Sandy Creek edges out Whitewater, 13-10Fri, 09/08/2006 - 9:29pm
By: Michael Boylan
What many had thought would be a high scoring affair was instead a defensive battle filled with bursts of tremendous offensive plays for both sides. After a scoreless first quarter, Whitewater kicker Jordan Cooper connected on a 35 yard field goal to give the Wildcats a 3-0 lead. The Patriots answered within one minute when Joseph Snowden caught a pass from Jake Turing and ran 90 yards for the touchdown. Whitewater took the lead at the half as quarterback Jay Bright found Jerrod Richardson in the end zone with a 30 yard touchdown pass. That was all the points Whitewater would muster though. The score remained 10-7 until early in the fourth quarter. Rashad Hollis rushed three yards for a touchdown after Tim Russell made a drive saving catch on 4th and 11. Sandy Creek missed the extra point but hung on during the Wildcats next two drives. The Patriots' Robert Jaracz intercepted a pass with just under three minutes remaining and Sandy Creek ran the clock out. It was the first loss for Whitewater since the 2004 season. They will host Fayette County next week in their first region game of the season, while Sandy Creek travels to Franklin County. login to post comments |
