I've been mulling over a key play in this game. With 6:30 to go and leading 26-21, PCC was backed up on their own 30 and facing a 4th and 15. They faked a punt and picked up a first down with 2 yards to spare. They continued the drive and scored, offsetting a late KC TD.
Gutsy move or lunacy?
Perry Central fakes a punt from deep in their own territory on 4th and 15. Knox Central caught napping and with only 6:30 to go may have just sealed their fate.
Cody Diamond, big KC defensive lineman, intercepts PCC's first pass attempt and returns it for a TD. Diamond also kicked the PAT.
Knox Central 7
Perry Central 0
9:30 to go 1st qtr.
I'll take Knox Central because of the their D line. Offense has several weapons that have not quite synced so far. Hopefully, this will be the night it happens. Perry Central has a very good linebacker but KC is aware and prepared.
Canady rushes for 145, Gist for 95 and two TDs for Knox Central. Passing game was off tonight but Barger managed to scramble several times to keep drives alive. Defense, as usual, was excellent.
