The 105lb team let one slip away this weekend. The lopsided score, 26-14 clearly was not indicative of how we measured up against Bristol. We came out in the first quarter and stopped them for no gain and were able to force a turnover. Offensively we pounded the ball off tackle and kept them guessing until we scored.
As things were working so effortlessly in the first quarter the second proved to be the turning point. Bristol came out and began executing plays with an inside counter and running around the ends to put together a drive that led to their first touchdown. Once we got the ball back things seemed to fall apart for the Generals. We had a few miscues and couple turnovers that Bristol took advantage of. From that point on it was tough for us to get back into the game.
In spite of the outcome the coaches were pleased with the effort the boys are showing. I’d like to mention a few of the kids that had a great game this past week. Blake Anderson, who played exceptionally well on special teams and cornerback; Charlie Baker, who is as solid as they come as an offensive tackle and fills in on the defensive line when his number is called; Matthew Dwyer, who shares a large responsibility of controlling the offensive line; Timmy Scudder who gives up some lbs. every week to play the defensive line, but makes a tremendous impact; and Elliott Calloway, who threw a halfback option pass for a touchdown late in the game. Great game guys, keep up the good work.
