really well against
their (Burns’) run. We just let a few
get by us.”
Grant Union has a bye next week
and will prepare for their homecom-
ing game against the Culver Bulldogs
at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 7, in John Day.
