7th Grade Highlanders Football Defeats Orinda with Strong Defense

In a defensive struggle on the rain-drenched swamp of Coaches Field, the 7th grade Piedmont Highlanders made an early touchdown pass from Will Kalmbach to Dylan Han stand up for a 6-0 victory over visiting Orinda Intermediate. 


Andrew Jiang led a ferocious Highlander defense with an interception, and Josh Rogers and Kalmbach pinned the visitors deep in their own end with well-placed kick-offs and punts.


Marshall Petty played a strong game at quarterback, and Lucas Derr, Aidan Dixon, Clay Stern and Carson Gilliland filled out a defense that stuffed the Orinda attack. OIS had a late chance, but a long completed pass was called back for a penalty, and the visiting squad did not challenge again.


The Highlanders’ smothering  defense looks to shut down Stanley Intermediate in a game later this week.
