I'm with you on your expression after tonight's game. McDowell was under sized against R-S on the line by an averge of 40-50 pounds per person. But that never stopped the Titans from winning their fair share of battles. Unfortunately the battle on the scoreboard fell in the Hilltoppers favor. McDowell put together that last drive only to have Arrowood's pass intercepted in the endzone with about 2 1/2 minutes left.

 

WHS

The 26-22 score doesn't tell the story on this one. The Pioneers trailed 22-6 with about 8 minutes left before Corum hooked up with receivers for two scores of 60+ yards. Then, with 12 seconds left, he connected with Baine Martin for the game winner...20 unanswered points in about 8 minutes to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Corum threw for 341 yards and 4 scores according to the radio.

 

Mooresville 48
Carson 6

Mooresville lead 28-0 after the first quarter and 38-0 at the half. HB Jishaun Pinkston scored three times and had over 200 yards rushing for the Blue Devils. QB Nathan Abraham threw for a score and rushed for one as well. Mooresville ran the second team offense and defense for most of the second half.

Next week: N. Iredell @ Mooresville.

I'm tired

 

one score I'm glad I missed on the pick-em...

Ragsdale 21
Gboro Page 14


What a fantastic incredible hard fought game tonight at Page as Ragsdale took a 21-14 win over an undefeated top ten Page team. Hard fought doesn’t hardly do justice to the defense on display tonight. Especially by the Ragsdale D, who with the exception of one big play by Will Newman, shut down the Pirate offense.

The start didn’t look good as Newman took a QB counter on the third play from scrimmage for a 68 yard TD run. It’s hard to believe though, that would be the last and only time the Page offense would score. The Ragsdale offense was having a tough time getting on track as the big Page defensive line was making plays. So it was up to the D to get things started as Page went for it on 4th and five from the Ragsdale 35. Walt Sparks stepped in front of a Newman pass and took the INT back 63 yards to the seven. One play was all it took for Charles Thomasson to score and the game was tied 7-7 with four minutes left in the first.

Both defenses settled in and made stops but Page made Ragsdale pay on a booming Casey Redfern punt as Thun Phac got great blocks and hit the seam for a 95 yard punt return as Page went up 14-7. Phac was a dangerous return man all night but Ragsdale made sure he didn’t get to the end zone again. Both defenses continued to play stingy, but Ragsdale made the drive of the game as they were able to score with six seconds in the half on as Tim Romer found Luke Sonricker open in the back of the end zone on a ten yard TD pass. Ragsdale went for two after Page was offside and Romer found Ian Jenkins for a 15-14 lead that the defense would hold up.

Ragsdale D gave Will Newman and Page fits all second half. Page couldn’t run the ball and did a great job containing Newman’s runs. Page had some drops and Newman was chased around making throws that were often high and broken up by Ragsdale. The only scoring drive in the half came as Romer again found Sonricker open behind the Page D on a 41 yard strike with 3 minutes left in the third. Page kept putting a linebacker on Sonricker and that LB was leaving him open all night. Ragsdale faked a kick and looked to convert another 2 pt pass to Jenkins but he had stepped out of bounds so the score stayed 21-14.

Ragsdale had to make two stops late in the 4th as they stopped Page on a fourth and goal with about three minutes left ( and also knocked Newman out of the game). Then as the game wound under a minute, Jonathan Ashworth made a big interception to seal the deal.

A very scary and somber moment occurred with about a minute left as Ragsdale DE Keith Handford broke his leg and delayed the game for over thirty minutes ( someone please tell me why there was no ambulance on site). That is a tough loss for Ragsdale and the junior lineman. Handford had played a great game all night.

One final note – Page made some DIRTY plays tonight which were totally unnecessary. They ripped Romer’s helmet off his head on one face mask and on Ashworth’s game saving INT a Page player again with a flagrant facemask after he was on the ground. Player should have been tossed for that one.

Anyway – great game and hats off to the Ragsdale D who came up big all night long. Walt Sparks, Billy Stone, Nick Mearite, Handford, Jon and Josh Ashworth – all those players and more played their butts off tonight. And big thumbs up to the Ragsdale O-line who gave Romer time to throw most of the night.

4-0! Grimsley next at home.
