21-19 and what a game
By Troy Kerby
October 19, 2006
Last night was definitely a crowd pleaser. Both teams gave us our monies worth. Go back to in the trenches, the whomever was wrong. Overall, tackles Skyler Mundell and Eric Herrera, Guards Jacob McCain and Justin Cline, and Center Cory Clanton won their battle, and with only a few battle losses, our defensive line won their war. The wide receiver blocking of Senior Stephen Ewing, Senior Domingo Rodriquez, Senior Jason Gonzalez, Junior Colter Morgan, Senior Dakota Teaff, and Senior Dustin Wright was there best effort of the year.
The game started out with QB Blaine Kerby hitting Jason Gonzalez with a 10 yard post, but 60 yards later with a great block from Dakota, Jason dove across the end zone. Dakota himself would catch a 30 yard TD. Defensively he was also outstanding; Dakota wound up being in on 16 tackles, had 2 sacks, and broke up a pass. Also on the defensive side was nose guard Ryan Kennedy. Remember Ryan is about 155 to 160 in the weight department, but he still managed to be in on 11 tackles, 4 pressures, and had 3 sacks. I definitely cannot leave out Middle Linebacker - Defensive Lineman Cory Clanton who was everywhere; he was in on 17 tackles. Blaine Kerby from left cornerback had 5 unassisted tackles and 12 assist with a 1/2 sack.
Offensively, the Bulldogs would put up 128 yards in the air with Jason Gonzalez owning 76 yards and Dakota Teaff 39 yards. Blaine would carry the ball 26 times for 142 yards.
The game was won by Hawley's kicker pulling himself together after missing 3 extra points and putting a field goal down the middle of the uprights. The game was everything you would expect from a Coahoma-Hawley competition.
For those who wonder why my stats do not always match what the Abilene Reporter has is because a game stat person is pressed to get the number and name of the ball players then add up the yards. Sometimes you have a lot of time, and sometime you do not; plus, all the distractions that go with the game and fans especially when you may be sitting in the stands because you do not have a press box to sit in. I on the other hand have luxury of sitting in my living room and taking the stats from a tape; rewind is my friend.
I would like to apologize and say thanks to a comment that I received this week. The apology is for losing the comment and not getting it published. I am new to blogging and had a little technical difficulty. Thank you for your comments.
