The
Jaguars started off slow and did not get on the board until the second quarter.
Early on, it looked as though the Huskies would score the first touchdown when
a Husky defender picked off a John Crawford pass and took it all the way to the
end-zone. But a roughing the passer penalty took the touchdown off the board.
Hunter
Huss would however get on the board first with a 27-yard field-goal from Seth
Jones. But that would be the only time the Huskies had the lead. The Jaguars
would storm back. They would try the fullback dive, but fumbled it in the
end-zone. However, Forestview did recover it for a touchdown.
With
just a minute to go in the half, Forestview got the ball back. Moe Neal gashed
up the gut of the Hunter Huss defense and took it all the way for a 67-yard
touchdown run. Trey Heavener’s extra point made it 14-3. But the Huskies had
enough time for Jones to kick another field-goal. This time, it was from 37
yard out. 14-6 would be the score at half-time.
In the
second half, Forestview went back to work. A four-yard touchdown from Neal gave
the Jaguars a 20-6 lead. Heavener’s kick made it 21-6. But Hunter Huss was not
done. Andrew Jordan’s touchdown pass to Maurice Smith cut the Jaguars’ lead to
21-12. The extra point was blocked, however, and that kept it at a
two-possession score.
But
that would be as close as the Huskies got. A 19-yard touchdown pass from John
Crawford to Moe Neal and a four-yard touchdown run by Montavis Rogers made the
score 34-12. The Jaguars were in position to go for another touchdown, but this
time they would fumble and lose it. Da’shaun Currence scooped up the loose ball
and ran it out to the 12-yard line. But a holding penalty in the end-zone
forced a safety and the Huskies had to punt it off.
Each
team had two lost fumbles in this game.
“Sometimes,
you have to win games like this.” said Forestview head coach Chris Medlin “I’m
happy to get the share of the conference title and the #1 spot in conference.”
“I’m
thrilled to death to get a win on Monday Night. Since I’ve been a head coach
this is the first time we have won on Monday Night. Lost earlier this year to
East Lincoln (40-33), last year to (Huss) 24-20 and in 2007 (55-52).”
Forestview
is actually 3-4 when playing on Monday Nights. All three of those wins are on
the road.
“It
will be a tough game.” Medlin said about his team’s upcoming game with East
Gaston “We know what is at stake. This would be the team’s first ever outright
conference title.”
Forestview
will host the Warriors Friday. East Gaston started the season off 0-3 but have
won five of their last seven, including a 50-6 win over Stuart Cramer, Monday
Night.
“This
is a tough one to lose.” said Huss first-year coach Jamar McCoy “We get that interception
returned for a touchdown. If not called back, it’s a new ball game. Forestview
is a pretty good team. They have
athletes and good sized linemen that you have to find Moe Neal.”
Even
though the Huskies have clinched the top seed in the 2A division of the
conference, McKoy and his Huskies are not satisfied.
“Ashbrook
is still a major game for us. Our goal is to win that bell.”
Huss
will travel to take on the Green Wave Friday. Ashbrook won 54-14 over Lake
Norman Charter.
