ā€œThe Bisons were once again led by an aggressive defense that kept the Gryphons off the scoreboard until the fourth quarter while the offense managed to keep the Gryphon off balance with a mixture of passes and runs,” commented Ward. Ā “Bisons running back David Adeniran had an outstanding game, scoring three touchdowns in the victory.”

ā€œThe Bisons were leading 25-0 in the fourth quarter when a number of defensive penalties allowed the Gryphons to score two touchdowns and make the game closer than it should have been. The touchdowns were the first offensive points that the defense had given up in three games. The Gryphons were threatening to score again with less than in a minute to go in the game but a timely interception by the Bisonsā€™ Ian Lawrence sealed the victory for the Bisons.”

ā€œThis was the first game where I can say that our team played a complete game, both on the offense and defense,” commented varsity Bisons Head Coach Kelly Ireland. Ā “We need to reduce the number of penalties that our players take and will be working on that in practice this week as we get ready to face the Chatham Cougars this Saturday during our homecoming game.”
