If I told you both teams ran 120 plays for 987 yards, Jay had 3 turnovers, Jay had 14 penalties for 105 yards, and each team had a running back rush for over 200 yards, what would you think the final score would have been? By looking at these numbers and the records, you would think the score would have been a blowout in favor of the Panthers! Well, you are wrong! Jay won the game in overtime 34-27! Yes, I am serious! This was an awesome game!
There were a lot of long plays, spectacular catches, and amazing runs!
Darryle Surney, the starting running back for O’Connor was injured so he didn’t play last night. He leads the team in rushing attempts, rushing yards, and touchdowns. Tre Johnson was his replacement and he didn’t disappoint. Tre had 20 carries for 234 yards and 3 touchdowns. Allen Wright, the the quarterback, was 9 for 19 passing with 183 yards.
Jay’s starting running back, Adonis Hulbet, was magnificent. He had 27 carries for 275 yards and 2 touchdowns. But, I was really impressed by a 6’2 Junior wide receiver named Josh Reynolds. Remember his name! He had 8 catches for 98 yards. He also recovered an onside kick with :36 seconds left in the game and that allowed Jay to tie the game with a field goal.
When we came back from break for that onside kick, I was looking for Reynolds because I knew he was gonna recover it and I even said it out loud even though Bobby and Mark couldn’t hear me since they have headsets on and I don’t! Wow!
The player of the game went to Adonis Hulbet. Reynolds and Aaron Haston, the kicker, were in the mix for player of the game.
This was my first overtime game this season and could end up being the upset of the year. Again, wow and OMG!
Next Thursday, I will be at Gustafson stadium for the Stevens Falcons vs Holmes Huskies. This game could determine 4th place in the district. The top 4 teams in the district advance to the playoffs.
Friday, I am probably going to be at Comalander stadium for the Madison Mavericks Vs Reagan Rattlers. This game could determine the district champion!
Saturday, I am probably going to be at Gustafson stadium again for the O’Connor Panthers Vs Warren Warriors. This game could determine 2nd place in the district.
