Final

JR Brandon Green scores three TDs and JR Hunter Neveras scores two TDs as the Purples roll again. East ends the BGHS shutout streak with two scores in the game. More to come in the morning!

 

The Purples travel to the Dungeon to do battle with old rival Owensboro next week. Should be a great test for both squads!

 

The only score in the first qtr was a three yd run by JR Hunter Neveras. Will Porter ran in the 2pt conversion and, with 4:03 left in the first, BGHS led 8-0.

 

At the 9:07 mark in the second qtr, JR Scooter Hollis ran it in from the eight yard line. JR Peter May booted the PAT, and the Purples led 15-0. With 7:05 left, lightning struck in the form of JR Brandon Green, who sped in from 44 yards. May again hit the PAT, and the Purples led 22-0. With only 20 tics left on the clock, BGHS finally surrendered the first points of the season. Nathan Nelms caught a short five yd pass from Christian Flores. Khyree Boards knocked the PAT through, and the Purples led 22-7 at the half.

 

BGHS blew the game open in the third qtr. Neveras started the scoring parade by running 50 yds to paydirt. May knocked home the PAT, and BGHS led 29-7 with only 44 seconds gone in the third qtr. With 8:41 left, Green set sail on a 64 yard run. May nailed the PAT, and the Purples led 36-7. At the 5:25 mark, May hit on a 35 yd field goal to give the Purples a 39-7 lead. Then, with just 1:47 left in the qtr, Green scored another rushing TD, this one from three yards. May nailed the PAT once again, and the Purples led 46-7.

 

Blake Pillow ended the Purples' scoring parade with a one yd plunge 11 seconds into the fourth qtr. JR Sam Williams booted the PAT, and BGHS led 53-7. Adarius Barnett had a six yd run with 2:27 left in the game. Boards kicked the PAT, and made the final score 53-14.

 

The Purples are now only six wins away from 600 all time! Sic 'em, Purple!!

 

I was surprised at how well Warren East moved the ball in the first half. I think they acquitted themselves very well, though Bowling Green hit the afterburners in the second half.

 

Neveras has been a welcome addition to Bowling Green. Greenwood's loss has been their gain. I do wonder if they didn't realize how good Greenwood would be when they decided to leave, but his role has been much much greater than I anticipated it would be.

I may be wrong, but I don't believe the move had anything to do with football at Greenwood or BG.
