BAINBRIDGE – Before Bainbridge-Guilford’s game with Moravia – a rematch from week eight in 2018 – Bobcats’ head coach Israel Lorimer said his team needed to take care of the ball as B-G forced up the ball in the 2018 clash.

With five turnovers in Friday’s contest, Moravia took an early 14-0 lead and held on for the remainder of the game to take the win over host Bainbridge-Guilford, 22-14.

The Bobcats were held scoreless in the first half but in the third, running back Garrett Ives punched the ball into the end zone from nine yards out with 1:35 left in the quarter.

Entering the fourth and final 15 minutes of play, B-G trailed the Blue Devils 22-6 after Moravia’s Kyle Witten tossed a 50 yard pass down field to receiver Nick Johnson and Hunter Purty converted the two-point try.

The Blue Devils’ Witten threw for all three touchdowns in the game scored by the visiting team – all three went to different receivers. The quarterback was 7-for-18 with 185 yards for the contest. Purty ended with 19 yards on the ground but caught the four passes intended for him and totaled 110 yards.
