FISHERS - The Fishers Freight headed to Green Bay to take on the Blizzard for the first time this season. After a back-and-forth first half, Green Bay took the lead in the second and ultimately defeated the Freight 55-39.
FIRST QUARTER
The game got off to a quick start as Freight newcomer Calum Sutherland kicked the ball off, only for Green Bay's Jazeric Peterson ran it back for an immediate touchdown. After a good kick, the Blizzard were up 7-0.
After Keegan Shoemaker was placed on injured reserve (IR) after last week, the team signed Carlos Davis who got the start today. He found Isiah Cox in the end zone on the Freight's first drive to tie the game 7-7 after Sutherland made the extra point.
Sutherland added two more points with a successful deuce on the kick off to make it 9-7 before the Blizzard got the ball back.
On the Freight's next possession, Green Bay held them from advancing. Sutherland attempted a long field goal but the ball hit the scoreboard, resulting in the ball being placed on Green Bay's 20-yard line.
Freight coach Dixie Wooten challenged a play late in the first quarter after a long drive by the Blizzard. The false start was overturned which helped the Freight hold Green Bay to not scoring again in the quarter.

With one last chance in the half for Green Bay, they drove the ball down but did not have enough time to score a touchdown. Instead, they attempted a field goal and initially it looked good, but the Freight used another challenge to say it was not good.
