GRIDLEY, CA (MPG) - On Oct. 5, the 8U Gridley Titans faced off against the 8U West Valley Eagles.

Both teams entered the game with a 4-2 record. The Gridley Titans played their best game of the year when it mattered most and came out of it with the victory. They won the game by a final score of 12-7. With a big game from running back Morgan Ruggirello who had more than 100 yards rushing and Adrian Thao who accounted for the two Titan touchdowns. 

The Titan defense, as a whole, had a great game. In the final three quarters of the game, the defense only allowed four first downs, which really helped the team to the victory.

The 8U Titans have another big game Oct. 12 against the Willows Jr Honkers, and they are looking to have another great performance.
