Poetic Exposure

Last Friday I got to fill in for Victor Tapia and shoot Princeton football. Also once again in glorious Pizza Hut Park!The boys played really good, and for the most part held Wakeland to a tie game until the third quarter. They actually ran up the middle 90% of the time, a strategy that actually worked for the most part. A really interesting note about the game is that there was only one punt in the entire game and it came at 1:48 left in the fourth quarter! How weird is that? It wasn’t a case of high scoring, because it wasn’t (only 7 to 7 at half). Both teams found themselves in their respective 4th down situations around the 40 or 35 (too long for field goal, too short to punt).  Anyways the at the beginning of the third quarter, momentum shifted and wheels fell off with long catches and turnovers. Wakeland ended up something like 35 to 7. 

Well the boys played South Garland. I really looking forward too much to this game because this year South’s team is by far number one in our district! But Sachse suprised all of us. They were actually up 14 – 7 at halftime! This was after forcing 3 turnovers in the first quarter! The defense was spectactular.–BUT, about midway through the third quarter South started connecting all their medium and long passes and proceeded to walk all over the boys. Sachse’s team played their hearts out and I would label this the game of the year for them for sure!
