Congrats Breds. So much for those "pancakes"

After a quick 1st quarter, time wise, the Breds roll on. Mac Franzen was the star of the game tonight, running the ball and passing. Beside his 94 and 12 yard TD runs, he had a 76 yarder called back for a "phantom" holding call. Don't know the passing numbers, but he looked good there as well.

 

The Breds run defense with another "stellar" job tonight, curious to see the final numbers. Walton-Verona's Mason Compton had a few nice runs (34 and 15 yards), but other than that he was shutdown, as well as, Chris Lattimore. The Walton passing game was "hurried" all night by the Breds "D" line getting in the backfield, I think Kline complete only 2 passes all night, one on the 1st series and one on the last.

 

The 1st quarter Walton takes the opening kickoff and after a 1st down are forced to punt, but a "gift" running into the kicker call extends the drive. However, a few plays later Brandon Gray with the INT on the 2 and the Breds take over. Breds are forced to punt after one series, and the Bearcats likewise. The quarter ends with the Breds marching.

 

A few plays into the 2nd quarter, Mac Franzen hits Brandon Gray in the endzone for a 12 yard TD. Following a Walton-Verona 57 yard punt down to the NewCath 6, Mac Franzen takes off up the middle and hits the sideline and goes 94 yards for the score. The half comes to a close as Walton has a very nice "goal line" stand, as Jake Smith is denied the endzone on 4th and 1 from the 1.

 

Breds get the ball to open the 3rd quarter and a few plays in Mac Franzen again on a QB keeper outraces everyone down the sideline for the 76 yard run, but the "phantom" holding call brings it back. However, the Breds move the ball down the field and Jack Sutkamp finishes the drive off with a 1 yard run. On the extra point attempt, the snap is high and holder Mac Franzen races to the pylon for the 2pt. conversion. The Bearcats turn it over on downs on their next possession, and a few plays later Mac Franzen with a "nifty" run from 21 yards out pushes the score to 29-0.

 

The Breds Jake Smith scores from 10 yards out less than a minute into the 4th on one hell of a run to start the running clock. Walton again turns the ball over on downs and the Breds end the game taking a knee at the Bearcats 13.

 

Congrats to the Walton-Verona players and staff on yet another great season (9-3 overall), this is a program heading in the right direction year after year. :thumb:

WV is building a nice program.

 

However, they're not there yet.

 

Congrats to both teams.

This is back to back years WV put up really nice W L records in the regular season. Is it a problem of scheduling with WV? Do they need to start getting some tougher games on the schedule next year?

I think their schedule is fine. The alternative is playing NKY 5A and 6A teams or Beechwood and hard to do that with a 30-35 man roster. They just need to string some classes together and get a little deeper to play with the better 2A teams.

Tough that WV had to play NCC in the 2nd round. I doubt WV has another season as good as this. Congrats to NCC. We will see you in Warsaw!

Big win for NewCath!

Big win for NewCath!

Good call on this one BTW.

Congrats to NCC on a nice win, and W-V for a great season. Those boys will always have a great season to look back on.

Congrats NewCath and Mr. Faithfull Lawnboy13, I said it early and I will say it again NewCath in 2A football would definitely make alot of noise in the playoffs. Every year they play a brutal schedule just to get ready for playoff competition now go out and win it all. JD

Newcath always plays well this time of year. I agree with JD, tough schedule early leads to late season confidence and execution.

 

I assume Gallatin County will host Newcath Friday night?

Hopefully the basketball parents don't have kids playing football.
