Garfield vs Bishop Blanchet Recap
Aaron Orbeck


The Garfield Bulldogs lost to Bishop Blanchet 12-24 in their final non-championship playoff game. 

The Bulldogs started off the scoring early with a nice short run into the end zone. However, a blocked extra point attempt put them up by only six points. Garfield then extended their lead after an unsuccessful drive by Blanchet with a field goal by Marcus Merkelbach making the score 9-0. Bishop Blanchet started off their scoring with a touchdown off a play action pass. A successful extra point put them only behind by two at 9-7. Blanchet then took the lead with a short quarterback run up the middle. Subsequently, a successful extra point put Bishop Blanchet up 14-9 for the rest of the half. 

To start the second half Blanchet extended their lead further with a successful field goal. The Bulldogs finally answered back with a long field goal from Merkelbach to make it 17-12. Blanchet did not allow the Bulldogs to celebrate for long though because they scored again on a run play. The extra point put Blanchet up 24-12. With little time on the clock left the Bulldogs simply couldn’t bring it back.  ​
