Photo-1 Once again on a Friday evening the Topper Football Team takes to Sullivan Field with Abran Chacon carrying the Topper flag and Alex Chavez carrying the hammer for a contest against the Gallup Bengals. On paper the two teams were matched up very closely and as the game progressed, the pregame prediction turned out to be correct. The first half was controlled by the Topper’s two quick touchdowns, as the Bangles struggled on both offense and defense. After halftime the Bangles got their game together and there was a full half of very exciting football. The Toppers prevailed 21-20 by holding the final Bengal attack to run the clock out and claim victory. Photo by John McHale/ladailypost.com
