Final.

Shows just how weak 3A west is!

This is one of the more amazing turn arounds I can ever recall.

I still don't think they bring Wyatt back!

Good ballgame. Turnovers played a big part in deciding the outcome.

 

PT only turnover came in the first quarter. Pinned inside their 5 after a R'ville punt, QB fumbles. R'ville recovers at 7 and scores two plays later. The Panthers scored again with 10:47 left in the half to lead 14-0. PT scored on a 51 yard pass play (great pass from #15) to make it 14-7 at the half.

 

R'ville got the ball first in the 2nd half. Assisted by a PT unsportsmanlike on 3rd and 19, they drove inside PT's 20. On 3rd down, Quarles rolls out, scrambles around and throws an ill-advised duck over the middle of the field that PT picks off. The Panthers ate up 8:19 on that drive and got nothing. Tilghman scores off this turnover and ties it at 14 with 10:22 to go.

 

After both teams trade punts, R'ville has a 3rd and 3 with about 5 minutes to go. Quarles pitches, RB fumbles and Tilghman returns it for a TD. R'ville goes 3 and out on next possesion, punts 8 yards, PT gets a few first downs and runs out the clock.

 

There is one thing I didn't understand though...........On R'ville's opening drive of 2nd half, they had a 3rd and 29. They run for a short gain, but PT is flagged for a 5 yard incidental facemask. After the penalty is tacked on, it is now 3rd and 19. Shouldn't the down advanced and it been 4th and 19? The next play is when Tilghman's sideline was assessed the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty to keep the Panthers drive alive. My feeling was that they were disputing the same thing. Maybe someone can help me here.

 

Good luck to the Blue Tornado next week.

This is one of the more amazing turn arounds I can ever recall.

 

I think it's more that 3a on this end of the state isn't that good

I think it's more that 3a on this end of the state isn't that good

 

I'll have to disagree. Union wasn't too bad; Russellville was a quality opponent. Tilghman was a mess early in the season. They are playing good ball right now.

 

I do agree that 3A is weak on this end of the state, but that isn't reason Tilghman has made it this far.

What are the thoughts of the PT/Lou Central game?
