2014 Football September 5-6 @ Adrian

It was a very eventful weekend for the Maroons: 12 hours of traveling, 3 hours of game delay, and a game that lasted about 25 hours from kickoff to the final whistle. On Friday night, the Maroons and the Adrian Maples played eleven minutes of scoreless football before a storm interrupted them. After nearly three hours of lightning, the game was laid off until Saturday night. Holland Christian packed up their things and headed home to Holland. Eleven hours after arriving back at Holland Christian, they got on the bus and headed back to Adrian.
The first quarter eventually came to a close with a 0-0 tie. The Maples began the second quarter with a touchdown. Holland Christian's next drive was highlighted by a 30 yard pass from Jared Stygstra to Jake Kalkman, and a 10 yard touchdown run by Jared Stygstra. At halftime, Adrian had a 14-7 lead.
The Maples extended their lead to 28-7 by scoring two touchdowns in the third quarter.

Holland Christian added seven points after Jared Stygstra found Alex Bosch on a 4th and 9 goal line pass. Later on in the fourth quarter, the Maples found themselves on top 42-14. In the final minutes of the game, Lukas Bruxvoort caught a 40 yard pass from Stygstra to put them at the 12 yard line. David Williams finished off the game's scoring with a 12 yard touchdown run. In the end, the Maroons lost 42-20. Holland Christian will return home on Friday, September 12, as they host Grand Rapids Catholic Central.
