Grand Valley ace physical test in win over Ravenna Southeast! The Grand Valley football team faced a physical challenge on Friday - and passed in flying colors. Coming up against the vaunted single-wing offense of Ravenna Southeast, the Mustangs flexed their muscles in the trenches and took a 28-14 victory. The win gives GV a 2-0 record heading into next week's showdown against Fairport. "It really was a physical test," Coach Matt Rosati said. "We knew it was going to be a physical game. Our guys played really, really well. I couldn't be happier." Senior Luke Giddings topped 100 yards rushing for the second straight game and gave the Mustangs a 7-0 lead heading into the half with a 15-yard run to open the game. Caden Rowland had another big game on the ground and made it 14-0 in the third with a two-yard scoring run. But to that point, the story of the game was on defense. The single-wing offense is a run-based set that is designed to wear teams down and chew up big yards on the ground. But that wasn't going to happen against the Mustangs - not on this day. Rosati said the single-wing offense is difficult to prepare for, primarily because so few teams run it. But the defensive staff, including coordinator Rich O'Keefe, kept Southeast's attack at bay. Even when Southeast scored in the second half, GV answered. "Hunter Doing had an outstanding game setting the edge to stop the run," Rosati said. "Jeremiah Corll and Jessie DeLisle also played really well up front. Kingston Barnes had another great game, as did Lukah Mramor." Quarterback Carter Turk plunged in for a one-yard run in the second half, and then closed out the home team's scoring with a 20-yard touchdown pass to Turner Hejduk. It's the second week in a row Hejduk, a promising freshman, hit paydirt. "Our ability to run the ball so well with Luke and Caden really sets up the pass," Rosati said. "As the game goes on, teams focus to stop those two guys and it opens things up. Carter did a phenomenal job leading us. He pulled the ball and scored on a run and then made a real nice pass to Turner for a touchdown. "Our guys did a really good job all week preparing and then being physical when we needed to be." Grand Valley plays a third home game on Sept. 4 against Fairport. A year ago, Fairport hammered a short-handed GV team, 42-6 - a result the Mustangs have not forgotten. A win would also give the Mustangs their first 3-0 start since 2018 when GV bested Jefferson, Berkshire and Cardinal to start the season. "We're looking for some revenge in this one," Rosati said of the game with the Skippers. "That loss last year didn't sit well with us. We're looking for a good week of preparation and a good game to show who we are."
