Cardinals finished strong
Medical Lake fullback Cylas Puzycki struggles to add more yardage to a successful night as the Cardinals captured a strong victory over Davenport Gorillas last Friday night on Holliday Field in Medical Lake.
MEDICAL LAKE - The Cardinals got a pair of touchdown passes from Aiden Suddeth and used a 14-point third quarter to pull away from Davenport on Sept. 21 and claim a 36-16 non-league football victory at Holliday Field.
Suddeth connected with Dakotah Phillips for an 80-yard scoring play in the first quarter and Cruz Gomez followed with a 36-yard run in the second quarter to stake the Cardinals (1-2) to a 14-6 lead at the break.
After the Gorillas (0-3) took a 16-14 lead early in the third quarter, touchdowns from Cylas Puzycki, a 3-yard run, and a Suddeth 21-yard pass to Gomez took back momentum with the start of a 22-8 run by ML.
Phillips capped scoring with his 27-yard win in the fourth quarter.
Brock Gustaveson scored on a 3-yard run for Davenport and Beau Copenhaver's 14-yard pass to Caige Colbert accounted for the Gorillas' scoring.
Suddeth used his passes sparingly with two completions in four passes for 101 yards. Puzycki had 30 carries for 142 yards.
Medical Lake returns to Holliday Field, Sept. 27 to host Priest River at 7 p.m.
"This Friday's home game is our DECADES Game," athletic director, Dawn Eliassen reminds. "We're inviting MLHS alumni to attend. We'll be calling them down to the field for a recognition at half time."
