Defensive Battle
The Panthers had a very tough game this weekend wuth the Spartans. It was a defensive battle all day with niether offenses able to move the ball. The Panther defense showed the Spartans that they were ready to play. The Spatans first drive ended with a blocked punt in the endzone and recovered by them for a Panther saftey and a 2-0 lead. The score stayed that way until the last 4 min of the 4th quarter.
After giving up a big play the Spartans had the ball inside the 10yd line, but once agian the defense shut them down for the next 3 plays which made it 4th and goal from the 20yd line. They throw one deep for the endzone into double coverage and somehow the Spartans came down with it to take a 6-2 lead late in the game, but with about 3 minutes to go the game is never over til its over.
Panthers take the ball to the 50 yd line on the kickoff. A run play nets us nothing. David Ward drops back and hits Jimaul on a deep route for 20yd and a first down. Next play goes back to the air on the other side to Jon Barajas for about 15 yd. and another first down. Dezerick takes a hand off for 5 yd. Panther time out. 58 seconds left. Panther 2nd down at the 10yd line. David Ward drops back and throws a fade to Jimaul and the ball goes short for a INT game over. Panthers lose a tough season opener 6-2.
Considering that the Spartans have never lost and our defending national champions we played a great game. Keep your heads high you had them very scared. If you can play them that good we will win some games this year I promise. See you all at practice.
