Patriots shut out Glenrock

The Upton-Sundance Patriots steamrolled the Glenrock Herders this past week, taking a 45-0 victory. The Patriots seemed to dominate both the offensive and defensive ends in the first half as Patriot Quarterback Keaton Mills found Luca Brooks twice in the first quarter for a 35- and 28-yard reception pass into the endzone.

Mills then made a 42-yard run in the second quarter to put the Patriots up 19-0 at the end of the first half of play. 

The total field domination continued into the second half of play as the Patriots stunned the Herder defense, scoring three more times throughout the third quarter. Mills found his way into the endzone on a one-yard run in the opening minutes of play, and shortly thereafter Mills was able to find Brooks once again for a 44-yard reception touchdown.

While the Herders worked some time off the clock throughout the third, it was the Patriots in the endzone one more time as the final seconds of the quarter ticked away.

Reece Barritt broke away for a 29-yard run into the endzone. A successful kick by Levi Rudloff put the Patriots up 38-0 with one quarter remaining. 

The final quarter of play brought Patriot Luca Brooks into the endzone one more time on a 41-yard reception topping the US Patriots' score at 45 for the night and bringing the subs into the game. 

It was an impressive offensive feat for the night as the Upton-Sundance Patriots, who ran a total of 18 plays from scrimmage, gained an average of 22 yards per play throughout the game. Of those 18 plays, they scored on seven and gained first downs on five. 

The 4-2 US Patriots will take on the 3-3 Big Horn Rams in their final regular season game at Big Horn on Friday. The winner of this game will become the #3 seed going into postseason play.
