Friday Night Rivals - Pinecrest at Middle Creek

[Music] it's friday night and you know what that means pod the dealers of the carolinas friday night rivals presented by talk it out nc tonight a couple of programs with a lot of success in recent years the pinecrest patriots and the middle creek mustangs hi again everybody patrick johnson along with jay sondheim welcome into apex big matchup here tonight as for the patriots looking to move to 3-0 yeah they've had an outstanding start patrick 2-0 early on with a big win over roseville they've been playing great on both sides of the ball in the defensive end they've created turnovers when we're talking about the ponies they seem to get on track last week as they shut out garner in a rivalry game a lot was on the line they really came out and established the tempo on the offensive end mixing in the run and the pass on the defensive end they got their shutout all right let's take a look at sonny's stars to watch we'll start with the quarterback for the patriots though the first thing you think about brody karis is his leadership ability his teammates follow him he's dangerous with his arm but he cannot get outside of the pocket and use his leg to pick up first downs as well on the other side middle creek has an outstanding defensive back and grant geary he's leading the state in interceptions with three early on here in the season he's a shutdown corner and one of the most athletic guys on the team keys to the game with jason minecraft they want to get off to a good start slow starts the past two ball games and then establishing the running game for middle creek physical up in the trenches they want to pound the rock and then on the back end their pass defense is a huge key tonight to keep everything in front a couple of first-year head coaches matching up here tonight with more on that here's maryland this pinecrest middle creek matchup pins two first-year first-time head coaches against one another here tonight but the similarities between andre jacobs and his mustangs and bob curtin with his patriots is that both head coaches have such familiarity with and passion for these programs that the jobs felt like home before they were even accepted they both took the jobs late in the summer so they kept a lot of things the same in the name of continuity we'll take a look at the things that have led to success that were continuous as well as the things that are new for these programs on the field here tonight stay with us on my rdc you're watching friday night rivals we'll be back with kickoff i know it looks like i'm trying to stop this

it is friday night rivals from mustang stadium we're at the creek pine crest coming to calling tonight thanks for being with us here and thank you to the united states marine corps for tonight's coin toss the few the proud the marines contact your local recruiter today so the mustangs will get their hands on the football first after pinecrest won the toss and deferred to the second half chad kearns back in the lineup at quarterback after missing last week's game he has a big arm at quarterback he's an all-conference performer last season he's an accurate thrower with that strong arm he can sit in the pocket and really read defenses at a high level so it's good for the mustangs to have him back especially in the passing game and when you talk about defensive efforts look at pinecrest there they also put the goose egg on the board last week they got pressure they got turnovers they were solid tackling coach curtin for pinecrest was so pleased with the effort on that side of the ball and in order to win championships you've got to rely on your defense and early on this season the defense for pinecrest has been outstanding so back to receive the opening kickoff will be michael beatty and will rudisil [Music] and here come the patriots it'll be brandon or brayden call rather with the kickoff here tonight and our kickoff for open door open door the new way to sell your home [Applause] absolutely gorgeous night for football jay and perfect weather after the sweltering conditions last week great weather the biggest thing is no humidity perfect 77 degrees again the key here is a slight breeze humidity's down some perfect weather and you know this is a game when you look at this schedule huge match up early on the season both teams really playing at a high level especially middle creek last week kind of finding their groove but this is an important matchup for both sides well the patriots are in the midst of an absolutely brutal five-game stretch to open the year hanson county wasn't much competition for him last week but they opened against roseville and then have grimsley next week and then open conference play against richmond county wow at sandhills conference even though it's a split 3a 4a this year is no joke again so the patriots when we get underway it'll be into the end zone and we'll start from the 20-yard line [Applause] so middle creek will come out with chad kearns at quarterback big spring he was an all-conference performer with over 1800 yards six 490 pound senior big arm jay they want to run the football more but that also could mean more opportunities through the air for current the biggest thing is just to have balance on the offensive end and if you can get the linebacker sucking up on the running gaps that's going to allow the middle of the field to be wide open for kerns to attack so kern's out of the gun with tate jones the lacrosse player one of the top ones in the nation bound for ohio state and he'll get wrapped up on the first play and dropped hit by will brock let's take a look at the mustangs starting lineups and the lineups for talk it out in c and you look at kearns jones got the football there rudisil their h-back three receivers and then up front an offensive line that will have to give kern's time tonight and it's gonna be a pick on his first throw it'll be taken to the house for a touchdown jayden baptiste stepped in intercepted it took it to the promised land and that is a wake tech touchdown lead the way at wake tech baptist only a sophomore the outside linebacker outstanding and coverage just reading the eyes of kearns see him kind of just fall back here going to the flat area and then jumping in front of that pass a good job of just reading the eyes and then making a huge plan what is start for pinecrest coach curtin talked to us this week about his team getting off to a good start and his defense standing up we have a penalty marker but less than 30 seconds into the game a pick six encroachment against middle creek penalties have been a little bit of an issue well early on in the season you're going to have a lot of issues with penalties alignments and just those early game mistakes but the best teams are the ones that can correct this especially and kind of fix that and play a smooth ball game that's been a focus for both coaching staffs the point after kicks have been a little bit of a trouble spot for cole here in the early season [Music] let's see if they can have this one knocked down [Music] it's up right down the middle a pick six to start things here pinecrest on the board we'll see what middle creek does they'll try to get things going when we come back we all wear multiple hats a different hat for every job at wake tech we have multiple hats too from welding to construction management to baking to public safety wake tech can help you determine which hat fits you best visit wake tech online or in person and try one on for size wake tech success starts here [Music] with a honda in your garage every summer adventure leads to another [Music] get an incredible summer offer on a new honda only at the honda summer sales event ready set go [Music] [Music] a pick six and already the patriots on the board they're going to kick the football off again [Music] so kearns did not play last week brandon ely was in it quarterback they're back to kearns this week as we get set for this open door kickoff jay we'll see what they decide to do offensively if they'll change anything but he just kind of stared down his receiver yeah he was looking over towards the right side of the field but it was the coverage of baptiste just kind of falling back hiding there and then jumping in front in the passing lane kickoff for open door to a new way to sell your home again it's cole who just booted the extra point and again it's cole sending it into the end zone [Music] so middle creek will come back out [Applause] let's look at that defense the pick by baptiste the inside linebacker will brock had a play early on horton the nose tackle and they've got a really solid secondary with the hartford brothers as well jay and harrington outstanding free safety will brock up front he's a star defensive end and this defense 3-4 so they've got a lot of different blitzing schemes that they like to use travis scales their defensive coordinator early on has to be pleased ponies spinning their tires early on that's a procedure penalty on offense they've had some struggles here in the first three snaps [Music] a loss and then the pick six and before they could get going a penalty so that backs him up to the 15-yard line let's see what jesse willett their offensive coordinator who came over with coach jacobs from lee county comes with it again it's will brock disrupting things a second tackle for loss already here early on zone read and brock just getting underneath the tackle a swim move and using his speed to get in the backfield a loss of four now second and long we're not even a minute in here's kearns keeping it himself and kearns will get spun down up to the 17-yard line that's going to bring up third and long a pretty good job by kearns right there reading the coverage realizing nothing open he didn't like it so then he got what he could and made it a little bit more manageable on this third and long but the offensive line has to protect for kearns here he'll drop create a little room for himself it's complete and it is not gonna be enough for a first down i don't think they went to adam booker there the senior six 488 pounder booker just hiding on the sidelines good job getting behind the coverage and currents rolling out of the pocket just lofting the ball over baptiste it's about a yard short let's see here possession of the ball feed and bounds it's a little bit short pickup of 12. they needed 13. cobb is back here's the punt good punt a boomer and it'll bounce and roll inside the 20 and be down at the 17 yard line wow what a fabulous punt that was that's a 54-yard boot earlier our marilyn payne had an opportunity to speak with a very special guest from the united states marine corps patrick thank you i'm here with sergeant fendorff she's a local u.s marines recruiter thank you so much for your time with us this evening why is it so important for the marines to be involved with high school football in north carolina and with us here on friday night rivals to support our local communities as well as our future marines if you want to reach out to us our our link is marine slash 4mcdral well there we have it that's everything that everyone needs to know get involved if you're interested patrick back to you marilyn thanks a lot pinecrest with nazir seagraves on the first carry he takes it from the 18 and doesn't get anything it'll bring up second down and 10. and one of the defenders sticking their nose in there was i believe one of the linebacker summers all right so second and ten brody carris the quarterback 58 through the air this year and his first completion but it's going to be for a loss back to the 16-yard line is really good with their recognition they're physical quick little screen pass to the outside and nowhere to go outstanding job of beating the block for the tackle middle creek now their defense standing up now is langston davis the junior coming up with a hit the senior cobb with the reception so he got to the line of scrimmage with forward progress so third and ten and nothing doing up the middle [Applause] so it'll be a punt nice job to get in there defensively [Music] by the mustangs and it's a quick three and out for the patriots here really nice job by reid fallows there yeah the middle linebacker they're just eating it up beating the block you see three hats for the mustangs coming over they're playing team defense right they're getting off the field nice job with penetration cole handles the punt beatty will not have an opportunity to return as that one went off the side of his foot and they're gonna say that it went out of bounds as they walk it back now all the way to the 40-yard line a break seven-nothing early patriots i know it looks like i'm trying to stop this plane but i'm not there's a nissan salesman don't let that get away this rope has more standard safety features than any car in its class so you can handle almost anything hurry in and save up to 52.62 on select models before these deals take off okay i need this to be as eye-catching as our new scratch-offs yes new scratch-offs new look for your special day no no next oh yeah no okay it feels scratchy i'm just not sure it says new scratch-offs try those on for signs new scratch-offs need new kicks [Music] only an 18-yard punt and no quarterback uh the original starter for pie crust we talked about it brody karis in the beginning so we'll see what that is all about and it just didn't seem like the pinecrest offense was as sharp as some of the video we've seen this week jay so that might explain some of that but certainly the mustangs fired up here at home defensively yeah you can see the intensity that this defense plays with andre jacobs their head coach was a linebacker star linebacker at the college level and taking on his identity and in the past we've seen middle creek teams be really good passing the ball but their defense wasn't quite up to par but this year this is a much improved defense with the offense coming along and the offensive side they're trying to mix in more of the run this year and try to establish that balance so they're going to go to take jones on the end of round jones gets strung out and then gang tackled able to develop a healthy game there though inside the 35. jones just kept on running a lacrosse player who says football's a little easier game than lacrosse and did a fine job there to get some yardage after he was strung out so pick up a five and from the 33 second down [Applause] this time a keeper by kearns off the left gap he'll take the football down to the 30-yard line [Applause] echo zone read right there with jones he put the ball right into his lap and then pulled it as will brock came up to make the tackle kern's just reading it and then taking it by himself whistle and we have a flag from the far side official [Music] so third and two will turn into third down and seven and a couple of penalties early on on middle creek here's a look at the middle creek sideline andre jacobs randy ragland as the head coach he was 58-17 here at middle creek and this time kearns on that zone read again but the patriots were there they'll bring up fourth down [Music] interesting decision coming up here on fourth down kind of in no man's land again look at the penetration by pinecrest i mean they're just getting into the backfield beating the blocks will brock again back there and then the teammates followed it up here three hats coming over nowhere to go for kerns it looks like the punting units coming out on the field a really good punt for hoskins on his first attempt a 54-yarder cobble be back there along with noah hartford hoskins liner this time angling it and a little puffin corner kick gets it down to the one-yard line boy he couldn't have stuck that one any better could he a 34-yard punt down to the one gracious [Applause] so it's been a season of slow starts early on for the patriots despite their sterling 2-0 start they fell behind to roseville 7-0 they get 14-8 they do lead here in this game via the pick six as we approach the midway point on this friday night rival broadcast in the first quarter they're coming out on offense again with the backup robert heider the senior and that time a little bit of a a better push for nazir seagraves let's take a look at the lineup and you see the change with hyder at quarterback he's got some good weapons at his disposal though jr talk it out and see starting lineups for the patriots well dowd and seagraves are really good in the back film that offensive line has done a nice job this season getting pushed up front and really establishing everything for this offense so they moved the chains to the patriots and they will get the football out across the 15 up to the 17-yard line a gain of nine there's a look at the defense jay who do you like on this side of the boat strawbush is a huge guy down that defensive line with power and speed up there he creates havoc in the middle of the defense grant gary in the back end as well this is a very fast and physical mustangs crew shutout last week against garner andre jacobs very pleased with how they've been progressing these shutouts jay are no small feat teams are scoring a lot of points early on here this season it seems like most teams don't play defense so when you find a couple squads with the patriots and mustangs that really focus on that side of the ball that's why they have such high hopes to go deep into the playoffs because they know they can rely on their defensive units there's a lot of talented athletes on that side of the ball for both squads it's hunter knifert there in the foreground of your screen one of the receivers for the patriots they'll send him in motion now and we're gonna have a timeout taken by pinecrest [Applause] second and nine play in just a bit when we return to live action here out of this timeout as uh both sides go to their respective sidelines and huddle they're in the left side of your screen there he is he's the interim coach bob curtin eight years as an assistant here he's the wrestling coach retired u.s army lieutenant colonel was serving our nation for 24 years real positive leadership personified and jay you love the fact now you would never have been able to do this as a player they practice early early in the morning 6 a.m practices which means you're not waking up at 6 a.m you have to be at the field at 6 a.m ready to go so these players are showing discipline getting up at 4 4 30 every day going to practice and he's so impressive the first word that comes to mind when you think of bob kern is a leadership he's the leader he's humble and he's got this program flying high two impressive victories are here early on started the 2019 season 5-0 looking to move to 3-0 here tonight their offense deep in their own territory here on their second drive hyder a little bubble screen but it was dropped intended for knightford the 6-2 200-pound junior we haven't seen pinecrest take any shots down the field short passing game quick runs and brody karis not in the ball game again we'll see you know how this offense kind of changes up their schemes but a third and long situation coming up right here this offensive line has to stay strong and give time to throw this one almost intercepted nice job to step in and knock the football away there by josh look high high right here just sitting in coverage and jumping in front good recognition jumping in the passing lane see the mustangs here if you don't get to the quarterback get your hands up you saw two defenders put their arms up to try to knock that down that ball by hyder it's a much better effort it'll come down and roll and it will be downed at the 44 yard line that'll be a 38 yarder with an update on brodie karis marilyn payne i've come over to this pinecrest sideline and while brody carris is here and we watched a number three jersey warm up he is not dressed for this game tonight so this will be robert's team moving forward number 14 will be your quarterback for the patriots for the remainder of the game at least that's the way it looks for this first half harris keeping up with the plays from the lime of scrimmage along with his coaches tonight but not in any piece of his uniform right now on the sidelines thanks marilyn great job to be on top of that there here's kearns going to a second option down the sideline it's caught it'll be a first down as it's taken into patriots territory for middle creek at the 30-yard line and it's take jones out of the backfield good job by current extending the play and then just flipping it over the top look at him read the left side the field come back towards the right throw it over the top and jones doing the rest stay on the ground following the hall insurance company first down providing quality insurance products to our senior community jones back the other way very little pickup of one second to nine middle creek starting to gain some momentum their defense their efforts going over to the offensive side and you see this offense playing with some more energy kearns got by the initial wave but hanging on and dragging him down a nice job by the linebacker jaylen morgan so back to the 30 as they lose a yard and it'll be third and long patriots are going to keep coming at you jang they are and they've been doing some slants and some stunts up front to try to confuse the mustangs offensive line twins for kearns the senior who will drop plants now he'll scramble kearns throwing with a pressure on him and it's incomplete out on the far side kearns was being chased down there by will brock who's been all over the field early defensively for the patriots was intended for fairer so josiah farah the ex-receiver the senior couldn't come up with it so after the pick six on the game's inaugural possession five straight punts oh they're going to try a field goal here [Music] i'd be mindful of the fake a 47 yarder for finn bohr and it is going to be nowhere near [Applause] so a missed field goal from 47 yards and they'll turn it over on downs back to the way of pinecrest here with 316 remaining well jay how much as we look at andre jacobs there the former big south defensive player of the year at coastal carolina bought a house when he was assistant coach here two minutes from campus he was commuting to lee county as their defensive coordinator and of course they went to the title game in 2019. it's about a 40-minute drive he can walk to work now he can walk up here and he doesn't have to sit in traffic anymore a great job he's done in his past he was the coach here as well as an assistant 2013 so an opportunity when this job opened up here in august to come back home he's brought a lot of energy into the program the defensive coordinator at cleveland richmond county also as we mentioned lee county as well it's really instrumental in this defense kendall ray's been here 20 years and they're kind of collaborating on the defensive effort this year and a nice job to get in there and shoot the gap robish coming up with the tackle [Music] and the handoff going to xavier dowd joe bush was getting blocked as he made that tackle the usc upstate baseball commit a talented football player one of the anchors on that 3-4 defense xavier dowd part of a ground game that has averaged over 250 yards so far through their first couple of contests this year for the patriots so the pat's on second and long and this one's gonna be thrown away i don't know if there was a cross up or maybe that hyder thought there was some pressure coming that didn't quite get to him that internal clock may have ticked a little quickly neifert was in the vicinity but some 20 yards away yeah this is a really good secondary from middle creek brandon ely the talented sophomore basketball star langston davis josh high great gary this is a really good group on the back end with the pressure up front those guys can sit in man-to-man coverage to lock things up langston davis there on your screen a moment ago now dowd on third down and long and nowhere really for him to go [Music] [Applause] this middle creek defense is playing fast look at the penetration again and the hustle three four five hats coming over to make the tackle swarming in packs just nowhere to go in this pinecrest offense they're gonna have to do something with misdirection screens to slow down the defensive line 28 yards on his first two punts good one got that one away it's carrying beatty will get away from it at the 40. and it will roll back to the 31 yard line that's going to be a 50-yard punt jay that's the old harold robinson the long-time williamston coach says never let that punt hit the ground it's going to cost you yardage and it did there coach robinson's a wise man and what he says is true you've got to catch that ball you cannot allow it to hit the ground because then you give up extra yardage if you can catch it you've got to go and fair catch it you can stop the ball right there gorgeous night here from apex patrick johnson jason alder marilyn payne our entire crew friday night rivals and here tonight honda dealers of the carolinas fnr presented by talk it out in c from their own 31 middle creek will operate kearns guns it downfield and it's almost intercepted again and a little bit of jawing back and forth between both sides that was rudisil it was intended for rudisil [Music] [Applause] and he got bowed over there accidentally by short came up and took exception when adam booker was going deep and kearns initially looking for him there's safety help over the top so he went underneath a dangerous throw good job by ridiculous knocking that down hartford almost had the second pick of the night for this defensive unit that's plus seven on the turnover margin coming in nice job by jones to stiff-arm the initial defender but they floated the football so well and for tate jones who's a great athlete no gain it'll be third and 10. both offenses right now just having trouble figuring out the schemes of the defensive fronts trying to slow them down but middle creek again the key is to hold up up front kerns goes quickly and it's almost picked off for a third time in this game or a second time of this game almost picked off booker was the intended receiver and uh that was baptiste who had the pick six earlier look at him against sitting in coverage just falling back in the flat area and almost brought down another baptiste knew he had one it's going to be a holding penalty but it will be declined so kearns who's had some time maybe taking a pic too quick in his delivery there but it'll be fourth down to 10 and it's another three and out [Applause] this is a good one that will go back and it'll bounce down at the 22-yard line a 47-yard effort that was a great pun and then wasn't even his longest one of the night what an evening so far for david haskins [Music] and already the night possession between these two teams early on [Music] well hoskins has been one of the stars of the game with his ability to flip the field position yes and pinecrest other than the interception for a touchdown they've been starting either on their own goal line or here right around the 22 yard line so they've had a long field to go because of hoskin's punting ability little creek lost their first game of the year by seven oh a ball on the turf tried to run a little bit of a wildcat with cobb somebody zigged when they should have zagged cement cobb a talented running back receiver right here just some miscommunication in the backfield and lucky middle creek wasn't able to jump on this they lose it back to the 17. so a loss of five [Applause] trips to the right hyder gives it up the middle [Applause] and that might be the final play of this first quarter graves carried it out to the 20s there defensively and it'll be third down when we return for the patriots field position game early on they only score a defensive one friday night rivals the honda dealers of the carolinas fnr and it's presented by talk it out in c one quarter in the books we'll be back the city july in new york

offense jay's been unable to get out of neutral they're facing a third and long deep in their own territory they've got to be careful here this mill creek defense has been so good getting pressure with the quarterback situation with karis out of the ball game you know pinecrest here they got to find a way to pick it up but for the rest of this ball game how are they going to get first downs how are they going to get points they've got to find an identity hider looks right throws left and just overshoots his intended target down the sideline that'll bring up fourth down middle creek impressive defensively marilyn payne with more on that side of the ball jay just mentioned it and he's exactly right this middle creek defense proud of its pressure no matter who's at quarterback for pine crest tonight andre jacobs congratulating his defense at the quarter break for the way that it responded to seeing a backup quarterback and then cemet cobb there right trying to run the wildcat he felt really good about the way that his defense responded to those unexpected scenarios they are proud of themselves right now down just seven that two courtesy of defense from the other side well the punters have had a little bit of a say in this as well with the field position that one is boomed down to the 21 that's a 59 yarder wow well it's not only the distance but it's the hang time i mean these are moon shots both punters really helping out their team special teams that third phase of the ball game usually you see especially early on the teams that make the fewest mistakes fewest penalties and play the best special teams are the ones that win and have winning records so both sides really excelling in that third phase of the ball game we're gonna spot it at the 22 so officially a 58-yard punt but you're right jay it's not just the distance but the hang time ball on the turf but able to dive back on it is kearns let's see here zone read was coming up and kearns just couldn't hold on to the ball high for jones he recognized it jumped right on it kearns that one's low incomplete third down and long intended for fairer [Music] jay what's interesting andre jacobs when we talked to him earlier in the week talked about running the football and they've gone to the air quite a lot here yeah they've been predominantly in the four wide receiver set 10 personnel over the middle and the receivers springing for a first down and some more across the 40 out to the 41-yard line big reception and a burst of emotion for david hoskins whose start on special teams tonight 6-1 230. look at how physical hoskins is over the middle he knew he was going to get hit he just threw guys off of him four or five pinecrest defenders coming over to bring him down 21 yards i'll wake tech first down underneath kearns makes it two in a row nice catch made in traffic this time he goes to his receiver underneath the junior rudoso that was the first explosive play for this offense by hoskins and now you see the energy middle creek playing up tempo kearns keeps it and he'll scamper for a first down on second and three and he gets into patriots territory for the first time tonight we've had a team across midfield yeah this offense now you just kind of see it staying low playing with leverage more confidence now after that big play and across midfield we'll see middle creek take a takes a shot the creek with a first down lead the way at wake tech on the ground quickly as they pick up tempo carrying defenders tate jones down to the 38 and a gain of 11 back-to-back first down on this offensive line now getting to the second level that's what will allow jones to break free through the offensive line oh ball on the turf did the patriots get there did kearns pounce back on it who will the tie go to and it's going to be patriots football kearns saying that he came up with it [Applause] but pinecrest gets their second turnover zone read is so tough right there with the ball going in the lap of jones then kearns pulled it just the ball handling issue and that ball squirted out we'll see here it looks like boy that that's tough look like punkers just wrestled it away but the name of the games is turnovers the number one key in every ball game is who's gonna win the turnover battle right now the patriots have created two turnovers daniel dubose the senior backup coming up with the fumble recovery back to the line of scrimmage is hider and right now for the middle creek defense until pinecrest attacks your secondary you just want to load things up blitz up front leave your corners on an island bring the safeties up which is what kendall ray and andre jacobs is doing right now right now on the outside they're locking down their wide receivers and just loading things up i have a kendall ray here some steadiness for this defense he's been involved in this school since it opened that's hyder keeping it himself jay when you have a new head coach it is important to sometimes retain guys from the prior staff that's what coach jacobs did with coach ray well he's the guy that's so respected knows these kids has relationships with them and for jacob's coming in here during the first week of practice he's brought that pedigree that energy but also he's relied on kendall ray you know getting him kind of in tune with these players and quickly developing relationships first time across midfield tonight for the patriots they will hand it off and around the outside goes xavier dowd and dowd will be halted but not before he gets a first down he totes the pigskin down to the 37-yard line that's going to be a 12 yard gain and awakened tech first down for the patriots lead the way at wake tech that has great speed and with the mustangs loading things up in the middle that's going to be the key is for pine grass to get to the outside they've got to rely on their wide receivers blocking but if they can get to the edge they'll have an advantage hider out of the gun [Applause] toss to down starts right cuts left big collision but he's able to get positive yardage pickup of two greg reiner ross and barber on that right side of the offensive line those two guys who are leading the way getting push up front and a positive start on first down stay tuned for the my spot nc.gov halftime report we'll have this week's will riddle and brantley scholar athletes participating interviews with the principals from both schools highlights from across the country and more as it'll be a turnover here quick reminder don't wait the vaccination location at my spot nc.gov they'll have our halftime show jay another fumble ball handling issues on both sides starting to flare up here now this middle creek defense getting a turnover of their own and interesting there bob curran talked to us about running tackle overplays they loaded the left side of the offensive line on that play with ross and barber going over to that side but they couldn't execute it there and now mill creek gets the ball back they'll stay on the ground tough run inside for tate jones who gives a love tap to his right guard michael harrell the six three 265 pound junior big ugly provided a pathway for him and got him seven see if the mustangs go back to up tempo here on that last drive when they're having success they're playing fast check it he got him three and it's second and seven and somebody's helmet came off tate jones so you get a good look at tate as they help him up he's bound for ohio state playing lacrosse number four position nationally he's the number four player at his position nationally third down they're going for it in a hurry here on third down and five it is caught underneath springing free at midfield the mustangs get a first down it's hoskins he's been a star here early on with the punting ability and again going over the middle see him just kind of sit in the hole find the eyes of kerns and then just create havoc with the ball in his hands guys just bouncing off and get another first down to the patriots 43 for wake tech lead the way at wake tech on the first down there and a good surge on first and ten [Music] and that'll be kerns on the keeper i'll tell you kern's known for his strong arm but i've been impressed with his legs not a lot of room to operate he's found a way to wiggle and pick up extra yardage second and six kearns chased throws it underneath it's incomplete he wanted to get it to adam booker and it was big corey big cam horton i should say chasing him down there 42. and horton the interior this defense one of the leaders a really good job seeing the eyes of currents following him and then making the play and he's 6-2 294 he's really good at run support but look at his speed and quickness up front third down sixth play of the drive and very little there michael beatty i think went behind the back with the football didn't he did that was a basketball it was let's take a look here we go yeah we got a hand on it and now fourth down at six [Applause] kearns it's the shotgun snap kearns running kearns a sidestep kearns and a third effort does he have the first down it's going to be close [Applause] [Music] [Applause] those tackle horton finally chased him down and a gain of seven to the 31 it is a wake tech first down now jones back in the game and jones as they go quickly dances his way inside the 30-yard line that was a heck of an effort by kearns picking that up it looked like he was gonna get tackled three or four yards short and continue to fight the offensive line push now if i'm middle creek i'm going to take a shot test the secondary of pine crest there's a throw and it will be [Applause] caught out of the 30-yard line they've had success with hoskins over the middle and they're attacking the perimeter the pass to the outside but they found that open hole especially here on third and nine i look towards hoskins except for the top of the screen in the slot number 15. kearns rolling that way moving the pocket gets it underneath and it's going to be a first down to the 20-yard line and it is hoskins again good call jack he was there in the slot he ran a little up and out route there's a sprint out good job by middle creek jason willis the offensive coordinator getting kearns out on the run second and ten after the wake tech first down lead the way with wake tech for middle creek and it's gonna be some yardage for kearns and we have a timeout taken by pinecrest here as the drive now in double digits for middle creek as they're trying to knock this thing up five minutes to go on our friday night rivals telecast i know it looks like i'm trying to stop this plane but i'm not there's a nissan salesman don't let that get away this rope has more standard safety features than any car in its class so you can handle almost anything hurry in and save up to 52.62 on select models before these deals take off at fadcock home furniture and

comfort because for us home isn't simply where you live it's how you live bad home furniture and more just right [Music] mustangs are inside the cpi security red zone cpi protecting the southeast for more than 25 years second and three with a little over five minutes to go here in the half and it's going to bring up a third down and short with a pick up by jones to the 11. [Music] no gain so third down and two here they'll go up the middle and the defense was there again kessler atkinson leading the way kearns keeps it atkinson shoots the gap brings him down yeah he just flew in at the backfield really untouched you see the emotion a big play coming up here on fourth down and hoskins the top of the screen in the slot 13th play of the drive that started four minutes ago for the end zone it is delodged and it will be incomplete hoskins had it at the five and it was poked kearns just threw the ball over the top wait for hoskins get to the second level of the zone defense as he caught it he got hit a good job by prime crest just wrapping him up to knock that ball loose so pine crest from their own 13 they both are next the ball dislodged there defensively a nice job hoskins had enough for the first down [Applause] so now here's cobb again on the wild patriot formation and he will lose yardage might have gotten back to the line of scrimmage [Music] couple of defenders there owen schmitz also martin smith up front a couple of defensive linemen no gain from the 13. for middle creek right now again you look at their safeties they're playing so close to the line of scrimmage brandon neely about seven yards back [Applause] [Music] and shooting the gap pressure tackled and that is one of their great stars up front strobish 6-4 250 pounds playing with emotion mustangs defensively trying to make a stand here third and long for pine crest when we return we all wear multiple hats a different hat for every job at wake tech we have multiple hats too from welding to construction management to baking to public safety wake tech can help you determine which hat fits you best visit wake tech online or in person and try one on for size wake tech success starts here with a honda in your garage every summer adventure leads to another [Music] get an incredible summer offer on a new honda only at the honda summer sales event ready set go middle creek defensively tonight so far keeping the pinecrest offense which is averaged a gaudy 44 points per game through the first two contests out of the end zone the only score a defensive score on the game's second play from scrimmage [Music] third down and a dozen pinecrests from their own 11. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] fighter motions a receiver away they swing it there but the mustangs had it sniffed out [Applause] and they knocked it away they wanted sea graves a nice job defensively by the mustangs and that was reed fallows there so it's going to be another punt here for pinecrest [Applause] the sixth punt of this first half got it away it'll roll baity won't have a play and he knocks it out to the 48 so that's a 41-yard punt [Music] [Applause] well during the fourth quarter of tonight's game we'll be selecting the west shore home player of the game west shore home convert your old bathtub into a modern and spacious walk-in shower in just one day j middle creek has had success tonight at times moving the football but it just seems like one thing may go wrong and it throws them off a little bit but by and large they've been pretty well on schedule the last couple of drives yeah they've taken control of the ball game in the second quarter here they just haven't executed on those critical downs but they're starting to gain some momentum here especially on the offensive end kern wanted booker incomplete here's a look at the senior adam booker here's a look at currents chad kearns did not play last week it was ely in the game instead who's a great basketball player started as a freshman here at middle creek was one of the top scorers in the state but kearns had a sensational spring throwing the football on second and ten will keep it this time and kearns invades patriot territory a pickup of three to the 49. the goal for the mustangs here is to score a touchdown but use this clock right here again that zone read with jones and kearns both those guys have such talented running ability puts the defensive ends in a predicament with that ball handling with kearns pulling it there on that carry mustangs ran for 275 yards against garner [Applause] and they attempted it on the ground over 50 times that's gonna be a first down run up the hash for kearns [Applause] nice job there brock brought him down but he's able to pick up 10 as kearns for a first down that is brought to you by wake tech lead the way at wake tech quick hitter after they pick up the first down this time the patriots able to corral tate jones jones had 136 yards rushing in a couple of scores back in the spring there's a look at uh coach willett the offensive coordinator second and ten [Music] [Applause] here comes a flag and we'll see what this is about it'll be movement it appears on the mustangs [Music] [Applause] [Music] so that was a substitution penalty [Applause] [Music] patriots take a timeout well earlier this evening our maryland paint had an opportunity to talk with the teen advisory council for covet 19. patrick thanks so much i'm here with two representatives from the coven 19 teen advisory council here in wake county will you both introduce yourself to the people at home yeah my name is sandy cerganeti and i'm a junior at enlo my

this is why did you get involved and how can people go get their vaccine i got involved because in america we're really lucky that anyone 12 and up can get the vaccine if they want it it's super easy and all you have to do is walk in okay so we just got to walk in but if people need information on how to get a location set up or want to learn more about the vaccine where can they go as a resource yeah wake.wakegov.com vaccine is an amazing place to find all your locations to get your vaccines there it is everything you need to know if you're looking for information on getting your kovid 19 vaccine our two student representatives from the covet 19 teen advisory council here in wake county patrick back to you in the booth marilyn thanks a lot hey coming up it's our halftime report the

wait to vaccinate find a cove at 19 vaccine location near you at my spot nc.gov mustangs on third down or make that second down now third down upcoming a pickup of about three kind of third in a long two maybe third and three upcoming here but the ball be spotted just outside the 30-yard line at the 32. and now it looks like that the officials are going to take a timeout [Music] so jane official timeout and you got an injured player out on the field well this middle creek offense is that's matthew fancher limping off maryland payne with more on the middle creek offense looking for the end zone in this one as you see fancy there marilyn what do you have jay patrick we've mentioned jason willis name multiple times on this broadcast but his name was the first name that andre jacobs named to his athletic director in his interview he said if if i come he has to come too because of his dedication to running the football he said we need to be physical 53 carries for 275 rushing yards last week trying to replicate that here tonight to get into the end zone go on the ground this time tate jones running between the tackles first down as he takes it to the 26. it's a shot devon up front nice job clearing the path and jones starting to get into a groove right now following his offensive line as we near the one minute mark wake tech first down and here's kearns receiver caught at the 15 out inside the 10. [Applause] catches the ball he's looking to dish out punishment it's good to see these guys connecting here again and look at him here just shoving guys out of the way this offense rolling first and goal from the six are they going to get in yes they will it'll be a touchdown for middle creek a wake tech touchdown for the mustangs lead the way at wake tech here it is jones going right up the middle and then with the cut to the left side and following the blocks then just running over defender showing off the power what a huge conversion for the touchdown as we get towards the halftime break the mustangs have all the energy all the momentum on their side [Applause] borer has been perfect on his point after tries this season [Applause] [Music] and the officials blowing the whistle here [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] so the stoppage in play and where perhaps an extra point away from being tied up here is the mustangs cap a drive that started after they got a three and out they turned it over on downs [Music] and then a three and out they held pinecrest punted it out to the 48 but a 52-yard drive in eight plays and we're going to be tied up nearly here that's baptiste who comes off will shaken up he had the pick six for the game's first score [Music] so the water bucket formation and now they will motion over for the extra point [Applause] [Music] the kick is good we're tied at seven jay a really nice drive that went over two and a half minutes they did a good job mixing in the run and the pass and this is the balance middle creek was looking for and jason willard's coming in using that zone read on that last touchdown run that was just a zone run right up the middle but then you saw the diversity with this offense with the side screens the passing over the middle to hoskins kearns is really starting to feel comfortable reading the field he's really distributing the ball out to getting everybody involved and jones has been outstanding on the ground so take jones with the six yard plunge they're tied up it's been a good one here tonight on our honda dealers of the carolinas friday night rivals broadcast of course it's presented by talk it out nc we'll have an interesting one next week we'll be back at millbrook as they will host broughton and the open door kickoff about to get uncorked here open door the new way to sell your home so tow will meet leather here for borer who have the extra point [Music] [Applause] down did cobb are back but we have a whistle and we have a penalty marker [Applause] officials communicating with one another earpieces and microphones i'm gonna wave the flag off it appears [Music] all right so another crack a mulligan here for this open door kickoff [Applause] nothing wrong with that right we all have a mull again everybody needs one jim we're a couple yeah indeed one aside right [Applause] angle kick little bounce down runs away from the crowd and the big collision down knocked down at the 18-yard [Music] fun pine line here you just got to get to the halftime break and get out of here and see the special teams hustle by middle creek multiple guys going over for the tackle but they've got to find a way to get something going on the offensive end get your heads get your head coaches your assistant coach everybody together at the halftime break figure out what your identity is going to be then try to execute here in the second half because right now their offense just isn't playing up to their normal stand well that was grant gary on the tackle we highlighted him early on in our sunny spotlight but brody karis was also highlighted the senior quarterback perhaps an injury from the first game of the year lingering over got through it last week in the blowout against anson county but here they're going to take a knee [Applause] will pinecrest they'll have the football to start the second half so their offense has not gotten on the board their defense finally broke after bending quite a bit in that first half they got things going with the pick six mustangs have had the stick to it tonight they've stayed true to what they want to do on offense the defense has helped him and they are headed into halftime tied here at home against the patriots trying to win two in a row are the mustangs a really spirited first half between both sides yeah both sides playing physical this has been a defensive battle which offense is going to gain the consistency here in the second half and protect the football is going to be the huge key marilyn payne catching up with the head coach of the mustangs andre jacobs so we'll go to maryland here in just a second and she's standing by there she is right now with coach jacobs maryland it's all yours andre what did you see your offense do that enabled it to catch some rhythm and then of course eventually get across the goal line we just got to believe believe in the play calling get some blocks there they do a really good job up front by penetration on the penetrating on the defensive line so we really had to step down and take that gaps away inside and also our speed our tempo our tempo is really what pushes us to go fast and you see we got one flag with them trying to make a substitution on the field so we got to keep pushing our tempo pushing our tempo against these guys now defensively you've kept the pine crest offense completely out of the end zone what has your defensive unit done well to make that happen we knew coming in the game we had to come out and match their physicality their very physical football team never disciplined football team for us to be able to play and compete with these guys we had to come out and match their their uh max their level physicality and i thought our guys did an okay job with it in the first half we still got to play better defense against a team like this they're never down and never out we got to keep playing defense 7-7 what is the message to your team at the half finish finish we got to come back out we got to match their physicality game their great football team they playing a great conference they played great teams we have to come out and let and play high level football and be physical with these guys and let them know that we can play with them i'll let you go tell them just that thank you for your time patrick back to you i want to switch to decaf

time that borer has kicked it away [Applause] to the patriots xavier down and we'll have cobb back there as well j word that will have a new quarterback in the second half for the patriots mason conan so the third stringer will get the opportunity here [Music] tough half offensively for pinecrest just 35 total yards in the first half they came in averaging over 341 on the season this time they go to cobb from the five cobb a hole and he'll take it 25 yards out close to the 30-yard line [Applause] with the pinecrest story from the first half here's marilyn payne [Applause] thanks patrick bob curtin obviously frustrated with his offense his inability to manufacture really anything yards or points he says he needs more from his offensive line despite the fact that brody karis is out with what he explains has been a nagging hip injury that he's dealt with even since last friday in his place now we will see sophomore mason conan who is the jv quarterback for the patriots this however his first year playing football even at the jv level curtin says he's confident that mason can control this game for the remainder because he's so good at playing in high pressured situations on the baseball field he likes the way that he commands the offensive line says i'd like to give him a little more time before i throw him out there but this is the time he needs to go out there for us tonight great report marilyn thank you coach curtin is the interim coach he's done a fantastic job what an inspiring guy retired u.s military lieutenant colonel replaced chris metzger who was there for 14 seasons took the job at montgomery county entered the army in 86 as a private and an o5 transferred to sport fort bragg to command special missions units with the joint special operations command that's pretty heady stuff second down and seven from the 32 and it's a big burst and a first down as seagraves carries it downfield to midfield nice run i'll tell you what middle creek just loading things up nine defenders in the box within six yards of the line of scrimmage they're daring pine crest to throw the ball now the problem with that is if you can get to the second level you don't have any defenders the sea graves broke through for a big game that's a hall insurance first down providing quality insurance products to our senior community that time nothing doing [Applause] and nice job to get in there make a play luke hoy [Music] and we have a patriot player down after the loss back to the 46. so that's dowd and he's gonna come off looks like he was a little shaken up you know and patrick from middle creek the first ball game of the year they played fuquay and coach jacobs got here on the fourth day of practice so still kind of learning the new schemes but they've made a quick turnaround week two you play garner shut them out 22 to nothing and then against a two-and-oh pinecrest team you look at the way they're playing the intensity this offense starting to look better the defense playing at a high level early on here in his first year quickly you're seeing the improvement and the good start in this ball game here to kind of regroup after that first quarter mason conan gives the football to spearman and the first carry for bryant spearman the senior is that seagraves it is going to be sea graves check that he gets pushed out of bounds though stops the clock with 10 15. now they wave it back in loss of one so now third and 15. third down has been a troublesome down tonight for this patriots offense down to their third string quarterback grand gear and brandon neely are both about 10 yards deep everybody else still within the first six yards of the line of scrimmage conan good arm to the air it wobbles on him a little though his receiver cannot make a play intended for knightford and a nice job to get an arm in there and knock it away by langston davis and that just shows you that andre jacobs has trust in his secondary here's jacobs going up there knocking him down but one-on-one coverage you see grant gary getting off his man coming over to help but with ely back there as well they're just loading things up trusting the secondary and man-to-man coverage again getting off of the field as defense standing strong once again [Applause] here's a punt and that was quite the first half punting display there by both punters for both sides cole boots this one down to the 15 yard line [Music] services [Music] [Music] with a honda in your garage every summer adventure leads to another get an incredible summer

game see your honda dealer of the carolinas today patrick johnson jay sunhalter and marilyn payne nice job for cole punting the football tonight 37 yards on five punts ever since that 18-yard effort for the patriots on his first punt he's been over 42 yards on his last four and middle creek their first offensive possession of the second half [Music] and it will be tate jones taking it ahead he's wrapped up coach jacobs there and jay his offense really got it going in the second quarter here's kearns on second down through the hands of his receiver it'll bring up third nate i'll tell you what you know this offense when they have balance they're dangerous with jones you're running the ball that's going to pull linebackers up and allow kearns to go over the top where he's had success with hot skins you look at his pinecrest defense they've only given up seven points the last two ball games this defense already has two turnovers they need another one here to create a short field for their offense kearns trying to set up a screen and the pinecrest defense which has answered the bell time in a timeout tonight kearns have pressure in his face that's incomplete they're gonna have to punt the football a lot of speed for the patriots and they're getting in the face getting in the backfield once again and creating havoc and now an opportunity here potentially for pretty good field position to start off this drive but special teams we've talked about how good the punters have been and how they've flipped the field position we'll see if the patriots can get it returned [Applause] 47-yard average tonight for hoskins on three punts the left foot gets it away down the sideline oh what a bounce and a roll it'll take good coverage downfield down that around the 37-yard line hoskins though down might be a cramp sportsmanship there for the patriot player to help him stretch it out a little there's jason willix now helping out as well but he's had an outstanding game punting the football and how about his huge catches over the middle jay that was a 46-yard boot and hoskins say have the training staff stretch him out well jay i don't know if hoskins might be a consideration as a punter for the player of the game but uh could be a possibility as our wake tech player of the game will bring it to you during the fourth quarter we'll select rather the west shore home player of the game make that west shore home convert your old bathtub into a modern and spacious walk-in shower in just one day so pine crest without their starting quarterback tonight brody karis nagging hip injury didn't really need him a whole lot last week as they blew out anson county 48-zip oh jay a beautiful night high school football week three of the season lots of interesting developments here and unfortunately we've had some games that have been postponed in areas all across the state jay was looking through some stuff earlier and we're getting some messages after last week's game about other games around and this must be a pretty determined cramp there because they are really working on oscar trying to get him stretched out there and back he's been very busy tonight so jay after losing to midway in week one hopton beat hyde trask last friday night 92-62 so hopton has scored in their first two games of the year 82 and a half points per game they traveled to east columbus tonight is that really good offense a really bad defense well they've done into two games yeah but that doesn't mean they've played good defense well i can't speak to that but and then midway coveted issues they were not back out there to play this week they had an opponent canceled and they had some of their own covet issues they were going to play east duplin but that game did not materialize back to live action here [Music] best starting field position of the night for the patriots gain of three from the 38 up to the 41 as mason conan look at all the mustangs right there in the teeth of the defense right at the line of scrimmage [Applause] here's a nice bit of reverse field running by cobb but he's chased down trailing the play and dragging him down an excellent defensive effort made there by isaiah descare so idea isaiah describes trailing the play like you talked to dj and when cobb reversed it he was there that was a great job when he got that stiff arm just keeping his hips low and wrapping up to make the tackle on cobb and now another third and long situation the name of the game for pinecrest is they've got to get to the outside they're not being going to be able to do anything in the middle of this defense that crowded line of scrimmage they need to go to the outside they lost four throw caught first down nice delivery from the jv starting quarterback the third stringer here tonight as he spots colin martin the senior oh and i liked how they were attacking down the field here look at this throw good job reading the defense then throttling the needle and then coming over and trying to break that ball loose and dislodge it good job just possessing again the first down that's a hall insurance first down providing quality insurance products to our senior community pickup of 13. and now they stay on the ground with sea graves nazir seagraves the 5 10 170 pound junior and we have another player appears to be cramping jay in the first half statistically 184 yards of total offense for middle creek just 35 from that first half for pinecrest three through the air so that was their biggest play tonight throwing the football and a healthy gain of five there creates a second down and five tonight's game is powered by united rentals building futures together provides that great end zone shot and chris walsh i think he could lift it up a little more i don't know if chris is afraid of heights chris yeah chris looking good out there chris goes he hangs out in the end zone united reynolds lift gets a sandwich chills out some great shots though that that enhances this coverage greatly to have that end zone shot jake oh yeah beautiful beautiful shots here the action the whole crew doing a great job they really are five minutes gone by here in the third this is the longest pinecrest drive of the game conan hand off [Applause] [Music] graves [Applause] bring up third down and about four secrets just kind of knifing through there getting what he could at least making it manageable now here on third down this offense doing a better job up front getting some push they converted a third down a moment ago they got a 13-yard pickup shotgun conan swing pass and a good bit of determined running along the sideline and a first down this time they go to knifefort who somehow got across the sticks good knifeford here quick pass good accurate throw and here's the fight just plowing through putting your head down and driving to get the first down and a huge pickup converting on a third down opportunity gain of eight as we go inside of six minutes hall insurance insurance hall insurance group first down providing quality insurance products to our senior community oh ball on the turf it's picked up though by sea graves talk about making something out of absolutely nothing the proverbial chicken salad out of chicken squat [Music] let's see here ball handling has been an issue on both sides good job just picking up and then getting what he could a couple yards and brandon ely the star sophomore safety coming back into the ball game he just left a few plays to go with the cramp so inserting himself back into the lineup he's been really good on the back end ely's brother a quarterback here in 2018 had another brother that played second down seven and seagraves carrying the pile seagraves gets it down to near the 20-yard line this offense [Music] finding something here on this drive in the offensive line just doing a better job locking up up front that's a good block by cobb leading the way you look at the leverage just chopping their feet up front everybody pushing their man downhill all insurance group first down there from the 22-yard line and they'll lose yardage this time [Music] boy also in on the play loss of one back to the 23 second down 11. four and a half remaining third quarter entertaining game here 7-7 pinecrest looking for their first offensive touchdown this is the 10th play of the drive nice move and good running and inside the five ball came loose they say little creek says they came up with it [Music] it was cobb that time and it's gonna be a turnover the second of the night for pinecrest cobb got it down inside the five and coughed it up let's see up here sea graves excellent block up front then cobb looked like he was going to finish it off maybe get in the end zone green gary with the huge hit it looked like he just ripped it after he's holding cobb up high came in as well with the hit look at number eight gary he was just holding him up continuing to go for the ball has the nose for the ball and you get that huge turnover and what a play we highlighted gary in the open three interceptions on the seasons leading the state in that category and here getting a huge turnover right when his team needed it with the strip he comes up with his fourth takeaway of the year as he recovers the fumble good look there the senior grant gary six 370-pounder no gain on first and ten from their own five kearns and jones is the pinecrest defense jars it loose ball down in the endzone [Applause] the patriots either wanted a safety or a fumble they didn't want that whistle be blown they're gonna say it's forward progress and the whistle was blown and then the fumble occurred look at the defensive line here nowhere to go for jones three four defenders in the backfield boy they wanted that going their way but the whistle was blown this is it just feels like kind of a momentum play in the game here jay from the two this is kearns time senior quarterback pressure situation he's had success with hoskins number 15 back in the ball game coming in with that cramp he missed a series but he's back in now and a flag down is that a delay of game coach jacobs wants to know it's going to be procedure against his mustangs so the fault start moves him back to the one [Applause] i've not had a ton of penalties in this thing yeah middle creek had a few early on but they really cleaned it up when they did they started to move the ball here though they're third and 14 from their own one kearns under pressure throws out complete we'll see if it's enough to get a first down rude asylum and it is not going to be enough rude maybe thought he had it [Music] here's the throw and rudosil was just short there good pressure though jay to cause kerns to unload it a little sooner than he wanted yeah and a defensive line again taking over rudisil found the open spot of the zone on a dig route but it's a good tackle by pine crest hodkins with another really good punt a little bounce and roll to the patriots 43-yard line [Applause] that's going to be a 44-yard effort wow great night kicking the football honda dealers of the carolinas friday night rivals presented by i know

starts here [Music] low scoring but competitive here tonight it's been a good one between pinecrest and middle creek jay as we near the two-minute mark in the third next week broughton millbrook wesley grimes who has a big decision he'll be announcing this week on tuesday he's making his announcement nc state in the race he's got offers from north carolina tennessee south carolina east carolina duke wake forest a lot of acc and sec school so by next friday we'll know where his decision lies but he's a talented wide receiver one of the best in the state in the region pine crest got it down to the five yard line before a fumble sea graves takes it on first and 10. he's out across the 45 up to the 47. so a pickup of four here second at six and we've got an injury on the field see graves though starting to pick up see uh steam as he looks like he's running pretty strong and some cramping issues for this mustangs team well you look at all the offers for grimes for millbrook some of the top teams in the nation as you mentioned big 12 sec aac the atlantic coast conference brigham young also in there so it's gonna be interesting to see what that decision will be and we'll be able to be taking a look at him nc state appears to be the front runner boy that would be a big pick up for dave doran who is uh continuing to have to battle go head-to-head with a lot of top players in the state with mac brown and of course upstate beating our pirates the other night jake of course you played at ecu and half state looked pretty good but westley grimes the top receiver in the state came in with well over 300 yards mountain island charters cole hart was just behind him in second place in myers park the receiver thomas sits third right now in the state and receiving yards early on grimes now one of the best wide receivers in the country six feet three inches tall but he's got that speed a really good route runner the hand-eye coordination you want on the deep explosive passing plays and we saw last week beau atkinson committed to north carolina we're really impressed with him and his ability and how hard he plays you know nc state has been after grimes hard so we'll see where his commitment is to on tuesday but this ball game here i've been impressed with both sides the biggest thing patrick i see is the defense and whenever you've got a good defense you're gonna have the ability to make a long playoff run well the patriots after the turnover a three and out mustangs had to punt it deep from their own territory that's field position for the patriots tonight now they have a second and seven [Applause] [Music] and that's gonna be cobb he had the fumble cobb ahead picks up two to the 49. [Applause] and the mustangs [Applause] coming up with the tackle [Applause] now with thomas leading the way that's the right tackle barber who had to come out after losing his helmet so they have replaced him in the lineup with jaden diggers the junior third down cut inside spin first down excellent run by xavier dowd [Music] look at dowd right here just getting to the outside making one man miss and here's the speed grand gary coming up with a hard tackle a huge conversion to pick up the first down that's a hall insurance group first down providing quality insurance products to our senior community hall insurance group xavier dowd six foot buck 85 the senior an important run for him and they'll go back to dowd again this time the mustangs were there [Applause] [Music] inside of a minute this offense we've seen a lot of powers counters tackle overs tonight very good with their just basic consistency of calling plays they don't do anything flashy but when they run a power they run at a high level but this has been a good defense they've been going against it's really been a fun matchup to watch in the trenches patriots ran for 363 yards in the opener against roseville that time they lose yardage good job to get into the backfield and disrupt things that's jackson healy see here the penetration jumping lunging out a nice job by healy the senior coming through there getting off the offensive linemen for a huge play that's how we'll end the third 7-7 is our score after three and a big third down and long for the patriots on the other side of this timeout

a punt [Music] [Applause] [Music] rolling throwing down field it's in the air it is gonna be caught no incomplete i thought he dragged it down what an effort colin martin and there defensively jay you preview him early on grant kerry we talked about him being a lockdown corner here it is one-on-one coverage on the outside stride for stride goes up almost comes down with the interception but look at the focus right there the arms went up he put his arms and knocked that ball out what a huge play a critical third down get off the field [Applause] let's see what pinecrest does here they'll have to angle it beatty well they're gonna run the fake here's the throw it's caught out in the flats and they're gonna turn it over on downs this could be the break that the mustangs need [Applause] [Music] and we've got an injured mustang player and it looks like another cramped situation [Music] well you hate it these cramps are popping up but it's tough on the kids let's take a look at this fake though james well i like the aggressive play call here pinecrest on the road but a little bit of offensive rhythm here and trying to catch middle creek by surprise but this was really good being aware of your keys seeing that it was a fake and then running over to make the tackle noah hartford delivered a pretty good ball to wade harris there got it a little behind him i think if he hit harris a little more in stride he might have had a shot now middle creek's going to start this drive off with pretty good field position looks like they're going to be at their own 46 yard line meantime we'll

of tonight's game we'll be selecting the west shore home player of the game west shore home convert your old bathtub into a modern and spacious walk-in shower in just one day that's high coming off played a lot of snaps in the secondary tonight for the mustangs [Applause] middle creek taking over first down and a nice run by kearns brings up second down and short if you're middle creek here you've got to recognize hey great field position we're in the fourth quarter it's time for us to turn it on here get a drive going score points and it's going to be a first down is kearns taking over with his legs now for middle creek a wake tech first down lead the way at wake tech we've seen this offense played their best and they've gone up tempo right now no huddle playing fast pinecrest on their heels 12th straight winning seasons for the mustangs they've averaged 10 wins a year during that time here's a throw by kearns down field it is going to be incomplete a lot of contact downfield and adam booker wanted a flag [Applause] booker one of the senior leaders on this team coach jacobs talked with us comes in at 6am before school starts goes to the weight room and gets his workouts in he's one of those leaders on the wide receiver group he's been so productive there double coverage but still with that height he's trying to go up and high point it back to live action second at 10 kerns keeps kearns darts out of bounds late flag comes in though back at the 50. [Music] [Applause] okay let's go back to that pass play trayvion short i thought initially he might have got away with one there but it seemed like there was kind of pushing on both sides there they just let it go so it's gonna be a personal foul against the mustangs here and jay that was trailing the play by a good 10 yards or so it's huge now you go and look at this second and a mile here now for kerns you just got to protect the ball be careful here but he's really done a nice job of moving outside the pocket so i'd look for middle creek to try to get him on the run through the run pass combination here where he can read the field so from the 36 second and 25 kearns rolling kearns dumps it underneath caught at the 40-yard line and uh nice tackle made we've got another piers cramp as rudisil made the catch rick kearns keep his eyes up going back to reuters just a smart play there he saw the deep coverage was locked up with his wide receivers to win underneath now still third and long coming up again i look for him to get outside the pocket pressure throws grabbed out of the air but he's going to be shy of the first down what a grab by booker leaving his feet the hand-eye coordination giving up his body we'll see him here as kearns rolled out he saw his favorite target there and just [Applause] ripped it out of the air look at him here this ball high just plucked it right out you know this is a tempting call here andre jacobs decided to go for the punt you know cross midfield this offense finding its way back his goal here is to have hoskins pin the patriots back inside their 20. that was a pickup of 14 but they are several yards shy about five well they run a fake no that one's gonna go into the end zone oh takes a four two at his bounce i thought but then breaks the plane it'll be a touch back pinecrest from their own 20. we're knotted at seven friday night rivals in apex with a honda in your garage every summer adventure leads to another [Music] get an incredible summer offer on a new honda only at the honda summer sales event ready set go okay i need this to be as eye-catching as our new scratch-offs yes new scratch-offs new look for your special day no no next oh yeah no okay it feels scratchy i'm just not sure it says new scratch-offs try those on for science new scratch-offs need new kicks boom [Music] so here we are with 9 19 to go in this ball game honda dealers of the carolinas bringing you friday night rivals it's presented by talk it out nc patrick johnson j sunholder with you [Music] mustang defense has answered the bell many times tonight jay this is a pinecrest group without their starting quarterback they're down to the jv starter who's a third down he's looked good at times tonight has mason conan here in the second half he's got an important drive coming up here to the sophomore as they'll stay on the ground and run it off the right side first and ten i'll operate from the 20 after the touchback and uh we've got another mustang player slow to get up after the gain of six well you look at this ball game within nine minutes now who's going to step up and make a big play who which team is going to make a mistake we've seen three turnovers some ball handling issues that's the number one key is to protect the football for pine crest couple turnovers tonight for the patriots they've cost coughed it up a couple of times and uh marquez smith in on the tackle there of dowd and andre jacobs spoke very highly of smith nose tackle really good athleticism been double teamed all night and they're shooting into the backfield [Applause] no gain it's third and short [Applause] sea grave stacked up good job defensively by the creek there [Applause] and uh they were led by owen schmitz owen schmitz was another player that they talked glowingly about to coach in our meetings with him this week fourth and three here they tried to run the fake punt last time certainly you wouldn't do that where you are here baby awaits the punt from cole who's been excellent tonight over 40 yards through the air fair catch called for and he makes the grab down at the 31. that one with plenty of hang time it went 42 yards so seven and a half to go we've seen a lot of fine plays on both sides of the ball for pine crest it's been a dif disciplined approach all year marilyn payne with more on that this pinecrest team is a chippy team in terms of its personality according to their head coach bob curtin but he prides himself on his team's discipline as well as its fitness on the field and right now their attitudes are high they feel confident that they can wear down middle creek and every time you both are commenting on another middle creek athlete who's having a cramp this confident pine crest team says something else about how they've still got this rudesell comes open reutecil with a big gainer the biggest play from scrimmage tonight from the 31 in their own territory down to the 33. okay kearns here moving his eyes left to right rudisil dashing over on a crossing route good job here with yards after the catch look at him here this speed make a man miss get 10 extra yards and a first down for middle creek and it's sponsored by wake tech lead the way at wake tech jay it's not an overly hot or humid night we're seeing a lot of cramping we mentioned the great harold robinson the coach of williamston for all those years and another very wise thing is that's fairer who's being stretched out there the cramps don't really what causes them isn't so much what the conditions are on the day of the game it's nutritionally and for hydration are you taking care of yourself the day before the game yeah it's hard hydration especially in august it's so tough and it's you know a thing when you get hot weather maybe isn't the highest temperatures today but this week during practice it was extremely hot especially early on in the week these guys are putting so much effort into their bodies during practice it's got to be a key focus you can see how it's impacting the ball game for middle creek tonight 42 yards officially on that play for the wake tech first down kearns drops throws it is in the air here comes a flag now is this going to be a late hit as that was intended for hoskins downfield by the way just going to go against the nose tackle on a late hit or is this a hold it looks like the indication is hands to the face but could it be against one of the linemen up front they've had some changes no carter jacobs at right tackle in this game that's harold there 74. it is going to be a hold against middle creek [Applause] so back him up to the 37-yard line let's see [Music] cam horton the nose tackle was held as going back towards kearns adam steerham the center so first down and 20. and jay they backed that up from the spot of the foul back to the actually the 46-yard line so that cost him 15 yards kearns out at the 46 so no gain the hold as we saw on the replay was well behind the line of scrimmage so the spot foul there and that now brings up a second in very long here's the throw along the sideline sliding catch booker good hands third down but we have a marker that was a great route by adam booker it's a deep out route cut it at about 12 yards came back to the ball nice catch it looks like this is coming back [Applause] so that's an illegal shift now that'll back them up to their own 48. look at this job by booker the ball a little bit behind him got his feet in nice job i've been really impressed with his route running really good player the seniors very reliable at 6-488 [Applause] kearns lobs it down the sideline off the hands incomplete booker again good job defensively by short that's been a fun matchup tonight between those two yeah treyvion shot short being physical him and booker kind of locked up there and just slowed him down just enough a little bit of a push there right there right at the end extended the arms kind of a lot of a push it wasn't called so it was a little bit but you can't extend those arms you can nudge but you can't push so that goes down as a nudge right no flag is a nudge third and an eternity kerns pops it underneath gets it to jones jones will be spun down and the patriots defense has come up with a big set of plays today greatly aided by a couple of penalties but still they bowed their necks and made a stand the penalties certainly halted this drive but you're right the pressure in the backfield and just the relentless pursuit of the ball every time the middle creek receiver running back has the ball they're running in packs and really hustling over to bring him down [Applause] [Music] from the 41 fielded off a bounce cobb was there and he got out of bounds it's like [Music] maybe around the 15 16 yard line that's going to be a 34-yard punt i'll check that a 27-yard punt so 552 to go here [Music] minecraft from their own 14-yard line jay and they've gotten it going on the ground they've been able to find something up the middle might you see them go to the air a little bit here especially deep in their own territories we're inside of the halfway point of the fourth no motion to man and they will throw down field it will be out of the reach of the intended receiver they were looking for martin there jones who's checked in on defense was playing center field jones has been one of the stars of the game on the offensive end the running back position will see him here locked up in 101 coverage i like the shot of pinecrest though go ahead see the coverage out there no safety help over the top and try to make an explosive play the ball just a little bit overthrown hustle ely back in now defensively gonna throw again and this one off the hands at the 20 of knifeford [Applause] might have been tip knightford had greengrass ahead of him had he been able to hang on a lot of room to run on that outside again we've been talking all night about middle creek selling out to stop the run loading things up in the middle of that defense there's opportunities on the outside but these creek defenders have not given up much made to be in coverage third and ten conan low snap conan throws and that'll be incomplete got twisted on the route there did neifert jay's got a good arm but that's just those guys haven't worked a whole lot together yeah and you know i mean when you're coming into a ball game and you're not getting those reps in practice it's hard especially in critical situations here in the fourth quarter 7-7 tie where you have to throw the ball it's tough especially against great defense like middle creek and this is really turned in to a special team battlefield position battle we'll see if middle creek can take advantage of it high snap the punt away beatty tripped up great tackle downfield really nice job to get down there and make the play by wade harris [Music] that was a 41-yard attempt there on the punt and a return of three the ball was snapped a little high and it's going to be it looks like against pine crest personal foul you don't see that a lot do you i think that's going to go against the mustangs this happened on the punt didn't happen on the return it looks like some confusion and a middle this is going to be on middle creek 15 yards back so i think our head official just pointed in the wrong direction [Music] and jay again i think that was more on that near-errant snap had something to do with that cole getting it away and it might be running into the kicker or something along those lines or andre jacobs halfway he's about on the hashes out on the field looking for an explanation there's jacobs he's on the hashes inching towards midfield well jay he is a guy that certainly is been a prime defensive coordinator in his time at some big stops jacobs as we mentioned started his coaching career here but at coastal carolina the defensive player of the year in the big south back in 2010 two-time all big south on the defensive side [Music] and now about to have a word with coach jacobs [Music] is the referee i think the confusion at least for coach jacobs comes from they initially pointed in the pine crest direction i got a back pedal there you can see why he's such a good linebacker there you go back pedal to the sideline this big drive for this offense now 531 left on the clock you have another crucial penalty go against you i snap there and it's going to cost middle creek yardage kearns lit up by scott also brock will brock's been living in the backfield scene number nine just shoot through unblocked little creek up front you've got to he's making it easy you get the penalty and then the sack here now this offense is back peddling loss of four second down 14. another bad snap kearns throws picked out of the air it's going to be taken in for a score their second pick six of the game that's atkinson in from 18 yards out see kessler atkinson just kind of sitting in coverage there as kearns threw it out trying to get it out of bounds and it was will clean yeah will brock in his grill now three turnovers this patriots defense has created what a crucial time here in the fourth to come up with a big play up and through on the wake tech touchdown followed by the extra point the patriots have just found a way tonight this defense has been sturdy not giving up the big play finding ways to create those turnovers getting in the backfield getting the penetration and the biggest moments here in the fourth quarter they found a way to make some plays in middle creek now their backs are against the wall 454 left this offense is gonna have to pick their heads up and get something going here because all the momentum is over on the patriot sideline so on the second snap of the game it was an interception take him back for a score kern's pick for the second time tonight and you see the dejection from the students and fans in attendance here at mustang stadium [Music] two and two in their last four home games before that they had won 21 out of 26. so they've had a really great record here at home tough to beat in this stadium and pinecrest now inside of five minutes with a pick six and they've got a little more hitch in their giddy up right now now middle creek they're gonna have to have a quick response here again a bad things happen sudden change this offense has to go back out and forget about that and find a way to muster up a driver the number one key is they've got to block brock up front he's been creating havoc getting in the backfield they've got to shore things up and give kearns time to throw the ball it's time for the open door kickoff here in this fourth quarter open door the new way to sell your home wow [Music] jay nothing wrong with the mustangs defense they shut out garner last week they've kept the offense for pinecrest off the board tonight but two pick sixes in the game and this one will sail into the end zone for a touch back so with 4 54 to go kearns has to come out has thrown his second and third interceptions of the season started their first game out last week [Applause] had seven picks in the spring came in nine of 18 for 106 yards in the opening game tonight he's been very effective with his legs he's also done a good job of moving the pocket to spot receivers and and give them time to get open against this sticky defense for the patriots but a couple of bad snaps and it put him in a really tough position just trying to make a play you're missing carter jacobs up front as well some penalties you know this offense just hasn't found the consistency they're hoping for kearns off the hands of jones at the 20. second down and again i talked about they've got to forget what just happened still plenty of time here you know but you've got to find a way to kind of huddle up and get positive yards here not hold your head down and hoskins is so good in the first half i think they've got to find a way to get the ball to number 15. another bad snap ball pops out it's on the turf is it going to be recovered by the patriots or did kern get back on it kern was able to recover kearns [Music] [Applause] picks it up at the nine a loss of 11. the ball a little bit slow he just couldn't hold on to it and look at pie crust hustling over luckily kearns jumped on it but that was close jay that was great effort by the senior quarterback really good job there just him and two defenders looks like i've got a lineman hurt or injury yep [Music] the center adam straren coming off all right time now for our drive of the game as they continue to attend as the training staff here and let's look at it jay drive of the game it was the pick six got in trouble there brock making the play and then brock after the bad snap pressures kearns it's up in the air atkinson free path all green as he takes it in for six that was created from the pressure then atkinson taking advantage of it this deep that's been so good all night coming up huge here in the fourth quarter alissa martez smith is there [Applause] back up center shotgun snap kearns gets chased down from behind and it's atkinson again gosh he's played so good tackling machine get the interception now on second down huge sack to make it third and 23 but the junior leader outside linebacker will see him here coming off the edge on a blitz him and brock racing to get the sack [Music] so they're gonna have to punt on fourth down and 26 now [Music] and the ball goes through the end zone it'll be a safety and that'll make it 16-7 scorigami time now in apex patriots with the advantage up nine there's a lot to be said for pinecrest they didn't make mistakes tonight their offense was having trouble they relied on their defense their special teams have been solid and they forced middle creek to make mistakes they created three turnovers and now a special team's heir and the patriots sitting in the driver's seat 16-7 317 left and getting the ball back one of their leaders tonight has been atkinson with great play coming off the edge j next week they will take on grimsley who was in the title game back in the spring they'll have an off week and then they open the conference on the road against richmond county this has to be the toughest schedule in the state with roseville week one anson county has a long tradition they blew them out middle creek one of the top teams parentally in the east on the road you get outstanding grimsly enrichment team i mean this has been an extremely challenging schedule and looks like pinecrest is gonna be three for three here to start the season well it's a senior class that as jv players for pinecrest beat richmond's jvs they beat scotland's jvs and coach curtin told us this week this is a group that just feels like that they're never out of a game they're going to win and it did not look good at times tonight with the third string quarterback in there but the defense and the special teams play has held them in it and now they have the lead up nine with 3 17 to go and the free kick about to come from the mustangs here jay you get a couple of first downs here and can run some clock trying to milk this thing and nice it away here got to take care of the football though they have fumbled it a couple times in this matchup tonight five turnovers between the two sides short kick caught at the 40-yard line and a return ahead to the 48. [Applause] [Music] so hartford well jay our player of the game and it went late into this thing but it's got to be atkinson he's been outstanding all night long creating pressure going into pass coverage he's been all over the field and you see here this was a game-changing play on this interception pick six right in the perfect spot for that interception and the emotion the leadership ability and here another huge sack to get off the field and force fourth down kessler atkinson has been a star tonight tonight's west shore home player of the game is kessler anderson congratulations to him west shore home convert your old bathtub into a modern and spacious walk-in shower in just one day [Applause] [Music] eight straight winning seasons for this pinecrest program and you see fairer coming off jay there maybe up to eight guys at least maybe more that have come off with cramping issues tonight it's not a huge effect on this ballgame and everybody's been able to come back into the game but they've had to sit out a series or at least a couple plays you've got a tight ball game and all these starters are going in and out of the lineup that's huge [Music] conan hands the football off the seagraves and sea graves gets stopped there by martes smith how about conan in this ball game coming in the second half what he's been able to do to stabilize this offense [Applause] jay that was actually the senior omar pemberton who carried the football and that's his first carry of the night they they don't have any backs that are these breakaway guys or they're just determined runners in this lineup for pinecrest and they wear you down and i think we've seen that here in the second half there's a lot of depth at that position and not only do they run well but they block many times we'll see two back sets where the lead man will be the fullback really and then on the next play they'll get the ball so very unselfish backfield but they've held on to the football and that's the most important thing right now just continue to move this clock but hold on to the ball game possession and ice this game down bob curtin named the interim coach in june and their a.d jeff hewitt saying they'll head into the off season and make a decision here i don't have a vote that counts but i'm going to go with coach curtin what do you think he's one of the most impressive coaches we've talked to when we have our weekly meetings uh he's just one of those guys that you want to play for he commands respect and he cares so much about his players second down and ten [Applause] and a good run there by seagraves gets it to the 49-yard line so pick up about four it'll be third down make it third and seven as they say it was just a gain of three but middle creek takes the time out stops the clock with 250 to go bob curtin and i thought i didn't get a lot of sleep sonny bob curtin says he only gets a few hours of sleep but he'll wake up in the middle of the night and go to his football notebook [Music] if he has like you know a dream and dreams upside he'll write it down so while you and i are snoring he's right there coaching in the middle of the night well in a way he is because they start practice at six in the morning all right maryland more on the kind of curious sleeping habits of coach curtin yeah the sleeping habits are curious but the background is nothing but impressive he's a retired u.s army lieutenant colonel he's originally from long island enlisted in the army rangers in 1986 assigned to the 75th ranger regiment he then came down to fort bragg he in 2005 began leading and commanding the special missions unit within the joint special operations command so he's endured a lot with very little sleep over the course of his life he just had his son graduate high school and go on to carolina he's a sophomore there he said he really has enjoyed being the head coach since the middle of the summer because it helps him fill his time he said his wife was pretty relieved with him having something to do as well [Laughter] so a big stop there on third down by the middle creek d they'll burn a timeout 2 45 to go now and that'll be the final mustangs t.o here patriots on fourth down we'll see what they'll come up with coach curtin i mean army west point this is a great gentleman real impressive guy jay all right would you have made the 6 a.m practice i would have had to i probably would have not been very good for the first hour but i would have had to pour water on my head or something to wake up but i guess at some point you get used to it i don't know well i'm an early riser so you do get you don't ever really get used to it but you kind of do an away game i think i think what you have to do is you have to have like some hitting drill to start a process the good thing about that is that you have practice in the morning yeah most of these guys have weightlifting during the day yeah so when school's out you're done for the day hit the books yeah you can hit the books study up but how about the job he's done tonight travis scales the defensive coordinator on the offensive side dave sundine what they've been able to do working together as a team has been very very impressive up nine punt a rainmaker that will bounce and roll back patriots will down it that's going to go in the books [Applause] it's just a 12-yard punt had that bad 18-yard punt that went off the side of his foot early in the game and now middle creek no timeouts jay they've got to go here still a lot of time with two and a half they've got to score and then try to get an onside kick in recovery snap to kearns kearns with pressure kerns will go down and that is scott jaden scott with the sack jayden scott defensive end six one two thirty we'll see him fly here off the edge as defensive line just taking over so they'll lose 11 on the sack there back to the 26 and another bad snap [Applause] and kearns has to dive on the football again well this offense has to hold their composure together right now i mean they still got time but pinecrest is just riding this momentum wave pinning their ears back especially this defensive line knows it's going to be a pass and they're getting pressure so they lost seven more there third down and forever throw and that time it was the nose tackle giving chase horton on kearns and he had to just sling it across the middle incomplete horton moves really well for a big guy doesn't he 6-2 294 he's a physical guy up front too talked about him facing the double teams tonight he's gotten into the backfield but when you see him run i mean his speed is top-notch for an interior defensive lineman kearns heaves near sideline and it's going to be incomplete one at booker and they will turn it over on down [Applause] gutsy effort by booker tonight kearns let down a little bit by some bad snaps late and this relentless pressure from the patriots and those that made the hour plush trip from pinecrest celebrating in a big way [Music] tough night there hoskins on offense and on special teams was really excellent so a minute 23 hun chris going to take a knee and they're going to move to 3-0 for the second time in three seasons you know and this victory is big because they faced a really talented middle creek team and they passed the test but i'm even more impressed with the ability to fight through adversity pine crest did not play their best ball game their offense wasn't rolling tonight but they found a way to win their defense stepped up in huge moments their special teams played really well so when your offense is just kind of doing enough your other sides of the ball have to pick it up and coach curtin has to be so pleased with how his team fought here tonight and made critical plays at the biggest moments bob curtin eight years of assistant at pine crest helps in some other sports just helps with the athletic department this jv quarterback will take it he's the wrestling coach and his team displayed some real toughness tonight and jay after every play we noticed it there they helped the opponent up they've shook hands they've not gotten to a lot of drawing they have a lot of respect for this football game coach jacobs his group will fall to one and two a tough luck loser here at home tonight it was the pine crest defense that bailed an offense that was down to their third quarterback out tonight a couple of pick sixes and then a special team's miscue all the scoring for pine crest but in these special seasons potentially you just find ways to win games yeah that's what they did tonight i mean the offense when you've got your starting quarterback out someone else has to step up the defense early on with baptiste and then atkinson with that final interception two pick sixes were huge they had pressure all night their running backs i thought were really good especially in big moments and they did enough on the offensive end in middle creek tonight you see the talent you see the flashing of big plays they've just got to put it all together patriots with the victory they're now 3-0 a word with the winning coach when we return our
