Offense Struggles, Indians 38 Crusaders 00

The 2017 IRONDUKES squad got their first taste of defeat Friday, on the road at Andale, losing 38-0. The Indians, larger, quicker, deeper and all the other 'ers, controlled the game, sputtering a little in the 2nd qtr due to some good defense by our boys in red. The last part of the 2nd qtr this season has been a productive time for the Crusaders. Friday at Andale, the defense shined as the half approached.

The annual Crusader Club Hamburger Football Scrimmage was held Thursday evening down at Sellers Park. Football players from1st grade through 12th took their turns during the scrimmage to show off their football skills in front of the large crowd of parents, fans and friends. It was a beautiful evening weather-wise and the hamburgers were quite tasty!
