First-half scores stand up for Tecumseh

By Jason Grier

Tecumseh converted the plays it needed to get a win Friday night against Graham,  surviving a late-game push from Graham to get a 10-6 win.

Although it wasn’t the game the Arrows were expecting, Tecumseh’s coach Kent Massie said, “The biggest thing is, we were able to find a way to win.”

Andrew and another student attended a high school football game with me at Tecumseh High School on Sept. 9. Andrew was the photographer that night and got some great shots at what turned out to be a terrific game with a great finish. Tecumseh beat Miami Trace 26-21.

Andrew had two assignments. One was to put together a group of four photos that would be used in the next day's newspaper. The next was a group of 12 that would be used in an online photo gallery.

If you want to know more about the game, you can read the story I wrote for the Springfield News-Sun. I do a lot of freelance work for the newspaper.

Aviators run over Arrows

By Jason Grier

VANDALIA – Vandalia-Butler is off to a 2-0 start after beating Tecumseh 37-22 at home Friday night.

Butler gained 362 yards on the ground led by senior Tyler Jones who rushed for 257 yards on 26 carries. This is Jones’ second 250-yard game of the season. Jones says his success is because of the offensive line providing great paths for him to run.

“Those guys work really hard and they earn every bit of what we accomplish out there,” Jones said. “I owe it all to them.”
