After a decisive victory over Wynford last Thursday, the Galion Tigers are gearing up for their next challenge as they travel to face the Carey Blue Devils this Friday. The Tigers, who dominated at Unckrich Stadium in their opening game, are eager to keep the momentum going as they hit the road.
A Look Back: Galion Smokes Wynford in Season Opener
Galion smoked Wynford last Thursday with a resounding 49-13 victory, enforcing a running clock in the first game of the season. The Tigers were locked in on both sides of the ball, hardly allowing Wynford any breathing room. The Royals struggled throughout the game, fumbling and throwing interceptions under relentless pressure from Galion’s defense.
The Royals managed to score one touchdown in the 1st quarter and another in the 4th, the latter coming while Galion’s non-starters were on the field. Wynford’s touchdowns were scored by Brayden Campbell and Anthony Evans.
On the offensive side, Braxton Prosser led the charge for Galion, racking up 2 rushing and 2 passing touchdowns. Jacob Cambers also shined, with 2 touchdown catches and a rushing score. Additionally, Sam Evans and Kale Early each contributed with touchdowns, showcasing the depth and dominance of Galion’s roster in this season opener.
Upcoming Matchup: Carey Blue Devils
This Friday, the Tigers will take on Carey, a team known for its competitiveness within the Northern 10 Athletic Conference (N10). Carey’s season started with a narrow 27-22 loss to Hopewell-Loudon, making this upcoming game crucial for both teams. With a 2023 overall record of 10-3, the Blue Devils have proven to be a formidable opponent, but Galion is prepared to challenge them once again.
Last Season’s Encounter
Last year, Galion edged out Carey in a tight contest, winning 21-14 in the second game of the season. This year’s matchup promises to be just as intense, with both teams looking to establish dominance early in the season.
On the Horizon: Upper Sandusky Rivalry
Following their game against Carey, the Tigers will continue their road stretch by traveling to Upper Sandusky. This matchup revives an old rivalry from the days of the Northern Ohio League (NOL), adding another layer of excitement to the early part of the season.
With strong performances and rivalries intensifying, the Galion Tigers are focused and determined as they continue their journey through the season.
