First game story have a lot of room for improvement. I will be showing a more recent Game Story shortly to compare my writings.

The Lafayette Fighting Irish ran through the Savannah Savages Friday night in St. joseph,
Missouri.
Northside pride week for the Irish which is a week for all north end elementary schools,
middle schools and Lafayette high school celebrate the week with spirit days from Monday to
Friday ending with the football game Friday night.
“Northside pride week is for the student body for the kids the community tonight we
played for Lafayette,” coach Bart Hardy said.
Savannah in the first quarter looked to be competitive as senior quarterback Chase
Spoonemore’s 37 yard read option was the longest run for savannah on the night.
Trickery for Lafayette as Punter Cade Cortez fake punted and ran the ball 48 yards to
Savannahs 33 yard line. Two plays later senior running back Trey Washington ran 28 yards from
a flick by senior quarterback Diego Bernard. That made the Irish go up 7-0 with 6:42 on the
clock.
That would not be all from Bernard for the game.
After a 66-yard pass from Bernard it set up a one yard rush by Marco Rodriguez. The
point after was missed and the score was 13-0 with 4:14 left in the first quarter.
Lafayette’s defense was strong for the night only giving up a total of six first downs,
eight, four and outs and three turnovers on downs.
An early fumble recovery for the Savages lead to a punt with 9:58 left in the second
quarter.

2. Middle through the second quarter Bernard found senior wide receiver, Braden Cox, 54
yards for an Irish touchdown. The score made it 20-0 Lafayette.
Savannah next drive led to Irish senior linebacker Bryaden Becerria having a 12 yard loss
sack to Spoonemore.
Now with 2:47 on the clock Bernard finds Cox in the back of the end zone for a
touchdown. With another blocked PAT the score is 26-0.
The Irish were not done with the first half as Bernard also finds senior wide receiver
Jaden King making the score go to 32-0 Lafayette. The point after was missed this time.
“Get the pass game on track, Benton shut us down. Work on our receivers, get timing
down on routs so we know where to go and for me to pass it,” Bernard said.
The wide receivers did get targeted at throughout the game.
32-0 was the score heading to half time. Bernard had a total of 316 total yards with three
touchdowns at the half.
Out of half time the Irish received the ball and marched all the way down the field and
Bernard rushes the ball two yards into the end zone. The kick was good, now the score is 39-0
Lafayette.
Another four and out for the Savages. The savages offensive line was not helping out
Spoonemore as no matter what play they ran did not accumulate any yards.
With two minutes left in the third quarter Bernard passes 43 yards down the field to King.
The now lead the savages 46-0.

3. The first play of the fourth quarter saw the Irish hold the Savages to turnover on downs
with a huge fourth and one stop to keep their dominance on the defense.
Lafayette’s next drive had sophomore quarter Daeton Mcgaughy came into replace
Bernard and later on the drive Mcgaughy fumbled the ball, but Lafayette recovered the ball.
Lafayette ended up punting the ball away to Savannah. That was their first attempt of the punt
for the night.
Mcgaughy finally got his first touchdown pass on the year as he finds sophomore Kaden
Miller 10 yards down the field. The Irish now lead 53-0 with 2:53 left in the fourth quarter.
The biggest highlight for the Savages was they finally got a first down with one minute left in
fourth quarter. Their first, first down since the first quarter.
“We took last Fridays game film broke that down and fixed all the little details, we kind
of looked at what they are going to do from that,” Hardy said.
The Irish beat the Savages 53-0. The Lafayette Fighting Irish now needs to overcome the
undefeated Smithville Warriors on the road. That game will be held in Smithville next Friday.
