Ferris wins in a Battle

In what proved to be the Saxons toughest game of the year so far, Ferris beat the Mead Panthers 28-17.  This game took big efforts and big plays from everyone on the team to get the job done - for instance:

  • QB Jeff Minnerly goes 14-15 for 174 yards, 1 TD and 0 int.
  • WR Jared Karstetter has his biggest game of the year, 115 yards receiving, 1 TD and also threw a reverse pass to Aaron Roberts for 39 yards.
  • RB Mckenzie Murphy had his first 100 yard game (109 yards on 8 carries) and scored 2 TD's
  • Adrian Milsap blocked his second punt of the year and fell on the ball in the end zone to score a decisive TD.
  • Nathan Tonani made a key interception as the Panthers were threatening and returned it 34 yards.
  • The Offensive Line as a unit probably had its best game of the year.

Overall, it was a great team effort and a great win.  Mead scored to take the lead in the third quarter, 14-10, after a 7 1/2 minute second half opening drive.  The Saxons responded with a nice drive of their own and were able to score on a beautiful pass and catch (Minnerly to Karstetter) to take the lead and never look back.

Next for the Saxons are the U-High Titans next Friday at University @ 7:00pm.
