Holland
Christian played their last game of the season on Friday night, as
they took on the Unity Christian Crusaders. In the first quarter,
Unity fumbled a punt return and the Maroons were there to jump on the
ball at the 31 yard line. Immediately after that, Caleb VanderLugt
connected with Kyle Steigenga for a 31 yard touchdown pass. Bryce
Eggers tacked on the extra point making the score 7-0 Maroons. Unity
was able to string together multiple runs to score a touchdown of
their own to make the score 7-7 at the end of the first quarter. In
the second quarter, Unity Christian was able to score an 87 yard
touchdown run making the score 14-7. After a Holland Christian punt,
Unity was able to score another touchdown, extending their lead to
21-7. With a minute left in the first half, the Maroons were able to
battle back to score a 32 yard VanderLugt-Steigenga touchdown.
Holland Christian decided to go for a trick play 2-point conversion.
With both the offensive and defensive lines on the side of the field,
only the snapper, the holder, and the kicker were in the middle of
the field for the Maroons. For Unity, there were only a couple
defenders in the middle of the field. Holland Christian snapped the
ball to Steigenga, the holder, who came up with the ball and threw a
short pass to a wide-open Casey Meyaard to make the score 21-15. With
only seconds left in the first half, Unity Christian missed a short
field goal attempt, making the halftime score 21-15.
Towards
the end of the second half, Unity was able to score a touchdown, and
they were able to capitalize on the 2-point conversion giving them
the 29-15 lead. After a couple of possession changes, Unity was able
to score another touchdown making the score 36-15. On the next
Holland Christian drive, Caleb VanderLugt connected with Jake Kalkman
for a touchdown. Eggers added the extra-point to make the score
36-22. The game would end with that score of 36-22 in favor of Unity
Christian.
With
this, the Maroons season comes to a close with a record of 4-5.
