It
was one of those rare games where everything went
according to plan.
Grundy,
experienced and loaded with seniors, dominated for three
quarters and easily defeated a young, but improved Twin
Valley squad, 51-6, in the season opener for both clubs
Friday Night at Nelson Memorial Field.
The
Golden Wave played well early, scoring on every possession
in the first half.
Tyler
Berglowe ran for 87 yards and three touchdowns, all before
halftime, as Grundy took a 38-0 lead at the break.
John
Kelly threw three touchdown passes overall, two to Dillon
O'Quinn, including a 12-yarder four plays into the game
and a 21-yarder early in the second half.
Kelly
added an 11-yard touchdown pass to sophomore Nick Travis
early in the second period. The 6-foot-4 senior threw just
six passes and completed four for 66 yards.
The
execution was far from flawless, but Grundy, which scored
both its second half touchdowns after Twin Valley
turnovers, played awfully well for the first game of the
regular season.

Grundy Volleyball
to Feature Mix of Experience and Youth
|
|
by
Lloyd Combs
Sports Reporter
In this, it's last season as a
member of the Southwest District, the Grundy volleyball team hopes
to make the season a memorable one.
The Lady Wave have a mix of
experience and youth, and talent, enough to improve on last year's
2-and-18 overall record and enough to surprise a few people in the
SWD, where Grundy was 0-and-12 last season.
Seniors
Emily Rife, Morgan Reynolds, Katelyn Cantrell and Kaitlin Hess
return, and they're joined by a junior varsity group that owns an
SWD championship.
As
soon as they get used to playing together as a unit this year's
squad has a chance to turn a few heads on their way out the SWD
door.
"Even
though we lost a lot of seniors from last year, this year's team
is a well-balanced group of girls with both experience and
youth," Grundy coach Brittany Clevinger said. "There are
four seniors who have played since eighth grade and they all got a
lot of playing time on the varsity last season.
