Game #9

Saxons Finish the Season Strong

Although the game didn't start the way the Saxons expected, it did finish the way they expected.  The Rogers Pirates came out and took the opening kickoff 80 yards for a touchdown and before the Saxons new what happened they were down 7-0 to the winless Pirates.  Ferris was quick to respond and the route began.

Led offensively by QB Jeff Minnerly, the Saxons scored nearly at will on the overmatched but big hearted Pirates.  The Saxons had over 450 yards of offense.  Minnerly had 254 yards passing and spread the ball around to his receivers.  His 5 touchdown passes went to 4 different receivers and tied a GSL single game record for number of passing TD's in a game.  RB McKenzie Murphy had a strong night running as well.  He had 89 yards and two TD's.  The Saxon D came up big on this, the final game of the regular season.  They held the Pirates to just over 200 yards of offense and forced 5 turnovers (2 fumbles and 3 INTs).  This strong performance allowed everyone to get into the game, which is a great way to finish the season.

Nice win boys - but now it's time to forget it and focus on Moses Lake.  The game next week is Saturday at Albi Stadium at 1:00pm.  Winner goes to State and loser is done for the season. Congratulations Coach Sharkey and boys on a great season.

Note: CV pulled off the upset win over U-High on a last minute interception.  The Bears victory puts the LC Tigers in the playoffs as a 3 seed.
