Who wins this one? East Jessamine starting strong on the season. 

I’m a little surprised at the lack of activity from Dunbar fans on these sites. I can remember when they first opened, lots of excitement about their football potential. 1991 and 92 were exciting years for them, boosters were starting to really gel and plan and then the wheels fell off except for a few good years. Had a cousin who ended up being on their first two teams. He was at Lafayette prior to that. Night and day difference between the schools. 

Dunbar played Lexington Catholic very closely. I think East wins however. 

East by 2 scores.

Don’t believe the score. LexCath was taking them to the woodshed when in wildcat. I think they took their foot off the gas, personally. Chaos defense Dunbar runs is held up by stout linebackers but is susceptible to RPOs if they stay in it. Should be interesting to see what East and Dunbars plans are to attack each other. 

Bump

Game time has been bumped up to 6:30 today not 7:30. Still at Dunbar. 

Arrived late due to traffic, 9:05 1st qtr, East Jessamine is up 8-0 and Dunbar has the ball. False start, 1st and 15, followed up with a good gang tackle. 2nd and 15, sweep around left end is good for 17. Next play anothe defensive meeting at the LOS, they’re giving them a yard 2nd and 9 at the 14, Dunbar in wildcat, little 14 is shifty and follows his blocks to pay dirt around right side. Going for 2. Stopped, 8-6 East leads with kickoff coming up and 6:53 left in the 1st quarter. 

Squib kick run back for about 5 fumbled and recovered by East. At the 43. Wright up the gut for 7. 2nd and 3, ASUN bars chaos defense breaks through, 53 throws a great block and Bentley takes it to the house for a TD! 2 point try fails. 14-6 East leads with 5:58 on the clock in the 1st

Squib kick run back to the 38. Dunbars option giving the D fits. Big run across midfield to the 38. Option play to the right loses 4. 2nd and 14 FB up the gut for no gain. Check down pass dumped to the right side for a gain of 9. 4th and 5. Rolling out left, throws a wounded duck, safety high points it but WR tips it to himself for a bobbling catch in endzone. Wow.

Wright met at the LOS. 2nd and 10. Again up the middle for a yard. 3rd and 9. Chaos defense from Dunbar is doing a good job they fly to the ball. Roll out to the right, toss to Morton leads him just a little too much. 4th and 8 now they say. Going for it. QB keeper up the middle gains maybe 5. TO on downs. Dunbar takes over at the 41. Odd spotting of the ball. 

First play QB rolls to his right, chased down by the D for a loss of 4. And correction, it is 14-13 not 14-14. End of 1st Qtr. comes at a good time for East D they need to regroup. 2nd and 14 as 2nd qtr starts. 11 for a jet around the left side and East sniffs it out. Just gains 2. 3rd and 12 coming up. Looks like a false start on the pass down the left side, East picked it off!  East ball at the 34. Break they needed. Bentley swings pass out to his left. Morton picks up 6. High snap handled great by Bentley. Hand off to Wright picks up 6 and the 1st down. Bentley swings another pass to his left, Cummins is the target this time, pick up of 5.

Wright takes handoff and dashes up the gut for the 1st down. Time out for injured Dunbar player. He met Wright at line of scrimmage and went down hard while play continued past him. Wright runs so hard. Load to bring down. Player walks off under his own steam. Number 8 for Dunbar. Handoff to Naylor gains 2. 2nd and goal from the 2. Defense not fooled, converges on Wright at LOS. 3rd and goal from the 2. Bentley’s high arcing throw is too long to the left corner. No chance for the receiver at all. Going for it in 4th and 2.
