After a convincing road win at Floyd 34-12 on Saturday, Sept. 26, the Magdalena Steers were defeated by Gateway Christian 22-14 on Saturday, Oct. 3.
Magdalena (2-4) will host Bataan Military Academy Sea Lions (1-3) at 7 p.m. Friday.
“As far as games won this season we’ve had our ups and down,” Magdalena coach Dave Marquez said. “We’re trying to work on improving our fundamental skill every week and building the program around that. Slowly but surely we’re building up our confidence with every game. In our last two wins, we just played like a team.”
Up until the last two games Daniel Hand and Taran Rogers have been sharing the quarterback position. Hand dislocated his shoulder Friday and is done for the season according to Marquez who added that there was a possibility that he would be back for the playoffs.
“We’re coming up with some game plans for this week,” Marquez said.
Gateway led 6-0 at the end of the first quarter. Magdalena scored in the second quarter on a 27 yard pass from Hand to Brice Milligan. Milligan caught a pass for a two point conversion. Gateway scored again in the third quarter and led 14-8 at the half. Gateway scored again in the third quarter putting them up 22-8. Magdalena scored before the end of the third quarter making the score 22-14.
“The fourth quarter was pretty much of a dog-fight but no one scored,” Marquez said.
