Offensively, the Shamrocks exploded in the first half, scoring all of their points before halftime and going in with a 38-0 lead. Johnny Swidan led the way, dragging would-be Broncho tacklers as the Shamrock offense pounded the rock. Chad Reeh and Andy Sweet tacked on consistent play in support of the dominant run game, while tossing just enough passes to keep the Broncho defense on their heels. The big play of the night came on the first drive, when Sweet hooked up with Evan Manley for a long touchdown.
The Rock D stifled the Bronchos and generated plenty of turnovers to help put this game away early. Brian Skelton seemed to be all over the ball last night, coming away with several takeaways, including a key interception on one of the early Broncho drives. Jackson Garrett and Caleb Sanburn kept things consistent with physical play both in the box and in the secondary. The Rocks held the Bronchos scoreless in the first half, and only gave up scores late with the game well in hand.
Shamrock special teams got in on the fun last night, generating a blocked punt that Skelton returned for a touchdown. The field goal team was also able to put one through for a score after one of the Broncho turnovers, and William Harrison launched a booming punt one of the few times the Rocks found themselves pinned in their own territory, flipping the field.
Special mention should be given to Jeremiah Edwards, Trevor Lickfelt, and Cam Simons. 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 host the Sectional Championship next week, where they will face the McCutcheon Mavericks. Kickoff is scheduled for 7pm.
