JV Football @ Snohomish last Monday

The following was received by head JV coach Craig Nurvic about Monday's game.

We lost a tough 6-0 battle with Snohomish.

Justin Counts, Marcus Jordan, Josiah Miller and Lucas Felkner all ran the ball well.

There were lots of turnovers: We had three fumbles and they threw one pick - a tipped ball that Alec Castillo caught.

First drive we march to the Snoho 12 and fumbled.

The game was played between the 20's for both teams for almost the entire game.

In the third we ran a 25 yard brown belly to the Panther 1yd line, only to have a late late penalty for holding, bummer.

The entire game was played in a downpour of biblical proportions I think that it stopped raining for two minutes in the second, right before a 5 min halftime. The wet ball is to blame for the fumbles.

The Wildcats played with an all out effort - there was no quit from any of our guys.

Driving the ball late in the 4th Justin Counts ripped off a 25 yard trap play that put us deep into Snoho territory about their 27, and on next play, with a 4th and 4, no time outs, and only 18 seconds on the clock, we called a brown blast pass. The ball was snapped, Felkner faked the blast, and set up to throw. Wait! There's pressure, he steps up, receivers moving into position. Snohomish gets our QB is in the grasp, but he breaks free, rolls to his right, and has nowhere to go. He reverses his field and picks up a big block, now rolling to his left he sees room to run but defenders force him to cut back to his right, clock winding down he sees a receiver in the end zone he throws! The receiver makes a great move to the ball but can't hang on.

After the game I told the guys that was the most fun I have ever had in a 6-0 loss. I told them "You guys played hard and gave Snoho one heck of a fight."
