Final score from the varsity football game: Galva 22 Milledgeville 28

On fourth and long, Louck connects with Reid Harris on a 27 yard touchdown pass. Two point conversion run by Donovan. Sarver is good making it 22 to 14 Wildcats with two minutes left in the third.

And just like that, the Wildcats turn it over on the next play.

And the Wildcats might be in business. Milledgeville mishandles a punt, and the Wildcats recover inside the 10.

Milledgeville runs the opening kickoff of the second half back for a touchdown. Conversion no good. Tied at 14.

Louck's pass is intercepted at the goal line as time expires. Galva leads 14 to 8 at the half.

Huge momentum swing as Milledgeville attempts to go for it on fourth down in their own territory. Drace Powe hits the quarterback as he's throwing and Braxton Hulstrom picks off the pass. First down Galva on the Milledgeville 31 with just over two minutes to play in the half.

Donovan Sarver scores on a 2 yard touchdown run. Conversion attempt is no good. Wildcats lead 14 to 8 with 417 to play in the second quarter.

Milledgeville answers with a touchdown and two point conversion of their own. Score is now tied at eight with just under 11 minutes left in the second quarter.

And that's the way the quarter ends with the Wildcats on top 8 to 0. However, the Missiles have the ball fourth and one on the Wildcats 9 yard line.
