Chilly 50
degree Homecoming night.

16 yard line. First down Mac Labhart
takes on lead blocker and they fumble but recover. Third down nice open field
tackle by Thompson and its THREE AND OUT.
Short punt and we are hit with a 15 yard penalty and we start at the 33
yard line.
FIRST down
and a well-designed play, three receivers to the right, John Caldwell and John
Webb both fake a quick hitch pattern and the two outside DBacks jump the route
and Thompson runs right by the DB and is ten yards past him and Webb hits him
in stride at the GH 43 yard line and Reid runs and finally drags a tackler into
the end zone. 67 yard TD pass and catch. GREAT START. Greenhill rushed four and O line with a
perfect pocket. Wilner PAT is good.
SM 7 GH
0 Ten minutes left in first quarter.
We kickoff
and GH starts at their 25 yard line. They then go on an eleven play drive that
gets them three first downs and they then attempt a 32 yard field goal but get
a bad snap and no kick. FOUR minutes left in the first quarter. Good defensive
plays on this drive: M. Labhart chases RB on a sweep and he goes high and
Thompson goes low on runner. Nice open field tackle by M. Labhart on following
play. Papin buries a runner for no gain on a run blitz. Luke Williams good hit

We take over
on our 26 yard line. Fumble that we recover, incomplete pass and on third and
12, Webb hits Thompson on a quick slant, nice catch on low ball and Reid splits
the safeties and goes for 36 yards and first down. The Webb to Thompson connection has two
completions for over 100 yards in the first quarter!!! GOOD STUFF. Incomplete pass, DB has pass interference
on John Caldwell and that gives us first down on GH 25 yard line. Caldwell runs
a streak pattern, Webb from the shotgun throws the ball from the 33 yard line
and releases ball when Caldwell and the DB are running side by side at the 20,
Caldwell gets a step and the ball floats down at the goal line. A picture
perfect pitch and catch!!! Touchdown. Greenhill
sent SEVEN on the rush, each O lineman controlled his guy, and Malcolm Bowman (as
usual) picks up one of the free blitzers and the other LB just STOPS. Tommy
Gudmundsson who has started all year at RG is injured and Cameron Baxley has
stepped right in and is doing the job.
Anytime OUR SIX guys can block THEIR SEVEN guys, good
things will happen!!

job!! We did get hit for a block in the
back penalty.

out of the play, Koudelka with block downfield, Doorey & C. Labhart hustling
