John Glenn
Not Cleared for Takeoff
The Rockets came into week 7 headstrong. In the first half of the game, John Glenn capitalized on the offensive side of the ball.

On the defensive side, the Rockets struggled with the Tractors’ run game, which opened the field for key passing plays.
Fordson
Tractors Plowing their way to Playoffs
Fordson added to their win streak after Friday Night’s game, leaving them with a record of 5-2. The Tractors executed a good mix of the run and pass game early on. While their defense had some trouble in the first half, they were able to make game-changing adjustments after the half. They initially struggled with John Glenn’s running offense, although came out for the second half and made key stops. They were also able to force the rockets to turn the ball over for the Tractor’s offense. Because of that, Fordson took control of the clock and kept the Rocket’s offense off the field.
Run, Run Bandar
Khalil Bandar worked the defense this week. He had 14 rushes, 160 yards, and two touchdowns. He also racked up some stats on the defense side of the ball with 8 tackles. Bandar’s run game this week also allowed the passing game to be set up for the Fordson Tractors.
We also want to give a special thanks to our Fordson correspondent Taras “Big T” Terleckyj.
