We played against our rival Sherman on Friday. We practiced HARD all week to WIN! because it is a must win against Sherman. They beat us 48-12 last year at our home field. It was only 15 minutes’ drive to Sherman so they are practically our neighbors! We came to play hard and we opened the game with a kickoff. We tried to do a sidekick but the ball went little further than it was supposed to. They opened with a bad snap and we recovered the ball and ran for a touchdown and we scored. but there was a flag on the field. No TD but we got ball back and we moved very well and scored quickly. We went for two points and we scored, 8-0. We tried to do a sidekick again but Sherman got the ball safe. They moved the ball well and scored quickly and they made 2 points, it was a tie 8-8 between us.
We moved the ball very well and ran the clock down three times in the red zone and we didn’t score. That is something we need to work/focus on for this Friday’s game vs Upland Christian.
For the Second half, we controlled the game well and there was tons of flags flying all through the game but we didn’t let them to get to us. In the last TWO minutes, we moved the ball and scored but failed 2 points and we led 14-8. Our defense did a great job and stopped them from making a touchdown.
With the last play, our defense took the ball back and we kneeled to run out the clock. We won the game and it was our first win since 2014.
The Players of the game is the DEFENSE players! We won as a team TOGETHER!
It was a game that I will never forget!!
