I saw Reagan in Week 0 and the got blown away by the Wagner Thunderbirds.
I have seen Madison 3 times already this season and they got whipped by Judson in Week 4
Madison and Reagan have won every game since those 2 losses! I was really looking forward to awesome game. The last thing I was expecting was a blowout!
At halftime, Reagan led the Mavericks 31-10! I was shocked! To start the 3rd quarter, Reagan got the ball first. If they score, game is over! But, if Madison can hold them to a three and out or a small amount of time and no points drive and score, this is going to be an awesome finish.
Well, on that first drive for Reagan, they failed to complete a 4th down and on that particular play, Trevor Knight slipped on the field and sprained his ankle. Injuries are never good especially when it happens to the star player! Knight didn’t return to the game.
A few plays later for Madison, Marquis Warford scored on a 54 yard touchdown run! We got a game! This is what I was expecting! The score was now 31-17 Reagan with 16 minutes left in the game! Unfortunately, Madison didn’t score again and Reagan added a late touchdown. The final score was 38-17 Reagan! Wow! Reagan won and Knight didn’t play after her got hurt and they were missing Elijah Ball who leads the team in rushing!
Trevor Knight, the Reagan quarterback, was superb. He was 7 for 14 passing for 169 yards and 2 touchdowns. He also ran the ball 14 times for 70 yards and 1 touchdown. Next year, he will be playing college football at Oklahoma! Austin Hays, the wide receiver, caught 3 of Knight’s receptions for 119 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Jake Perez, a defensive back for Reagan, got the player of the game. I don’t keep track of tackles, but I am pretty sure he led the team last night. He was everywhere! On one play, he deflected a pass in which he was covering a wide receiver and on the next play he was tackling a running back!
Marquis Warford and Galen McAllister, the running backs for Madison, ran the ball 38 times for 252 yards and 2 touchdowns. The quarterback, Justin Jones, really struggled. He was 1 for 7 passing for 12 yards. Byron Daniels caught that completion but fumbled the ball and Reagan recovered it and scored.
