DeSales vs. Lexington Christian Academy (9/12) Predictions/Updates

[ATLCat]

Johnson running hard ut LCA Linebackers are playing very sound.

End of 1st.

7-6 LCA.

[ATLCat]

Scroggins scrambles to extend drive.

LCA DB crushes Johnson on a sweep for a loss and he is a bit shaken up. DeSales timeout facing 3rd and 13.

[ATLCat]

Deep pass not close, on 4th Down Scroggins is sacked and LCA takes over on their own 46.

[ATLCat]

Pass complete to Brown down at DeSales 38. 1st and 10 LCA.

Beautiful trick play. A jet sweep to  reverse WR to QB flea flicker variation and Nieves hits a wide open Moore for the long TD.

LCA 14

Desales 6

 

[DevilMayCare]

Perfect timing and execution on that flea flicker. 

The times I've watched LCA in recent years, the playcalling always seems to be on point.

[ATLCat]

LCA defense really neutralizing the Desales passing game. A pair of sacks and a three and out.

[ATLCat]

Pretty flare to Brown out of the backfield and he explodes into the crease and takes it to the house from 52 yards.

LCA 21

DeSales 6

7:55 in 2nd

[ATLCat]

Brown is one of the top Juniors in Kentucky and showing why. A dynamic All-Purpose back who has an explosive first step.

He was great as a Sophomore, but appears to be a step faster and a bit stronger in 2020.

[ATLCat]

DeSales needs to find something to free the power running lanes for Johnson.

The LCA defense is whipping them up front with their pass rush and when DeSales has been able to pass Scroggins has been errant. The LCA LB's are flying to the football and not missing many tackles. Matty Lebryck is a heat seeking missile.

As I type this Johnson wills himself to a long 1st Down breaking probably 5 tackles for a 20+ yard gain.

[ATLCat]

DeSales facing a 4th and Inches at the 46 and a big decision.

QB sneak succeeds and DeSales' drive continues.

[Tkinslow]

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a 4th and 52.

[ATLCat]

Just now, Tkinslow said:

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a 4th and 52.

May have been longer had DeSales not declined two of those flags!

[ATLCat]

Scroggins steps up into the pocket and hits Weinbrenner deep for a game changing score. Scorggins adds the conversion.

LCA 21

DeSales 14

3:10 in 2nd.

[DevilMayCare]

Big answer there from the Colts. LCA had a firm grip on momentum.

[ATLCat]

Huge drive for DeSales as they re-etablish the run and Scorggins shows poise and delivers the deep strike they have needed. We will see if this softens up that LCA defense.
