Gatewood was off to a great start this past Friday against Trinity Christian.
Senior Hunter Johnson scored first, catching a pass from Ben Brannen to give the Gators an early lead.
The extra-point attempt was blocked, however, and less than 90 seconds later, the Crusaders were up 7-6, a lead they never relinquished. They eventually took a 28-12 win home to Dublin.
