All Saints 45- St Marks 23
This is sure not as fun as the first two blogs, but we did
do a lot of good stuff on Friday night. We win the toss & defer. With good
coverage on kickoff, All Saints starts on their own 27. First down is QB rollout, Reid
Thompson reads the pattern, jumps the route, goes high for the catch and tips
the ball forward and an alert Stephen Rambin has an interception and we start
on the AS 32 yard line. The players, coaches, band, cheerleaders and parents
are going nuts. Coach Epp goes for the jugular on first down, John Webb throws
a great touch pass and John Caldwell runs under the ball at the 2 yard line and
strolls in. In 21 seconds into game and it is 7-0 St Marks. WHAT A START!! Jacob Wilner after PAT has good kickoff into
the end zone. AS starts on their 25
and run seven plays, good tackles on running plays by George Law and Otto Martinek, a holding penalty, a QB scramble on third down that gets a first down
and three incomplete passes and AS is punting
from their 44 and defense with good series.
Danny Koudelka with fair catch and we start at our own 21.
Short pass complete to Kendrick Spraglin and then Webb hits Caldwell in traffic
with a 12 yard pass and first down. We then misfire on three passes and we punt
from our own 35 yard line. AS starts on their 33 yard line. Good tackles by Rambin & Bear Goldstein
on running plays, good pass defense by Goldstein on a long pass and after a
short pass and first down on the AS 48, the next play is a sweep to our right
side and the AS running back goes 52 yards for the tying TD, PAT is good and
score is 7-7 with 7:13 left in the first quarter.
We start at our own 16 after short run by Danny Koudelka on
kickoff. Three straight completions by Webb to Koudelka for 4, Spraglin good
catch in traffic for 11 yards and first down. Webb to Thompson for 8, then on 2nd
& two from the SM 39 yard line, Justin Jones on a handoff makes a defender
miss in the backfield and has a determined, tough run for 24 yards to the AS
37 yard line. Good initial block by Michael Doorey and downfield blocks by
Thompson & Caldwell. It was interesting to me that as the SM offense was
lined up before the Jones run, there were 3 or 4 defenders who were looking at
their wrist band cards for the defensive play number and were not really ready
for the play. My son tells me (sometimes we actually talk), that the offense
could go a lot faster with our no huddle NASCAR (that’s what the team calls it)
offense but the referee does not put the ball in play quickly enough and it actually gives the
defense time to rest and or substitute. First and ten and the Webb to Caldwell show
strikes again, great protection and Webb throws a bullet to the streaking
Caldwell who catches the ball at the 18 yard line and again strolls into the
end zone!! John Webb is now 9 for 12 and
two touchdowns and he hasn’t been touched. Great protection by tackles Dominic
Garcia and Victor Calvillo and guards Tommy Gudmundsson and Cole Labhart and
center Doorey. Also as Malcolm Bowman
did a great job last year as a blocker and we expect the same this week or next
from Bowman, Justin Jones is also doing his job picking up the blitz or double teaming
an elusive D lineman. Wilner PAT is good
& it is SM 14 AS 7.
We kickoff and great hustle and tackle by Martinek and
Rambin on the AS 18 yard line. AS gets two first downs and they have two
penalties, solid defensive plays by Jimmy
Papin and Goldstein on a hit, Luke Williams for a good hit, Rambin & Papin
on a run blitz for a three yard loss, Mac Labhart and Goldstein fighting off
three blockers for a TD saving tackle and Goldstein again for a long pass
defense. AS is punting from their own 38 yard line. Koudelka with a mildly
dangerous high catch of a punt, but he is an athlete, catches punt at his 20, makes two guys miss and
returns it 24 yards to give the offense great field position at the SM 44. On
second down Webb hits Spraglin for 15 yards and first down and then hits
Thompson for 12 and first down at AS 26 yard line. On first down we fumble on
the handoff and they recover at their own 25. Kellum Hall and Mac Labhart with
big hits on first down, incomplete pass and then penalty and then on third and
long AS hits a long pass for 36 yards to SM 41 yard line. END OF FIRST QUARTER.
St. Marks 14- All Saints 7.
Two real solid plays
by Luke Williams on first down he attacks from safety position and nails runner
after 3 yard gain and on second down he strings out blocker and gets the tackle

safety spot nails runner for 3 yard gain, 2nd down K. Hall with good QB pressure and Law sacks QB for 7 yard loss, 3rd

really hurt. I think the coaches and players would love to see these guys
