Newberry’s Homecoming Takes a Turn as Limestone Powers Through

NEWBERRY, S.C. — It was an exciting Homecoming weekend at Setzler Field, where the atmosphere was buzzing with anticipation and school spirit. The sun was shining, and fans were decked out in their school colors. However, things took an unexpected turn as the Newberry Wolves faced off against the Limestone Saints. A thrilling game unfolded but left the home crowd a bit disappointed as Newberry fell short, losing 35-14.

Lightning Strikes Early

The game kicked off on a **positive note** for the Wolves. On their very first defensive play, KeSean Glover made an unbelievable interception of a Dustin Noller pass, bringing the crowd to their feet. Glover darted across the field, returning the ball to the Newberry 48-yard line, setting the stage for what seemed to be a promising drive.

Following the interception, the Wolves didn’t miss a beat. Dwayne Wright took charge, showcasing his skills with a strong 16-yard run that brought Newberry to an early 7-0 lead. The crowd erupted in cheers, thrilled by this strong start. It felt like **Homecoming magic** was on their side!

The Saints Strike Back

However, as the saying goes, “football is a game of two halves.” After Newberry’s quick lead, Limestone decided it was time to respond. The Saints got into gear and scored 21 unanswered points before heading into halftime, putting them in a commanding position with a 21-7 lead.

Fans could feel the tension in the air as the Wolves tried to find their rhythm again. Despite their enthusiasm and determination, it was tough sledding against the determined Saints. Limestone proved to be a formidable opponent, showcasing their offensive skills and capitalizing on every opportunity.

A Second Half to Remember

As the second half unfolded, the Saints didn’t slow down. They continued their offensive onslaught, extending their lead to 35-7. It was clear at this point that Limestone was hitting on all cylinders, leaving the Newberry defense scrambling.

The Wolves didn’t want to let their Homecoming slip away without a fight. Late in the game, they managed to add another touchdown, thanks to sheer grit and determination. The score now standing at 35-14, the fans erupted once again, hoping to see one last spark from the Wolves.

Looking Ahead

With the final whistle signaling the end of the game, Newberry was left to ponder their strategy and efforts as they prepare for their next matchup. The Wolves will be hitting the road next Saturday as they travel to take on Wingate, eager to bounce back from this tough loss. Following that, they’ll return home to end the regular season against Emory & Henry on November 16.

Despite the result, the spirit of Homecoming was alive and well, with local fans filling the stands to support their team. Some may feel disappointed with the outcome, but there’s always hope for that next victory. As they say, **every game is a new chance**, and the Wolves are ready to make their comeback!
