Offensively, the Shamrocks started slowly, but finished strong. Nick Ferrer dazzled with four TD passes on the night. Dan Liebbe and Ben Lotfalian helped pound out the yardage on play after play. The big play of the night was Milo Beam’s catch to set up a TD right before the half.
The Rock Defense held the explosive Broncho offense to only two scores. Luke Peters had an early interception and saved a touchdown later in the game. The Defensive Tackles had a consistent game, bottling up the shifty Jefferson running game. The defense game up with three early turnover, none bigger than Jay Simons’s interception late in the second quarter.
Shamrock Special Teams held down their phase of the game, providing field position advantage throughout the night. The long punts of Josh Estridge kept the Bronchos pinned, while big plays like the Brandon Karsnick kickoff return set the offense in a great spot. The consistent play of Cameron Shaw, Matt Kinney, and Nick Krieg helped make this phase a success.
Special mention should be given to Zach Patterson, Dalton Davis, Chris Davis, and Brock Ginder. These Rocks made significant contributions in preparing the team for the Friday contest. They kept their focus on the HCC title throughout the week, providing the best possible look for their fellow teammates.
Resolve to support Rocks Football two Fridays from now, when Westfield will open the postseason with a showdown in West Lafayette against the William Henry Harrison Raiders. Kickoff is at 7:00pm.
