St X - Central updates

[miragesmack]

WOW! What a start.

 

Brutcher (X) has a 70ish yard run, but it's called back for a hold.

 

Central's King has a 94 YD run that is stopped inside the X 1 yard line.

 

Central cannot get it in from the 3 inch line, and turns the ball over on downs. Outstanding defense by the Tigers.

 

On the next play, Deuce Finch take the ball about 4 yds deep in the endzone, and runs it 99 yards for a TD. A fake on the XP, and X goes for two and gets it.

 

X up 8-0.

 

Whew. Thats the first few minutes of the game.

[miragesmack]

X holds Central to 3 and out, and gets a short punt for their effort, to about midfield.

 

Nice passing by Brutcher to go down field, and Deuce takes it the final 9 yards for his 2nd TD of the game.

 

X 15-0

[miragesmack]

Steven Goodwin blocks a Central punt, X has the ball on Central's 23 yd line.

 

End of 1st quarter.

[miragesmack]

1st play of 2nd QTR, Deuce runs around the end for his 3rd TD of the game.

 

X 21-0

[miragesmack]

Wow. Chris King of Central is a burner. He just ran 70 yds for a TD, following up his 94 yd run earlier. Maybe local teams should be watching him. Lot of big plays in this game.

 

X 22-7 (correction, X has 22, not 21)

X had to punt, but an awesome punt it was. Inside the 2 yard line. His first punt was inside the 5.

[miragesmack]

Weird series of events.

 

X holds Central, who has to punt. On the return, Finch is hit before he receives the ball. X opts to back up Central and have Central re-kick from their 3 yd line. The snap is mishandled, and the Central kicker is running around the endzone, in what would be an apparent safety. He amazingly eludes 3 X players and scrambles for a first down.

 

Unfortunately, an unknown player for Central is down on the field from that play, and he will be taken off on a cart. No news at this time.

[miragesmack]

X has given up just a little over 400 yards rushing all season. Tonight, with a minute beofre halftime, they have given up 260+.

 

Central almost scores a passing TD, but the WR juggles it before leaving the endzone.

[miragesmack]

Central goes for it on 4th down in the red zone, but the Tigers hold (again) and get the ball back.

 

X goes nowhere fast, and are forced to punt with 0:43 left in the first half. 0:38 left after ball is dead.

[miragesmack]

Central goes 3 and out, sack on last play. X fair catches the kick, and sets up the last 10 seconds with several wideouts. Central comes up big with a sack on Brutcher, and the time expires.

 

Central looked like it was gonna get whipped, but really buckled down after being down 22-0. They are having a monster running game against the Tigers.

 

Halftime score is 22-7.

Central gets the ball first, moves down the field a bit until a delay of game on 4th down stalls the drive. Central punts, bad snap and the kicker is tackled by the Hall brothers. No escape this time. Ball on Central 44.

[miragesmack]

Brutcher to Goodwin for a 27 yd TD pass. X 29-7

[miragesmack]

I love the way Central is playing, even though they are losing ground. They are aggressive, run well and hit hard. Deuce was running out of bounds in the 1st half, leisurely, and Central knocked him into the next zip code right on the sideline. They are just a consistent QB away from being really good. They didn't get their first completion until halfway through the 3rd period.

[miragesmack]

X takes over on downs, a long 4th down. Look like Central can't risk kicking, which has been a problem all game.

 

X TD, 1 yd TD run by Jermiah Neal.

 

X leads 36 - 7

 

Deuce has 10 carries - 179 yds - 3 TD's (just FYI since they just mentioned this stat)

[miragesmack]

Craig Brutcher (SR) gets to enter his first game of the season. He was injured earier this year and hasn't played due to a serious neck injury. They put him at free safety, 50 yds from the LOS. LOL! Glad he got in on SR night. Too bad he missed his whole season.
