Great game by both teams. I wasn't there but I did listen to the game on MDN and your local radio station (live stream). I have to say that the first half was the best half of football all year offensively for the Devils. I don't remember his name but the RB for you guys is a beast. What colleges are recruiting him. Someone is gonna get a dandy!
No punts in the first half and each team scored on every possession until halftime as I recall. I thought for sure that each team would score 40+ by the end of the game. As it turns out, I believe halftime was the turning point in the game. Coach Blankenship's staff made a few adjustments to the defensive game plan and managed to slow down the running game just enough to pull it out. Of course those two big pass plays by the Devils also had a lot to do with the outcome.
Congratulations on a great season. From everything I heard, your community, your school, and fans are a first rate bunch of people. I hope we meet ya'll next year at Swain and we can return the hospitality.
