Football Recap: Gettysburg Turns Things Around After Road Loss

There's no place like home for Gettysburg, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Friday. They walked away with a 43-34 victory over the Waynesboro Indians on Friday. The Warriors pushed the score to 43-13 by the end of the third, a deficit the Indians cut but never quite recovered from.

Grant Johnson had a dynamite game, throwing for 361 yards and four TDs while completing 75% of his passes. Gettysburg's leading receiver Kash Kessel was Johnson's top target yet again, picking up 154 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns.

Special teams also deserves some recognition, posting 16 points in total. The biggest highlight from special teams (and perhaps the team as a whole) came courtesy of Julz Warren, who ran a punt back for a touchdown.

Despite the loss, Waynesboro saw an underclassman step up: sophomore Larry Taylor picked up 71 receiving yards and one score, and also rushed for 55 yards and one TD on only seven carries.
