Scott 8 Newport Central Catholic 7

[2 much info]

Really feel bad for the Breds as they let this one slip away.

 

1st half both teams traded possessions, however the Breds had a chance to grab the lead on their 1st possession. Ryan Hans lines up to kick a 37 yard field goal, but the snap is low...holder does a miraculous job with the placement, but the kick is wide right (not by much). Hans had PLENTY of distance.

 

With 7 seconds remaining in the 3rd the Breds dent the board on a John Harris 7 yard TD run. Set up by a nice 20 yard pass from Henschen to Jobe Freppon.

 

Then with under 7:00 remaining and the Breds with 3 consecutive 10 plus yard runs DISASTER.

 

I believe it was John Harris running the ball and after a 5 yd gain there is a big "pile-up" (this took place on the other side of the field from were I was sitting), the biggest Scott Linemen comes up with the ball and runs 10 yards down field (mind you, there is no whistle blowing the play dead) and then the chase is on. NewCath defender finally reaches him about the 3, but he makes in to the endzone for a 40 yard TD. Scott takes 2 timeouts and then goes for 2 on a QB keeper.

 

Just a heartbreaking way to lose the game, but you play till you here the whistle.

 

Kobe Tallon was an ANIMAL on defense with some bone jarring hits:scared:, and was surprised to see him running the ball and making catches on offense. :thumb:

 

Maleek Lawrence was Maleek Lawrence. "Hair-ball" and Jobe Freepon...nice job gentlemen.

 

The Breds run defense did a really nice job.

 

Learn from this one Breds and move on to next week.

 

Well put. Job*

Sounds like a pretty boring game. Wonder if it was bad offense or just good defensive on both sides. Smith would have helped NCC offensively.

More of bad offense

Good defense makes the offense look bad. Really impressed with the Breds run D last night, didn't allow the much bigger Scott line to open many holes.

[KentuckyJoe]

The Breds D was solid for sure

Scott struggled on the run game. But got a couple interceptions , and caused a fumble and held NCC to only one score. They also scored on a defensive play . I think it is fair to say both teams played good defense. Scott hurt in the penalties and the rushing game . Hats off to NCC on the line defensively. Scott has thier work cut out for them to get ready for Dixie next week .

I did get to see it & you're right about playing until the whistle. But even Tucker said he thought it was a dead ball but ran anyway - because he didn't hear a whistle. Tough lesson but a valuable one if they learn from it.

There is a thread about this young man on here, I believe. Great job, young man! Looks like he is living up to the expectations! :thumb:
