A WINS A WIN
Saxons get a win on
the road
We (SaxonSports)
missed our first Varsity football game in 4 years and
unfortunately are relying on reports, texts and second hand
information to compile this report.
As you probably know by
now, Ferris won the game 21-12 in a game that saw two very
different halves of football, bad weather, turnovers, lots
of (questionable) penalties and the introduction of two
players getting their first varsity starts.
Ferris came out in the
first half and scored on two of their first three
possessions. QB Derek Peterson, making his first
varsity start, appeared in control and making the most of
his opportunity. He rushed for nearly 100 yards in the
first half and hit a streaking Garrett Saiki for a 70 yard
touchdown completion in the second quarter. Along with
Saiki's TD, Aaron Roberts added two more and Ferris led at
the half 21-6. Also, the first half saw the debut of
new running back Kevin Wright who ended up with 63 yards in
the game.
Then came the second half.
With the torrential
downpour, Ferris had a tough time hanging on to the ball.
They committed 5 (maybe 6??) turnovers in the second half.
Four turnovers came on bad QB-RB exchanges and one came on
an interception and they happened on successive possessions.
The good news out of all this is that the Ferris D came up
big. With the number of turnovers and field position
that Eastmont had, the fact that all they scored in the
second half was one TD is simply amazing.
A wins a win and in
football they don't grade you on style points. Five
and oh...and preparing for Shadle.
OLD MAN MINN NOTES:
Not much to add here because I wasn't at the game, so let's
look ahead...Next week it's Shadle Park at 2-3, this will be
a good time for Ferris to get settled back in and make a
push for the final stretch...After that Ferris has three
potentially tough games - first is CV at 5-0 and many are
saying that this game will decide the GSL championship,
second is the south hill rival LC at 3-2. LC will most
likely be at or near full strength after being bit by the
injury bug - and finally, finishing with U-Hi at U-Hi...So
Ferris Football boys, don't YOU look ahead - leave that to
me :) - just take care of business, and like they say, just
take it one game at a time - the rest will take care of
itself...
