Offensively, the Shamrocks struggled a bit on Friday, stalling on several drives. They scored when they needed to, however, with the superb quarterbacking by Ryan Pepiot and the steady hands of Evan Manley. No plays were bigger than a Pepiot to Manley conversion to keep the Rock scoring drive alive late in the game.
The Rock Defense held a very talented Miller offense in check for most of the night, turning in two scoreless quarters and winning the takeaway battle for the second week in a row. Luke Lammers and Jackson Garrett turned in fantastic performances, each securing extra possessions for the Rock O. Matthew Tongate continued with consistent play on the D line. The highlight of the night was a diving interception by Luke Lammers in the gold painted turf, stopping a Miller score on a desperate 4th down pass.
Shamrock Special Teams made sure the Rocks had an advantage in field position all night. William Harrison’s stellar punting led to a 99 yard advantage for the Rocks. Will McCool led the way in this phase of the game with Dylan Simpson adding consistency.
Special mention should be given to Peyton Haack and Jordan Grimes. These Rocks made significant contributions in preparing the team for the Friday contest. They were #unbreakable during the week, providing the best possible look for their fellow teammates.
Come see your #unbreakable Rocks next Friday, when Westfield will travel down to Lucas Oil Stadium to take on the Hamilton Southeastern Royals. Kickoff will follow the end of the preceding game, and is tentatively scheduled for around 8:30pm.
