Things started fast for Forestview, but then it seemed to hit a wall in the second quarter on. The Jaguars took to the air to get on the board when Colton Guthrie connected with Jared Carter for a 44-yard touchdown strike. Moe Neal then went to work with a 54-yard touchdown run to put the Jaguars up 12-0. Both kicks failed. Neal scored on a 40-yard touchdown run on the Jaguars next drive. Dylan Disarro’s kick for the extra point made it 19-0. Neal rolled up 100 yards before the first quarter ended.
The Jaguars offense went cold in the second quarter and midway through the third quarter. Lake Norman Charter had some opportunities but could not seem to capitalize until the third quarter. With Forestview set to punt, the ball sailed over the punter’s head and he was taken down at the Jaguar’s ten-yard line.
On fourth-and-one from the Forestview one-yard line, the Knights were initially stopped, but the ball squirted out from quarterback Teddy Spooner’s hands but his offensive linemen, Hunter Rollins recovered it in the end zone for the Knights’ touchdown. After the Knights recovered the on-side kick, they were back in business. Lake Norman Charter appeared to cut Forestview’s lead by six when Spooner connected with David Gonzalez for a touchdown pass. But offensive pass interference nullified the score and that seemed to sink the Knights.
Neal was not done with his heroics. Moe Neal scored two more times before this one was over. Moe Neal ran one in from the one-yard line. That was a few plays after he ripped off a 62-yard gainer. His final score was a 30-yard touchdown reception from Colton Guthrie. Both of Disarro’s extra points were good. The final score would be 33-7.
Moe Neal finished with 245 yards rushing and four touchdowns. Trell McCaskill, Marquez Gray, Josh Worthy and Jalen Sanders each recorded an interception. Forestview also recovered a fumble and the Knights recovered one Jaguar fumble.
“He had a great game. We needed it!” Forestview head coach Chris Medlin said about Moe Neal’s performance.
“It was a little bit sloppy. That’s why we put it off Friday. We didn’t want this out here. But it turns out, it didn’t clear up over the weekend.” Medlin said of the sloppy field conditions.
“We played hard, but you have to play four quarters to win a ball game and we probably only played two tonight.” said Lake Norman Charter head coach Mark Steele “Our defense tightened up in the second quarter and we stopped giving up big plays. Our d-line played really well and our linebackers played really well and that really helped us out.”
“We don’t have much time to prepare. We have to get back to work tomorrow and figure out what we have to do better from tonight and also get better for Friday.” Steele said about the short preparation for East Gaston Friday. “We got to clean everything up.”
Forestview (2-3)(1-0) snaps a three-game losing streak with the win. They will be home again Friday as they host Stuart Cramer (3-2)(0-1). Lake Norman Charter (2-2)(0-1) will be home against East Gaston (2-3)(0-1).
