June 23, 2016   ·   0 Comments

The Orangeville Outlaws took a loss to the Cambridge Lions on Sunday, June 19, at Westside Secondary School, but it was a close game that really could have gone either way.

The Cambridge team just managed to score more points in a game that otherwise was pretty even.

At the start of the second quarter the Outlaws were trailing 10-6 with neither team able to score for the rest of the half.

Orangeville kicked off to start the second half and pinned the Lions on their own ten yard line.

The Outlaws defence stepped up to keep the Lions in their own end on solid stops from Jake Fetterly, Lucas Dano, Matt Langridge, and Robert Costa that forced Cambridge to punt to get out of the hole.

Josh Van Amelsvoort returned the kick to the eight yard line.

Quarterback Fisher Brown followed up with a pass to Blair St. Amour who scored to make it a 12-10 game.

The Cambridge team responded with some good success on the throwing game and drover to the O-ville 11 yard line.

They were back in the lead when they scored on the next play.

The Lions widened the gap in the fourth quarter on a long pass that dropped the ball on the ten, then advanced to the one yard line.

They scored on the next play.

The Outlaws had one last big push late in the game but they couldn’t close the score and had to settle for a 23-12 loss.

“We started well early on, but I think we were a little rusty because it’s been a couple of weeks since we had a game,” said Outlaws centre Aidan Clauser. “If everybody shows up to practice and we do our stuff, everything’s going to get done and we’ll win. We’ll roll right over Cambridge (next time). There’s no doubt about it. Our O-line had to pick up a little in the back field. The Cambridge defence were okay, they weren’t amazing. I know we played the better game.”

The Outlaws Varsity squad are now 1-1 for the season. Their first game ended in an 11-3 win over the TNT Express from Beeton.

The Outlaws will meet the Express again this weekend when they travel to Beeton on Sunday, June 26, for a 5:30 p.m. game.

They will return to their home field at Westside on Sunday, July 3, to host Cambridge.

The kick-off is scheduled for 1:00 p.m.
