Game Summary/Box Score
April 15, 2006 Grand Junction Scorpions at Magic Valley Bulldawgs @
Minico High School
GRAND JUNCTION 22 MAGIC VALLEY 12
RUPERT – The Grand Junction Scorpions had
a battle on their hands in Rupert, Idaho.
The host Magic Valley Bulldawgs struck first and held a strong Scorpion
passing game in check, however, Grand Junction brought just enough of
league-leading running back, Jeff Dottson, to get the
job done and bring home a 22-12 victory over the Magic Valley Bulldawgs.
Dottson rushed for 112 yards and the
Scorpions first score late in the first quarter to pull the Scorpions ahead 7-6 at the time.
The Scorpions would never trail at that point. After trading second
quarter touchdowns, the Scorpions lead 14-12 at the half. A score that would
hold up in a tightly contested battle until Eric Easterbrook broke through for
a clinching touchdown late in the 4th.
While the Scorpion passing
game was held to 40 net passing yards, the rushing attack turned out to be just
enough in the victory.
The Bulldawgs received a solid performance from back-up quarterback, Ben Landrian. Landrian was replacing the pre-season starter, Mark Leonard, who was injured in the teams first game versus the Morgan Marauders. Landrian passed for 144 yards and 2 touchdowns in his first action at quarterback. Ironically, Landrian, converting to quarterback from wide receiver is the second AA quarterback to have to make that transition. The other? The Scorpions, Mike Christensen, who did not have his best game with a 3 of 11 performance, but was more than happy to come out with the victory in the long road game.
