Greenwood travelled to Mountain Home and beat the Bombers 55-7
Going into the opening game of the 6A West Conference slate, the Mountain Home Bombers were 2-0 and riding a wave of excitement, then Greenwood rolled in. The Bombers last scored on the Bulldogs in 2021, and had been beat 5 consecutive times by Greenwood by a score of 211-27, Mountain Home was looking to show just how much they had improved for the 2023 season. Those hopes would be short lived.
Nearly all the drives Mountain Home had ended in either turnover on downs or a punt. The one offensive highlight for the Bombers was a Flea Flicker pass that went in for a Touchdown after Greenwood had already scored 28 points. In those 28 points Seniors Brayedan Davis and L.J. Robins would find the end zone twice, Davis with two rushing Touchdowns and Robins on two passes from Sophomore Kane Archer. The Jack Edwards snap and Bodey Steinfeldt kicks were good and the ‘Dogs were on top comfortably in the 2nd quarter.
Penalties for both teams were a big issue as Mountain Home and Greenwood passed the midway mark in the 2nd quarter. Greenwood’s Kane Archer would go out with an undisclosed injury leading the way for classmate Cooper Goodwin to take the helm of the Greenwood Machine.
Defense continued to roll last night holding the Bomber offense to 166 total yards after they had 1000 plus yards the past two games. Cash Archer would add to his sack total and Brady Mackey would get an interception.
Greenwood would finish the night with Cooper Goodwin finding L.J. Robins and Junior Isaiah Arrington for passing TD. Sophomore Wesley Raggio ran one in from 75 yards out to make it 55-7.
“Proud of our kids, they responded better, and we played football the right way. We made some mistakes in the first half and let our emotions get a hold of us. We didn’t play Bulldog Football in the 2nd quarter.” Head Coach Chris Young said the Greenwood Live Stream crew after the game.
“Cooper came in and did a great job leading our offense.” Coach Young speaking on Cooper Goodwin coming in for the injured Kane Archer. “We [have] got two good Quarterbacks back there.”
“Other than the one double move that they got us on, the trick play that was a good call by the coach we got to give him credit.” Coach said about the only touchdown allowed. “Other than that defense played good all night.”
Greenwood will be at home Friday as Siloam Springs comes to town. Kickoff at 7pm.
