Elecs Football Team 1-2


The ECS Elecs Football team were hoping to make an impact in their home opener, but things didn't go there way as they were defeated by the Peacock Tornadoes 26-3.

The Elecs struggled early as they only managed to take the opening kickoff to their own 10 yard line. After a quick two and out from the offence, the Tornadoes were able to take control at the Elecs 50 yard line. Then Tornadoes would then drive up the ball into the end zone to make the score 7-0.

Following another quick offensive series for the Elecs, the Tornadoes would get the ball deep in the Elecs territory, and would manage a field goal to make the score 10-0, which would hold up at the end of the first quarter.

With the wind behind their backs in the second quarter the Elecs defence were able to hold the Tornados deep in their own territory which forced them to conceed a safety. A Kyle Hovind single late in the first half made the score 10-3 after two quarters.

The Elecs were unable to regain any momenteum in the second half, early in the third quarter the Tornado running back took a sweep and ran for 40 yards to the Elecs 20 yard line. The Tornadoes would score two plays later to make it 17-3. Late in the third quarter the Elecs had to give a safety to make it 19-3.

In the fourth the Tornadoes scored a late touchdown to make the final 26-3 the final score.

The Elecs will enter their bye week with a 1-2 record and will be in action on Saturday October 1st against Central in Moose Jaw.
