Purples will host John Hardin next week in the 5A West Bracket Final!!!:dancingpa:dancingpa:dancingpa

If there were any doubters on Fant being Mr. Football, tonight should sealed it tonight. He only had 4 catches but for 166 yards with three TDs. Also threw a TD for 56 yards.

 

Give it to him!

This game was actually closer than the score indicates as BG stopped Graves on 4th down twice in the red zone in the first half, but this is where their tough schedule helps them as they just seem to always make plays.

 

I've got one word for you BGP fans: FANT

With the exception of the opening drive, the Purple defense did an outstanding job against a scary good offense. In addition to the fourth down stops deep in the red zone, the Purples intercepted the ball twice and rendered a fearsome ground game basically ineffective.

 

If tonight's performance by Nacarius Fant doesn't clinch Mr. Football/Player of the Year for 2013, I don't know what will! He now has 22 receiving TDs on the year and a 99 yd KO return against a very fast McCallie team. His receiving is impressive enough, but teams try any tactic they can to keep him from getting his hands on the ball returning kickoffs and punts! He piles up big numbers despite usually playing barely over one half of a game! His 22 receiving TDs are a new team record with two games to go. He set the team record of 19 last year.

 

Fant has 140 points this year to date. Teammate Blue Tisdale (RB) now has matched what he had last year (144) with his two rushing TDs tonight. Amazingly, Tisdale has the longest receiving TD for the Purples this year (82 yds v St Xavier)! With three TD passes tonight, QB Devin Hayes matched his school record for one season (40) set last year. He might not be an RG III type QB, but you'd be hard pressed to find a better drop back passer than Hayes! He set BGHS's all time career passing yardage record last week with over 5600 yards.

 

Sic 'em, Purple!!!:dancingpa:dancingpa:dancingpa:dancingpa

Purples keep rollin'....

Just an amazing team.
