LEXINGTON VS.RNE
Great Game Guys!! We knew you could do it!! WE got
back in the win column again with a great, hard fought
game at RNE. Here is a recap:
We received the kickoff on the opening series…started
off with a couple of runs by Phillip Reese and 2 first
downs! Chad Lee got a nice run as did Aaron Williams.
On 3rd down and 4, Phillip got another first
down, then another. William Joweres had a nice first
down run. (We are really moving the ball!) Chad Lee
had another long run, to get us to the 4 yd. line. On
the next play, Chad runs it in for the touchdown!
Coleman Hunter kicks the extra point…Lexington up 7-0!
On RNE’s first possession, they don’t get too much,
Kevin Ackim, Jack Loonam, Nolan Auld, Garrett Web, Lucas
Darnell, and others had some good tackles and they had
to punt it back to us, without getting a first down. We
get the ball back, and Phillip Reese makes a nice run,
then Chad Lee pitches the ball to Aaron Williams and he
races about 50 yards for another quick touchdown!! Our
extra point try is blocked, but the good guys are up
13-0! We kick it off to RNE, and Nolan Auld and Kyle
Visser make a great tackle on the returner. Phillip
Padgett, Jeff Smith, and Cody Brantley gang tackle the
QB on the first play for a sack! Kyle Visser gets a
tackle on 2nd down, then they throw an
incomplete pass, so RNE is punting again! Chad Lee has
an 8 yd run to start our offensive drive…but on 2nd
down, unfortunately we fumble the ball.
Jack
Loonam makes a tackle on RNE’s first possession of the
drive. RNE throws a pass and Kevin Ackim is there to
make the tackle. They throw a deep pass next, and Kevin
once again makes the tackle. They run up the middle,
and Kevin and Nolan Auld make the tackle. Then they are
tackled again by Nolan, and Jack Loonam for no gain. RNE
gets on the scoreboard with a long touchdown pass. They
go for 2, but Kevin pushes the runner out of bounds for
no 2 point conversion. Good guys still lead…13-6. They
kick it off to us, Rob Polito gets the kick. We move
the ball again, Aaron Williams has a long run and a
first down. Chad then throws a nice pass to Matt
Delquardro. Phillip Reese runs for about 4 yds, then
another couple of yds. Chad sneaks it across the line
on the next play for a first down. We then have an
incomplete pass, and a run for no gain, Chad connects
with Aric Bane on a 4 yd pass, but we don’t pick up the
4th down try. RNE has the ball back, and they
get a long run, the runner is tackled by Nolan Auld and
Parker McMillian. Then they are tackled by Jeff Smith.
They throw an incomplete pass. Then they connect on a
long pass for a first down, but the receiver is tackled
by Parker again. They throw another incomplete pass,
then they throw a pass that bounces off the RNE players
hands, and Lucas Darnell dives to catch it…for an
awesome interception. That is how the first ½ ends!
Lexington 13, RNE 6.
We
kick off to them to start the 2 half. They got a long
run on their first play, and I’m sorry but I missed who
made the tackle on that play. They throw an incomplete
pass next. Garrett Webb, makes a tackle on the next
play, then they complete a pass and Lucas Darnell makes
the tackle. They fumble on the next play, and I think
Garrett Webb recovered it. (I’m sorry if that is not
correct) But we got the ball back! We don’t move the
ball too much on our next series. On RNE’s next series,
the quarterback was about to get sacked, he pitched the
ball at the last second, Garrett Webb, Bill Bortz, and
Cody Brantley all chased the runner back and tackled him
for about a 20 yd loss! On the next play, the QB throws
a pass that is picked off by Parker McMillian! We have
the ball back and Chad and Phillip have some nice runs
in the series, but we get a penalty on 4th
and 1 and fumble the snap on 4th and 6. RNE’s
qb keeps the ball and is tackled by Kevin Ackim. Then
the qb is tackled for a loss on the next play. Lucas
Darnell, Jeremy Macdonald, and Bill Bortz tackle RNE
player for a loss. Nolan Auld has an interception on
the next play! Phillip Reese has a nice run for a first
down on our first play of the drive. Then another run by
Phillip and a run by Chad Lee. Then Chad keeps the ball
again and runs for about a 25 yd. touchdown! Phillip
scores the 2 pt. conversion. Lexington 21 RNE 6!
We
kick it off to them, and it looks like they run it in
for a touchdown, but it is called back for a block in
the back, then they get an unsportsmanlike conduct
penalty. They are backed up, Nolan Auld tackles the
runner behind the line of scrimmage for an 8 yd. loss,
then, Bill Bortz sacks the QB for a 7 yd, loss. They
throw incomplete next, so they have to punt it away!
Unfortunately we fumble on the punt return, so they get
the ball right back. They throw an incomplete pass, then
they connect on a pass but the receiver is tackled by
Bill Bortz. They run it and Garrett Webb tackles the
runner for a 2 yd. loss. They pass it again and Nolan
Auld makes the tackle. They get a penalty, and it is 1st
and 14…Kevin Ackim knocks the pass down. 2nd
and 14..they throw another pass and Nolan and Kris
Parker make the tackle for no gain. 3rd and
14…they complete an 8yd. pass, and are tackled by
Garrett Webb and Parker McMillian. It is 4th
and 6. They try to run it, but are met by Kevin Ackim,
Jeff Smith, Zach Johnson, and Robert Mangum at the goal
line! No score! We get the ball back deep into
our territory, at our own goal line and unfortunately,
we fumble the ball right back to them.,They score on the
next play, but Lucas Darnell denies them of the 2 pt.
conversion try. Score goodguys 21 RNE 12.,RNE tries and
onside kick…but the Cats get the ball, and take a knee
on their last possession.
We
win a good game,and many players had some great plays!
It was good to see dispite some mistakes the Cats still
come out with a win…keep working hard guys, and good
things will come of it!!
