The JV
dark won again this week as the faced off against the Brazoswood Buccaneers.
The Bucks went for it on fourth and a half yard on their own 40 in the
first drive of the game. The Falcon defense stood the Bucks running back
straight up and gave the ball to their offensive team to start their first
drive in Buccaneer Bay. With tough running from RB #23 Brandon Smith, the
Falcons looked at a second and goal on the goal line. Bumblin, rumbling
FB #64 Jason Jameson took the ball into the end zone to give Lake the lead
7-0.
The next Buccaneer drive continued to add to the beating Brazoswood was to
suffer. On a third and five, the Bucks were gang-tackled for a big loss
forcing the punt. The leader of that gang was #24 LB Cary Chiampi.
The
Falcons took over with good field position on their second drive that took
them 30 yards from the first down marker, but they got shut down with
penalties. K #1 Kyle Chism laid a beautiful punt to pin the Bucks back on
their own 5 yard line.
The
Bucks were again unable to move the ball and on a third and 9, #64 Jameson
chased the QB out of the end zone as he threw the ball away. The Lake "D"
was standing very tough tonight. Great tackles were coming from #40 David
Vernon, #41 Luke Smith, and #42 Chase Chandler.
The next Lake drive was more running from QB #10 T.J. Jordan and #23
Brandon Smith. But with a third and goal on the 7 yard line, the Falcons
pulled out a reverse to WR #5 Dan Green who took the ball untouched into
the end zone. With the help of the EP crew, Lake pulled ahead 14-0.
The
Bucks drive was slowed to a stop with the assistance from #60 Jordan
Barrett and the great play of #71 Jeff Wheeler chasing the QB out of the
pocket and forcing him to get rid of the ball before receivers could get
open.
The next
Falcon drive featured runs and Lakes first short pass of the night from QB
#10 T.J. Jordan to #86 TE Jeff Giesinger. The half ended with Lake unable
to put another score on the board. But they had things under control as
the defense was barely even bending for the Buccaneer offense.
The second half of the game was a running showdown between the teams and
the Falcons began to cheer when #40 David Vernon blocked a buck punt and
was picked up by #27 Mark Moran and run back to the Bucks 25 yard line.
This
series had #5 Dan Green line up at QB taking a shotgun snap and running
right for the first two plays. Dan ran great across the field avoiding
tackles, but was unable to find the gap he was looking for before the
Bucks defense caught up to him.
After a
blocked field goal, the Bucks carried that momentum all the way to the
opposing end zone getting their first score of the night making the score
14-6. On the next series the Lake offense continued to get the Bucks to
move up to stop the run with solid running from #25 Darren Lindamood.
Having them stuff the box for the run, #86 Jeff Giesinger threw the ball
over the top to a streaking #23 RB Brandon Smith who got underneath the
ball and helped Lake ensure that the game was still theirs. The game came
to an end after a FG from #1 Kyle Chism to give Lake their second "W" in a
row and looking forward to next week.
