The suddenly surging Foster Bulldogs ruined Renton’s homecoming game on Friday, upending the Indians 34-32 at Renton Memorial Stadium, despite two kicks returned for touchdowns by Renton’s Maurice Hunter.
Renton scored in every quarter, but it was not enough as Foster just kept coming.
In the first, Renton’s Royal Dotson-Goode got the Indians on the board with a 2-yard run, but Foster countered and the teams ended the first with Renton up 7-6.
In the second, Renton’s Hunter returned a punt 50 yards for a touchdown and a two-point conversion made it an 8-point play, but the Bulldogs were able to score twice themselves and teams headed to the locker room with the Bulldogs up 20-15.
In the third, the Indians inched closer with a 36-yard filed goal to make it 20-18 entering the final frame.
In the fourth, the two teams traded blows with Foster scoring a touchdown and Renton’s Hunter taking the ensuing kickoff 90 yards for his second special teams touchdown of the game. Renton added another 7 points on a 7-yard touchdown pass from Drew Olson to Zach Hasson, but Foster was right there with another score of their own and as the clock ran down, Renton found themselves on the wrong side of a 34-32 total.
The loss drops Renton to 1-4 on the season and 1-2 in the Seamount. The Indians play Hazen on Friday at Renton Memorial Stadium.
