Little did the “upset minded” Redskins know it, but just eleven plays later, Granville would be hitting pay-dirt for their second score of the evening, sending Utica into fifth place in the LCL standings.Following the Granville kick-off, John Horn returned the ball to the Utica 31-yd. line, and from the on-set, proceeded to march 16 yards on four carries, to the Utica 47 yard marker. Stopped by a Dana Hartmantackle, the Redskins were faced with a fourth down and fivesituation.Bombs BurstPending a 38-yd. Redskin punt, and two personal fouls against the Blue Aces, Girkins then let fly with his usually fine air circus attempts, only to over-shoot Scott on the long-bomb down, out and down pattern. What out-launched Blue Ace receivers the first time, proved to be an instant six point success, as the Blue Aces came right back with the same identical play to the left, where Piper snagged the ball for the games longest pass play, and raced practically untouched, 92 yards to the goal, leaving Redskin defenders baffled. Piper’s placekick was true, and the Aces led the Utica “red men, 10-0, with 5:45 remaining to be played. But the Blue Ace drive had just begun, as nine plays later, Granville would return to the scene of the crime and blend six more points to their game winning lead.85-yard PlayWith only 1:42 remaining in the half, Girkins brought the fleet-footed Aces back to game domination, on an 85-yd. pass play to split-end Steve Scott,UnusualGifts Practical£ HistoricalInteresting;aileendunkinGranvilleGame StatisticsLast Weak With GHS OpponentTotal Yds.
