Offensively, the Shamrocks were led by Nate Froelich. The talented running back ripped off large chunks of yardage for the offensive, with one run in particularly serving a spark in the second half. During the run, Froelich dashed through a half dozen Brave defenders, criss-crossing the field and covering nearly 60 yards for the score. Austin "Tiny" Dollens added consistent play up front with the O-line, while Evan Manley led the wide receivers. Manley made a fantastic diving catch for one of the Shamrocks' early scores.
The Rock D was able to limit the Braves to 21 points after starting a bit slow. They ratcheted up the physicality in the second half, and were able to frustrate a dynamic Braves quarterback with pressure. Koby Hauser led the way with solid coverage in the secondary, while also bringing physicality down to the line of scrimmage when called upon. Matthew Tongate added consistent play on the defensive line. The big play of the night was early, when Hauser intercepted a Brave pass in the end zone, thwarting a Brebeuf scoring attempt.
On special teams, the Rocks were able to maintain an advantage over the Braves. Caleb Sanburn provided consistent play, with solid, reliable long snaps. Will Harrison nailed a 50-yard field goal to end the first half, and Nate Froelich recovered a late onside attempt by the Braves to help seal the victory.
Special mention should be given to Seth Feltner, Jacob Crabtree, and Seth Tackett. These Rocks made significant contributions in preparing the team for the Friday contest. They attacked each day during the week, providing the best possible look for their fellow teammates.
The Rocks will enjoy a bye next week, as they prepare start their playoff journey by travelling to Lafayette to take on the Bronchos in the first round of the sectional on Friday, October 28th.
