Anderson Gets Message at Halftime

CINCINNATI, ohio – Anderson scored 20 unanswered third quarter points to pull away from Mount Healthy. Trailing 19-14 at halftime the Redskins stormed out of intermission with a vengeance getting a pair of touchdown runs by Bennett Snyder and a second scoring reception by Eric Curless to seal the Owls fate.

Anderson senior Joey Newton was a handful for Mount Healthy to contain. Following the games first score on a nine-yard run by Owls junior Brandon Lamier, Newton took the ensuing kickoff 84-yards to the house. A minute later, after a Mount Healthy turnover, Newton threw a touchdown pass to Curless on a razzle-dazzle play that completely fooled the Owls defense. It was the first trip to the end zone for Curless, at the varsity level.

Lamier had a game high 129 yards rushing and three touchdowns. Quarterback Michael Crawford picked up 124 yards on the ground for the Owls.
