In my Week 12 blog, I predicted a score of 38-13 Reagan. I was pretty close. Reagan won by a score of 51-14! Wow, maybe I will become a Vegas gambler!
The O’Connor Panthers had 47 total plays for 120 yards with 4 first downs and 3 turnovers. One of the scoring drives went for 75 yards. On the ground, they had 28 total carries for 29 yards, despite having 2 running backs with over 800 yards this season.
Reagan had 62 total plays for 483 yards. Ten running backs had carries and thank god no more because I only have space for 10 on my stat board. Wow! Michael Coppage led the team with 81 yards and 1 touchdown. Sophomore, Curt Smith had 75 yards and 1 touchdown. I could go on and on for the running backs. There were some Junior Varsity players who got there name on my stat board! I think I even got a carry in garbage time!
Trevor Knight, the quarterback, had 31 yards rushing and 1 touchdown. He also threw for 91 yards and 1 touchdown. Austin Hays, the wide receiver, had 67 yards receiving and the lone touchdown.
Jake Wilcox, the kicker, made 3 of 4 field goals this afternoon. One was from 42 yards, one was from 47 yards, and to end the 2nd quarter he nailed a 58 yard field! Yes, a 58 yard field goal! Wow! Bobby Stautzenberger and Mark Kusenberger thought it may be a record. Some of the press box officials came into our press box and were asking Bobby and Mark if this was a record. We ended up confirming that it tied a city record! Wow! Must be nice to have a kicker, a reliable kicker. The majority of Wilcox’s kick offs landed inside the 20 yard line!
Our player of the game wasn’t anybody mentioned above! It was Zach Hilsberg, a linebacker from Reagan,who had several tackles, a fumble recovery, and an interception. The Reagan defense shut down the O’Connor Panther offense and Zach was a big part of it.
Reagan will play McAllen Memorial next week.
I am not sure where I will be next week as Steele, Reagan, Madison, and Warren will be on the road for there games. As soon I as get confirmation on where I am next week, I will let you know.
