It was a tough four quarters when the Orangeville Outlaws Varsity team went to Beeton to play the TNT Express in the first game of the season on Sunday, May 29.

The game was a solid defensive effort for both teams that kept the score low and didn’t allow for a whole lot of movement on the field.

The first pass interception of the game came early in the first quarter when Orangeville’s Jaiden Corbett snagged the ball to give the Outlaws possession.

Josh Van Amelsvoort followed up with a second interception.

On defence again, the Outlaws again got the turn around by grabbing a TNT pass in the air.

The Outlaws were first on the scoreboard when QB Fisher Brown threw to Sean Reiners who made it across the goal.

Another Orangeville interception placed the ball back in the Outlaws hands when Brendan Annett grabbed the ball for the turn around.

The second half saw the Outlaws starting out deep in their own end on the 12 yard line.

After failing to dig out of the hole, they were forced to punt.

Late in the third quarter with the line of scrimmage at mid field, Kyle Tuohy broke through the TNT line to drop the Express quarterback for a loss of yards.

The Express got on the scoreboard late in the quarter on a nice 40 yard field goal that gave them three points.

The Outlaws put out a late game effort driving deep into the TNT end.

They set up for the field goal to get some insurance points late in the game and Josh Van Amelsvoort placed the ball between the uprights for the points.

The final was an 11-3 win for the Outlaws.

The Outlaws Varsity team’s next game will be at home at Westside Secondary School in Orangeville when they will host the Cambridge Lions.

The kick-off is scheduled for 1 p.m.
