Charlevoix pulls off second straight comeback victory against a rival
For a second straight week, Charlevoix football saved its best for the second half, this time against rival Boyne City at home.
Charlevoix secured a second consecutive comeback victory, defeating rival Boyne City 28-12 in a high-stakes game. Coach Don Jess admitted the intensity of second-half comebacks takes a toll on his health, but he was pleased with his team's performance. The team rebounded from a 16-point deficit at halftime against East Jordan in Week 1 and then replicated that effort this week.
Charlevoix's offensive and defensive improvements were key to their success. Quarterback Conor Vondra ran for 80 yards and caught two passes for 35 yards, while Collin Jess intercepted a pass in the second half, shifting momentum. Running backs Collin Jess and Carter Greenacre each scored two touchdowns, Vondra added 35 yards on two receptions, and Landen Whisler and Kalen Titus each contributed on the ground.
Defensively, Charlevoix recorded 11 total tackles, led by Peter Yanchulis with six tackles and two sacks. The team will face their biggest challenge yet in a Friday, Sept. 11 road game against Kingsley.
