Well I havent posted a blog on here in quite awhile. So heres one.
I never told any of you about my senior season of football. I had a great season started at RB and MLB, my stats were pretty nice too, but ill tell you them at the end of the blog. I was named one of the team captains, along with Travis Broughton(QB), James Bozarth(RG/DT), and Jake Henry(TE/OLB). We went to football camp on June 25, 2006 and were there for one week. It was an awesome camp, probably the best I ever had. We were all sooooo excited about the upcomming season. We were set on getting state.
Well camp ended and the season started with an away game in august. We all thought we would go in there blow them out and get the win. Well the first play of the game we ran 02 (HB Dive) I took off up the middle and ran it all the way, for a 65 yard TD run. Our kicker kicked the feild goal and we were up 7-0 with just about 30 seconds off the clock. We got a stop the next drive and our offense went back onto the feild. We ran 02 once again, but the QB keptit himself and went running around the end of the line, he just passed the first down marker and juked out a LB when all ofa sudden a player came in and took out his knee. He was down... Turned out he tore a ligament andwould have to missthe rest of the season. Whichsucks.. Then our 2nd string QB came out and we tried to pass the ball.. well it got intercepted and ran in for a TD. So it was 7-7.No onescored again till the second half and we ended up winning 24-17.
Withour QB gone we had to change around the offense some, we put a WR in at QB, cause the second string QB is only a freshman. We went 3-0through the first 3 games. Then we lost the 4th and James bozarth,one of the captains, and the starting RG and DT got injured... broke his arm. So there we were without two of our best players. We lost the next game also, to giveus a 3-2 record.Then anotherloss so we were 3-3,our coach gave the team a speech after that game ill never forget, telling us that we can either sit there and let our season go down the drain, or stand up andfight, and makethis a year to remember. Well thats just what we were gonna try and do!
Wewent on a 3 game winning streak against some tough in district opponents, which gave us a 6-3 record. We had one game left and we had to win it or we wouldnt get into the playoffs. It was against in county Rival North Bullitt. We were determined to win no matter what. And man it was an exciting game. About 10 minutes before the game started it just started raining like crazy. By the time the game started the entire feild was nothing but mud. We fought through the first half and I had one of the best halfs Ive ever had. I rushed for 156 yards and 2 TDs, and had 9 tackles 1 sack and a INT. We went into the half down 14-7. We were tired, dirty, cold, and beat up. But I tried to get the team pumped up anyways! We came back out there and kicked it off, I came running down feild and hit their kicker at the 3 yard line. It was 1st down and they had it at the 3, well jake henry blitzed and he hit the running back in the endzone for a safety! We got the ball and went downfeild but got stopped and had to settle for a feild goal. It was now 14-12. Well after that im not sure what happened our team just kinda fell apart it seemed like. We ended up losing 30-12.
We ended up going 6-4, even though i had a amazing season... we didnt even make the playoffs. But oh well its over now.
