Way to go Coach Hawk and crew!

Way to go Coach Hawk and crew!

 

Thank you. Kids played hard. Big win for this program. Shocked a lot of people.

Nice win for my alma mater. This one wasn't quite as exciting as the OHS / Reitz game but still and good game in a great setting at the Reitz Bowl. I love watching games there.

 

I've seen better Mater Dei teams, but this is a still a nice win for a program that is still finding their identity. Mike Goebel has coached the Wildcats for what seems like forever. ( had to look it up, because I felt like it has been since I was in school at Apollo, turns out it was not quite that long, just since 97.) Anyway in 21 years he has won over 75% of his games only losing 63 in total, counting last night.

 

Mariano (sp?) McKenzie got things started early with about a 75 yards TD run. The Eagle kicker then added about a 37 to 38 yard FG which I though was really good considering the on again off again rain and wet conditions.

 

All in all a nice road win for the Eagles in front of a pretty large home crowd.

Proud of the folks at Apollo across the board. They have really put the work in to turn this program around and this was a proof of that turn around. The offensive line is really living up to the hype, as it looked like they dominated the line of scrimmage, especially in the run game. McKenzie went over 200 yards again this week. Colby Clark is exactly the type of QB that can run this offense well. On defense, kids were flying all over. Seemed like they made some nice adjustments at halftime and shut Mater Dei out in the 2nd half. Wes Knott is the best kicker ive seen at Apollo since Brad Wilkerson(yes the former Montreal Expo!). Big time kick to tie the game(had the game winner vs Graves last year). Maybe that #win10 isnt as far out of reach as a lot of people thought it was.
