Bogota Football

 18-October-2021

   On Saturday the Bogota Football Bucs played the Palisades Park Tigers at home on Feigel Field. Bogota would recieve the opening kick-off but could not maintain possession and had to punt. On the Tigers opening drive they would get into scoring position thanks to a 70 yard run by Tyre Porter.  Mr.  Porter was tracked down by Bogota's Siffredo Gonzalez short of the goalline.  A few plays later Tyre Porter was able to finish the drive with a 6 yard Touchdown run.  The Bogota defense was able to block the extra point and the score had the Tigers leading 6-0.  After a Bogota run into the endzone was called back to to an offensive penalty, and Bucs would again be on a drive down the field.  This time Gabriel Nunez would have a 9 yard rushing touchdown. The extra point was unsuccessful and the game was tied after the first 12 minutes 6 to 6. Bogota would have the only score of the second quarter when Gabriel Nunez forced his why into the end zone for the major score. Andreas Cabrera converted the extra point to give the Bucs a 13-6 lead at the intermission. 

   After the restart Palisades Park  put together a drive that moved them deep in to Bogota territory. The Tigers tried to continue to hold possession on a fourth down and long, but were stopped from getting the first down.  Bogota could not sustain any offense and had to punt the ball back to the visitors. Gabriel Nunez punt would get added by the breeze and land inside the Tigers ten yard line. The Bucs defence would again keep Palisades Park from getting a first down and they need to punt the ball away. This time the wind cause the ball to come down  close to where it was kicked from and gave Bogota another scoring chance. Gabriel Nunez found enough space on near the right sideline to record his third touchdown of the day from 15 yards out. Andreas Cabrera  again converted the extra point put the ahead Bucs by a score of 20-6. Neither team was able to score in the final quater and Bogota ran out the clock for a 20-6 home win.
