Dukes Fall To Andrew Lewis

Dukes Fall to Andrew Lewis
By David Gravely

The Dublin Middle School Dukes football team dropped to 2-2 on the season Thursday night as they were overwhelmed by an extremely aggressive and effective Andrew Lewis offense and defense.  While the Dukes were able to move the ball inside the Wolverines 10 yard line early in the first quarter, an Andrew Lewis interception ended that drive and the Dukes fell by a final score of 49-0.

The Dukes received the ball on the opening kickoff but were forced to punt.  The Wolverines hit paydirt quickly, with a 57 yard touchdown run, followed by the extra point at the 5:41 mark of the first quarter.   The Dukes returned the kickoff to their own 48 yard line, and a big run by Levi Clark moved the ball to the nine yard line, putting the Dukes into scoring position.  The Wolverines then intercepted a pass attempt to end the drive, and drove the ball the length of the field to score again with 2:14 left in the first quarter.  The PAT put the score at 14-0 Andrew Lewis.  Andrew Lewis intercepted a second Dukes pass in the first quarter, and with 7:46 left in the second quarter scored on a 12 yard run.  Touchdown runs of 80 yards and 45 yards finished out the first half for the Wolverines, leaving the score at 35-0.

Andrew Lewis took the kickoff in the second half and began to drive down the field again.  With 3:55 left in the third quarter on a running clock the Wolverines scored on a 28 yard run.  The final score of the game came from the Wolverines on a 48 yard run, followed by the seventh successful extra point attempt of the game to put the final score at 49-0 Andrew Lewis.

The Dukes hit the road this week, as they travel to Christiansburg to face the Blue Demons at Christiansburg High School.  Game time is set for 5:30.
