All three phases of the Rocks’ game shined; however, the defense highlighted the day with seven takeaways from the Hawks. The defining play of the game was a pick-six interception by linebacker Jayden Bernavil as he exhibited great hustle to a flying pass, sprinting his way over 30 yards to get to the end zone. The entire defensive line was a rock wall, rarely letting a pass escape the pocket or a run go past the line of scrimmage. Defensive end Brent Stone stood out the most, earning player of the game honors. Mr. Consistency was also a defensive lineman -- tackle Kaden Rounds.
On offense, the Rocks exhibited consistency in their drives, ending most of them with touchdowns. The player of the game was first year wide receiver Hunter Harris. With two touchdowns and a diving catch to get to the two-yard line, Harris found openings in the Hawks’ defense throughout the game. As the offense’s field general, quarterback Collin Lindsey wins Mr. Consistency for the second week in a row. Lindsey aggressively ran the ball, passed for multiple completions, including three touchdown passes, and led his team both on and off the field throughout the game. Offensive tackle Alex Ashley also earns Mr. Consistency honors as he paved the way for the Rocks’ run game and protected the pass against the tough Decatur Blitz. The play of the game was quarterback Cole Ballard’s pass to a diving Hunter Harris in the third quarter, putting the Rocks back onto the Hawk goal line.
In the kicking game, Jalen Herron stood out for his physicality, earning Mr. Consistency honors. Reece Weyer earned the play of the game for his punt return down to the five yard line.
The Rocks return to action vs. HCC rival Zionsville in an away game on Saturday, September 7th. Go Rocks!
