Grants Pass Cavemen Football 20-27 Sheldon

It was a tough night in Cavemen country, as Grants Pass dropped a 27-20 decision to Sheldon on Friday. The Cavemen fought hard and kept it close, but in the end Sheldon had just enough to walk away with the win and hand Grants Pass its second loss of the season.

The Cavemen showed plenty of fight, putting 20 points on the board and making Sheldon earn every bit of that final margin. There were moments where it looked like Grants Pass might find a way to claw back into it, and credit to the kids for not folding when things got tough. But a seven-point swing is a seven-point swing, and Sheldon made the plays they needed to when it mattered most.

Grants Pass now sits at 4-2 on the season, still well within striking distance in the standings as the schedule rolls on. One loss doesn't define a team, and the Cavemen have shown more than enough this year to bounce back strong. The focus now shifts to next week, and you can bet the Cavemen will come out hungry to get back on the right side of things.
