G.W. Graham engineers amazing comeback with 39-point 2nd half
CHILLIWACK — It wasn’t just the pouring rain that threatened to derail G.W. Graham’s homecoming game Friday.
In a game marked by turnovers and big plays, the Grizzlies fell behind 20-6 in the first half due to a fumbled snap that Notre Dame returned for a TD, but G.W. Graham saved its very best for the second half by scoring 39 points in the second half en route to a remarkable 45-34 win Friday night at Exhibition Stadium in Chilliwack.
Despite challenging conditions, the rain-soaked pitch set the stage for an unforgettable battle. The Grizzlies were initially on their back foot by spotting ND a 14-point lead at halftime. However, the second half saw a spectacular reversal of fortunes as G.W. Graham’s offense ignited, scoring an incredible 39 points. Running back Denver Adam was instrumental in the resurgence with 200 rushing yards, while Michael Blair proved to be a dynamic and versatile weapon by contributing crucial plays from multiple positions. The offensive line, anchored by standout Jayden Heibner, dominated in the trenches and overwhelmed the Notre Dame defense in the second half.
