The varsity football team improved to 2-1 on the season following a gritty win on the road against Carroll this week. The Blue & Gold came out fast, opening up a 20-6 lead early, but Carroll stormed back in the second half and closed the lead to 20-18 with 4:00 to play. With the game on the line, Belmont Day turned to their team captains to steady the ship and produce a score. Calum Dunbar (QB) and Jun Murakami (RB) marched the team down the field with big play after big play. Dunbar capped off the scoring drive on a fourth and goal pass to Lee Piechota and then sealed the game with another strike to the sure-handed wide receiver to seal the game. Carroll added a final score as time expired but failed to convert the conversion. The Blue & Gold will look to keep it rolling next week against Shady Hill.
