Grand Valley Volleyball with another straight set win. This time over Champion 3-0!
Nothing cures the sting of a loss like getting back on the winning track. The Grand Valley football team reaffirmed that notion Friday night in a 68-8 throttling of host Windham in the Northeast Athletic Conference opener for both teams.
The win not only washes some of the sour taste from the Mustangs' Week 3 loss to McDonald, but also avenges a 61-26 loss to the Bombers last season.
The 3-1 Mustangs return home to Reel Family Stadium next Friday to face Wilmington, Pa.
"This feels really good," Coach Matt Rosati said. "We needed that. We definitely needed that. We practiced well all week, so it was good to see it translate into the game."
Seven different Mustangs scored touchdowns in the game - JayAnthony Williams with three, Luke Giddings with two and one each from Nate Stewart, Hunter Doing, Liam Hart, Tony Williams and Austin Miller.
Said Rosati, "We tried to spread the ball around and get a lot of people touches."
The plan worked as GV built a 54-0 halftime lead and never looked back. Williams scored all three of his touchdowns in the first quarter, with TD receptions of 20 and 45 yards from Stewart, as well as a 53-yard interception return for a score. It's Williams' third pick-six of the season.
"Jay is phenomenal," Rosati said. "I think he touched the ball four times and scored on three of them."
Giddings had a 43-yard sprint for a score in the first quarter and added a 10-yard burst in the second. In between, Stewart took a keeper up the middle for a 47-yard touchdown run, with Hunter Doing adding a 10-yard run of his own.
The first half scoring wrapped up with Carter Turk hitting Liam Hart on a 10-yard slant for a touchdown.
Rosati said the week of great practice led to the fiery first quarter, saying, "we had a very, very focused and intense week of practice and were determined to get back on the right side of things. A big thing as we approached the game is Windham scored 61 on GV last year. That was our goal - to answer back on THEIR field and show some firepower. We were able to do that in the first half."
The onslaught continued in the second half, which was played with a running clock. Tony Williams scored on a touchdown run, and then the GV sideline came alive when Miller - the 6-foot-1, 285-pound anchor of the Mustangs' offensive line - scored his first varsity touchdown with a direct-snap run.
With the win secured, the Mustangs made the trip back to Orwell and rang the victory bell under the partially-full moon cast above Reel Family Stadium. Rosati said work on Week 4 foe Wilmington begins now.
"They're pretty good. We've been following them for a little while now," Rosati said. "They're a good team and well-coached. ... We rang the victory bell tonight for the third time - and all those wins have been on the road. We were like, 'Let's do this at home.' We haven't done that on the new turf yet, so we need to win at home now."
