Final! South Oldham dropped a ball in the back of the endzone that would have sent the game into double overtime. Eastern is very fast on defense. South Oldham played their hearts out.

I hate to hear that. Sounds like a tough loss for Coach Holbrook, don't worry though... I think he'll get things turned around before too long.

FB-any details? Sounds like Coach Holbrook and SO have things going in the right direction. I saw them in some 7on7 stuff. Their kids play hard and compete. Whats the word on Eastern? Had heard that they did pretty well in their scrimmages. Any other details about them besides speed? Is it true that the game ended around 1:00am. Whats up with that?

Yes, the game did end at 1:00 a.m. South's Offense had a difficult time moving the ball on Eastern for most of the night. Eastern's defense is very fast and closes in on plays quickly. South took a 7-0 lead into halftime. Jay Gatto (sophomore) intercepted Eastern's QB and returned it for a TD. Gatto also caught a TD in the 4th. Qtr. Eastern scored 3 scores in the 2nd. half to take a 21-7 lead with 1:40 to go in the game. Kollenberg took a swing pass 64 yards down to the 1 yd. line when SO scored its second TD with Gatto's catch. SO then onside kicked the ball and got the ball at the 50 yd. line. 2 plays later, Cody Malone catches a 48 yards pass from Meek down to the 2 yd. line. Meek later scores on a scramble run. Eastern scored on its first play in OT and SO had several plays to score and on the last play the ball hit a player in the hands and he dropped the ball. I will name the player because he played his heart out. Unofficial stats, SO had 247 total yds. on offense and Eastern had 302. Eastern did have great scrimmages beating John Hardin and Nelson Co. in both scrimmages. South Oldham is starts 6 Sophomores and 6 Juniors on both sides of the ball. We also play several freshmen on special teams. Things do look brighter for the South Oldham progra.
