With the exception of seniors Chase Chapman and Leo Mendoza running hard in the backfield, we started out pretty slow in the first half only scoring twice with no 2-point conv. or PAT's (my bad). It wasn't a bad half by any means but you could tell that we needed to pick up the intensity. When we looked up at the scoreboard which read 14-12 in favor of NWC, we all knew that we should have put at least one more score on the board before halftime. But oh well, too late. We came out in the second half and delivered. Not only did Dustin pass well, he ran the option and Wildcat well too. Leo had some hard runs and would have broke two of them had he not tripped over his left tackle (my bad again). Freshmen Brenden Greenfield and Chandler "Bob" Chapman had phenomenal games catching the ball. Brenden had some key catches which got us long 3rd down conv. and Chandler had the game-winning catch from about 20 yards out. When NWC scored that TD with 1 minute left, us linemen looked at each other, nodded, and all knew what had to be done on the next offensive series. We thoroughly marched down the field and scored with time to spare. We had performed an awesome feat but we needed to finish it. And so we did. We had good coverage all over the field and we put the nail in the coffin when Nick Zimmerman sacked the Gators QB to end the game. We had officially shown everybody who watched that game what Comet Football was all about and how to play with Comet Pride for 48 minutes.
