Ryle's defensive stand late in the game was huge. Ryle fumbled the ball and SK took possession just outside the Raider 10-yard line with around 4 minutes left and a chance to tie the game. SK ran four plays (2 runs and 2 passes, I believe) and I'm not sure they gained any positive yardage. Ryle was able to run out the final 2 minutes of the clock. An absolutely terrific defensive effort by the entire Raider defense on this stand!

Based on history, I don't think that would have been a shocker to anyone.

Congrats to Ryle, they pretty much dominated the first 2.5 quarters, SK played well down the stretch, and were very close to having a chance to tie the game with about 2 minutes to play. Ryle's defensive front is small, but very fast, and they did a very good job containing Simpson for most of the game. The game didn't start well for SK, giving up the 98 yard KOff return for a Ryle TD. Then they came back with a nice drive that resulted in a fg from Nick Repka. SK's Qb was injured during that drive and didn't return until the 2nd quarter, during that time span they didn't move the ball well. Ryle looked to be the faster team and did a nice job running the rock. From the middle of the 3rd on, it looked the complete opposite, SK had some momentum and had multiple chances after stopping Ryle. Ryle up by 8 had the ball with about 5 minutes to go on their own 15 or so, the QB then threw a floater to a Ryle Rb, and it didn't fight the wind, resulting in a pass behind the line of scrimmage. SK recovered the ball and couldn't advance for a first down. At this point SK really is behind the 8 ball, but they still have games against BC and CC, both of which are very critical.

 

Simpson's 2nd TD of the night was a thing of beauty, if you haven't seen the kid play do yourself a favor, any play can turn into a highlight.

 

 

 

It was Chris, his son, who is the kicker. :thumb: I would love to see

 

Nick kick a 30 yard field goal though!! :laugh:

Man, I can't believe I had "Nick" as the kicker, the SK PA guy must have rubbed of on me. He called Chris Nick last week. Sorry Chris, I had to give your father some props, he's payed his dues while on the SK sideline.

I was parked right under the scoreboard working and happened to look see this play. It was awesome.

I saw you selling that Kona Ice, you had to be busy with all of those rugrats in the southe endzone. I seriously felt sorry for the police officer that had to patrol the "hill" area where I sat.

Not to thread-jack, but it does get crazy down there. I've almost had to report some kids to some authority figures for messing with the truck.

 

Back to Simpson, how grade is he in?
