On a cool Friday night in Aurora, the third-ranked Legend Titans took on the seventh-ranked Grandview Wolves in an intense football matchup. The Titans' powerful rushing attack was the key to their 21-14 victory, with three players combining for over 170 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. The game was a nail-biter until the very end, with the Titans ultimately coming out on top thanks to a crucial fourth quarter touchdown by Nicholas Farley.
The game started off strong for the Titans, as they scored two touchdowns in the first quarter while the Wolves struggled to find their footing. Grandview's quarterback, Blitz McCarty, put up a valiant effort in his debut as starting quarterback, throwing for over 150 yards and nearly leading his team to a comeback. However, the Titans' ability to respond with a long, 13-play scoring drive in the fourth quarter ultimately sealed their victory.
After the game, Legend's head coach Monte Thelen praised his team, saying, "This was a playoff-level game for sure. Grandview is an excellent football team... We showed a lot of character and were able to come out on top in the fourth quarter, just as we had anticipated."
In the first quarter, Grandview struggled to move the ball and only managed one first down in their first three possessions. Meanwhile, Legend capitalized on the Wolves' slow start and scored a touchdown on their first drive of the game. The Titans continued to dominate, and with only one second left in the quarter, quarterback Michael Marsenich connected with running back Jaden Lawrence for a one-play touchdown, extending their lead to 14-0.
As the game progressed, both teams fought hard, but neither could gain a significant advantage. However, with the Wolves facing a 3rd and long in the fourth quarter, McCarty threw a 63-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Kyler Vaughn, tying the game at 14-14. But the Titans were not deterred, and with Farley taking over at quarterback, they embarked on a 12-play, run-heavy drive that culminated in Farley's game-winning touchdown.
Grandview head coach Tom Doherty acknowledged that his team faced a tough opponent and made too many mistakes, saying, "We needed to play really good football to beat them, and we had too many mistakes offensively." Despite their efforts, the Wolves ultimately fell short, and the Titans emerged victorious.
