Last Friday, your Rocks hosted the Harrison Raiders from Lafayette, earning a 55-28 opening day victory.
The Shamrock offense was led by QB Camden Simons, who put up monster numbers on the night. The entire offensive line tacked on consistent play, providing Simons time to make big throws, and opening holes all over the place for a myriad of Rocks runners. The big play for the O was when Simons hooked up with WR Mason Piening on a deep touchdown strike to start the scoring frenzy.
The Rock D started a little slowly, yielding 21 points in the first half. They buckled down, however, only allowing one score the remainder of the way. They were anchored by LB Eli Patchett, with help from the consistent corner play of Benji Welch. The big play for the D came on a Welch forced fumble at the goal line, which DL Popeye Williams recovered, rumbling his way all they back into friendly territory.
The Shamrock Special Teams had a solid night with Eduardo Beltran connecting on all of his numerous extra point attempts. Gabe Arvin added consistency for the unit, while the big play of the night goes to Bryson Hoover. Hoover placed a punt that backed the Raiders up inside of their own 10 and really stalled any momentum they might have gained from a stop.
Special mention should be given to Jonathon Frey, Luke Lewis, Gabe Arvin, and Aydan Hartman. These Rocks made significant contributions in preparing the team for the Friday contest. During the week, they show us what it means to be united, providing the best possible look for their fellow teammates.
Next Friday, your Rocks will travel to Decatur Central to take on the Hawks. Kickoff is scheduled for 7PM.
