FLEETWOOD – Twin Valley came into Saturday night’s matchup with the Fleetwood Tigers off one of the biggest wins in many years. Fleetwood came in reeling in the midst of a tough two game losing streak. The game being played on Homecoming night was filled with distractions for both sides. Clearly the team that would bring their focus was going to prevail. Fleetwood ( 3-3) went between the lines and proved it was ready to play. The Tigers came away with an impressive 26-9 win over Twin Valley (4-2).
Tanner Maddocks played an outstanding game on both sides of the ball for Fleetwood. The Villanova commit had two key interceptions on defense. On offense Tanner had a TD pass and a TD run. The Tigers ground attack was led by Gavin Morris who had two rushing TD’s
Tigers Head Coach Steve Beatty was very pleased at his team’s bounce back performance.
