While the Bogota Defense, for the third straight game limited their opponent to only one Touchdown.
   Bogota took a 14-0 lead into the half and had some unsuccessful possessions to start the third quarter.  This gave the Panthers good field position to cut the score in half by the Three quarter mark. An 18 point final quarter saw Brennen Rodgers throw for one touchdown, and sneaking in for another. While Austin Urbaez ran for another long score.
    Some Wallington player showed their  frustration , and the Bogota players their passion with a few pushing incident near the end causing  Coach Nick DeStefano to calm down some of his players. This was echoed in his post game talk to his team. That the frustration showed by an opponent is a sign that the team is playing their game. But , with an away game next week the players must stay being the smarter players and continue the sportsmanship that is excepted.
