Outlaws
win home opener
The Outlaws began their assault from the get-go, stopping Madras' initial possession. With Sisters in control, the ball was handed to Jawan Davis on a reverse that ended 83 yards later in the end zone for six. Madras fought back and, with four minutes left in the first quarter, took a 7-6 lead. Late in the second quarter the Outlaws marched 45 yards on 10 plays which ended with an Adam Summerfield-to-Chris Wimer touchdown pass. "Seann Igoe's 32-yard run behind offensive linemen Nathan Teeny and Matt Hodge was the key play of the drive," said Coach Bob Macauley. According to Macauley, the Buffaloes took advantage of some loose pass defense and scored on an 80-yard drive with less than a minute to go in the first half to take a 14-12 lead. Two Outlaw fumbles and nine first half penalties were a big hindrance to the Outlaws in the first half, but Sisters came back strong, taking total control of the second half. "The offensive line of Derrick Ramsey, Brian Jimmerson, Connor Burck, Nathan Teeny and Matt Hodge dominated line play, creating huge holes for Igoe and provided throwing time for quarterback Adam Summerfield," said Coach Macauley. Despite continued penalty problems the Outlaws scored on three of their first four possessions. "Chris Wimer capped a 70-yard drive with a three-yard run behind Hodge and Teeny. Jawan Davis hauled in a 55-yard Summerfield pass ending a quick 74-yard drive. Seann ran 14 yards to round out the scoring for the night," said Macauley. The physical play of the defense, led by noseguard Scott Kramer, ended any hope of a Madras upset. The defense held the White Buffaloes to 26 yards rushing in the second half. Assistant coach Gary Hedin pointed out the defensive play of Kramer, Beck Pierce, Brandon O'Brien, Colin Davies and Conner Burck as instrumental in keeping the pressure on the Buffaloes' quarterback. Chris Wimer led the defenders with 13 tackles. Linebacker Tyler McMeekin recorded 10 tackles and Brian McNerny added seven. Seann Igoe led the offense and racked up 248 yards rushing on 32 carries. Macauley noted other individual performances, including Jawan Davis who caught six passes for 136 yards, rushed for 83 yards and scored two touchdowns. Adam Summerfield completed eight of 12 passes for 166 yards and a touchdown. Junior Nic Morton also threw a touchdown in the second quarter and Jacob Crowder had an interception for the defense. The Outlaws host the Central Panthers Friday. |
