Our game of the week was right on the money as we travel to Jackie Robinson Stadium to watch the Dorsey Dons battle the Garfield Bulldogs and believe me folks the fans on both side got their money worth. The Dons behind their talented quarterback Reginald Bell was working his magic against the bulldogs as he scored on a 18 yard touchdown run in the first quarter to give the Dons a 7-0 lead. Later in the first quarter Dons' Jeremiah Allison caught a 9 yard touchdown pass from Bell to take a 14-0 lead.The Bulldogs showed they can play with the best of them got on the board in the first quarter with a 54 yard touchdown pass from Nicky Peralta to running back Lance Fernandez to cut the league to 14-7.

Now Dorsey was in a dog fight as the Bulldogs defense begin to clamp down on the Dons' offense as they couldn't generate any offense at all. Early in the 3rd quarter with 7:22 on the clock Garfield's quarterback Nicky Peralta struck again on a 21 yard touchdown pass to tide end Jaime Leija to cut Dorsey lead to 26-20. The Bulldogs were really fired up as once again the Don's offense couldn't scored again. Now Garfield was on the move with a chance to win the game with 26 seconds left in the game the Bulldogs' Jonathan Valles scored with a one yard run and the scored was tied 26-26. The Bulldogs had a chance to win the game but the extra point conversion was no good and the Dons knew they dodge a bullet as the game was going into overtime.

The Dons offense came to life in the overtime quarter and before you knew it the where on a the move once again as the offensive line began to take charge pounding the football against the bulldogs. Several plays later Dorsey's wingback Jaydon Mickens busted free to score on a 12 yard touchdown run and the Dorsey Dons defeated the Garfield Bulldogs in overtime 32-26. There is a knew rivalry in the city section between the Dons and the Bulldogs and the one thing i loved about both teams is that they showed great sportsmanship at the end of the game and both teams and coaches have a great respect for each other.
