North Bullitt 40 Bullitt East 14

[mh2365]

Great game played by North Bullitt. That is the team we expected all season long. Dalton Cissell had another great game.

 

Bullitt East never showed up for this game. Dumb penalties and turnovers hurt us the whole game. We'd stop North on first and second down (sometimes third down) only to give up a huge play for a first down or a touchdown.

 

We had 4 penalties give North a first down on 3rd or 4th down.

 

We saved our worst game of the year for the playoffs. That doesn't take away from the fact that North played an excellent game.

 

Good luck to the Eagles the rest of the way.

Wow! What a stunner. North finally played up to their ability and proved the pundits wrong. If they can get over this emotional game, they should be poised to make the run we thought they were capable of back in August.

Congrat to NB! Any game details?

Dalton Cissell 37 carries for 214 yds. RD Reynolds threw 2 TD passes on just 3 attempts and picked off 1 pass. North scored on 1st 4 possessions of 2nd half.

 

Cissell, a junior, has had a "quiet" year but now has 1,636 yds rushing to give him 4,825 yds in his career.

North played a great game ... Bullitt East never showed up. On 4 occasions BE gave up first downs on 3rd and 4th down by offsides penalties. Gave up 1st downs on 3rd or 4th and 15 or longer 3 times. Turned the ball over 5 to 6 times. Saved their worst game for the playoffs.

 

This by no means takes anything away from North, BE could have brought their A game and it still might not have mattered. When North doesn't committ stupid personal fouls and takes care of the ball there aren't many teams in 4A that can beat them.

 

They will beat Marion by 2 TD's at least come Friday night.

 

Good luck to the Eagles the rest of the way.

Thanks, MH -- Look forward to 2 more great games from these two squads next year. Hopefully, the 2nd one will be in Round #2.

North Bullitt must have played a great game. Congrats to them.
