"So (it's a) step in the right direction, a lot of work to be done but we're happy where we're at right now tonight."We're gonna go to work (today) ... but it was a great victory for our crowd and our school. We've taken a few lumps the past couple years so it was good to play well in front of the home crowd, that was nice."Greeley Central (1-1) scored just six points against Green Mountain last week, but the Wildcats ran up the score, literally, on Friday, scoring eight of its nine touchdowns on rushing plays.Senior running back Travis Lechman led the way with 103 yards on 11 carries for two touchdowns in the first quarter. Senior back Brandon Gallegos followed closely with 100 rushing yards on 10 carries and also scored two TDs."I was just happy the team was doing really well and we all executed," Lechman said. "I'm just really happy everyone was doing good, (did) their job and did great. ... Everyone was ready to come in for this game and everyone was all excited."Junior quarterback Zach Koch looked ready, finishing 3 of 3 with 53 yards and ran in two touchdowns himself, each from the 1-yard line. He shared time with senior quarterback, Brady Guyette, who was 2 of 4 with 32 yards.Koch said it felt great to get a big win and just give Central's running backs the ball as much as he could."We have a lot of running backs and we try to get our playmakers the ball as best we can," he said, "and that was our running backs tonight. We felt like we could exploit their defense, running up the middle and pounding it down on third (down)."The Wildcats had six third- or fourth-down conversions against Adams City and rushed at least 10 times in each of the first three quarters."We thought we could run the ball, we knew that coming in," Heatherly said. "We just thought we would find out; we had a couple ideas, couple schemes in mind that we thought might work well and they did."We were able to run the ball inside and force them to pack it inside a little bit and then had some timely passes and sweep plays where we could get to the perimeter," he added. "Things just worked out well, just kinda what we thought."Senior wide receiver James Desmond contributed with a three-yard TD run in the second quarter and sophomore back Kody Drake sco存倉ed a two-yarder in the fourth. On defense, sophomore defensive back Riley Ortegon returned a 24-yard interception for a touchdown with about four minutes left in the game.Adams City couldn't get anything to go its way, finishing 4 of 12 with 13 passing yards and had 19 carries for just 27 yards. The Eagles' two quarterbacks combined for three interceptions and the offense lost two fumbles."Our goal was to stop their running back, that kid was pretty good," Heatherly said. "We thought we did a pretty good job on him and forced them to throw the ball and we didn't feel like they could beat us throwing."The Wildcats weren't perfect, though; they had five penalties costing them 50 yards. But other than that, Heatherly said Central kept its mistakes to a minimum."We're big about focusing and finishing," he said. "We had a few penalties that we weren't happy about and just some lackadaisical things. That's just always something; you always coach for the next game. You might get away with something tonight that will just kill ya the next week, so you're always looking for those things. But we kept our mistakes to a minimum."Heatherly said the players and coaches will be able to enjoy the win, but not for too long."As coaches, you very rarely get to do that," he said. "It's Homecoming; we'll look at film in the morning and that'll be part of what we do, but they'll (the players) have their Homecoming dance (today) and enjoy that and then Monday, back to work."ACHS 0 0 0 0 -- 0GCHS 21 21 6 14 -- 62First quarterGCHS -- Brandon Gallegos 6 run (Juan Delacruz kick), 9:05.
