The Alvirne Broncos football team traveled to Timberlane Regional High School on Friday night, Oct. 17, and were able to outlast the Owls by three-points for the team’s second victory of the season.
A strong Broncos defense was able to hold back Timberlane’s second half efforts on that team’s home turf to help their team secure a narrow 25-22 win.
Coming off a rather deflating 17-56 loss at Pinkerton Academy, the victory was just what head coach Justin Hufft and his team needed for a bit of confidence heading into the final two games of the fall sports season.
The Alvirne sqiad held the now 3-4 Timberlane team to a miniscule 30-yards on the ground in the second half and senior running back Mikey Landmesser rushed for an impressive 175-yards with two touchdowns for the tough road win.
Landmesser was handed the ball for 16 carries in the contest for his 175-yards on the ground,with two carries resulting in touchdowns. He also had two receptions for 36-yards, giving him over 210-yards of offense.
Junior quarterback Ethan Dudley went six-for-14 in passing for an even 100-yards and tallied one touchdown. The first-year quarterback also had nine carries for 24-yards in the game.
The versatile senior Quinten Tetreault also contributed greatly to the victory, tallying three receptions for 57-yards, getting one touchdown and had four carries for 16-yards.
Senior wide receiver Jaden Taylor had one reception for seven-yards in the contest.
The Broncos will return home for the team’s fourth home game of the season and try to string together two-consecutive wins when the face the Dover Green Wave this coming Friday night, Oct. 24.
