After a
scoreless first quarter, the Jaguars finally broke through. Chapperal Smith got
them on the board with a 25-yard run. Dylan Disarro’s extra point kick made it
7-0. Special teams got in on the action for the Jaguars when Tremayne Booker
blocked a Green Wave punt and Tramone Duncan recovered it in the end zone for a
touchdown. The Green Wave special teams would respond by blocking the PAT kick.
The score would remain 13-0 going into half-time.
Ashbrook
got the ball to start the second half and they would score on their first
drive. Under pressure from a Forestview blitz, Chabien Rodriguez hit British
Brooks for a screen pass at the 23-yard line. Brooks was able to take it the
distance for the Green Wave’s first touchdown of the night. The PAT was good.
But the
Jaguars would respond later in the third with a six-yard touchdown run by Jayveon
Love and 28-yard touchdown run Chapperal Smith. Both PATs were good and
Forestview took a 27-7 lead going into the final quarter. The Green Wave would
get a drive going early in the fourth quarter. They made it all the way to the
Forestview one-yard line, but a procedure penalty backed them up and Chabien
Rodriguez was intercepted by Tramone Duncan on the next play.
Ashbrook was able to get another
touchdown later in the fourth quarter when Rodriguez hit Cameron June for a
53-yard touchdown pass. The extra point kick bounced off the upright however.
That would be all the highlights for Ashbrook as Forestview recovered the
onside kick and ran the clock out.
Forestview’s defense forced three
fumbles and two interceptions, one by Duncan and the other by Jared Carter.
Forestview only lost one fumble and had no interceptions. The Jaguars also
registered five sacks. Xavier Worthy led the Jaguars with three. Nate Whitaker
and Jacob Ash each had one. For Ashbrook, Antwan McClee led the way with two
sacks and Josh Long had one.
Rodriguez led Ashbrook with 155
yards passing, 65 yards rushing and two passing touchdowns. Chapperal Smith led
Forestview with 82 yards and two touchdowns.
“I thought we played as a complete
team in all three phases and did some great things and that’s what you have to
do against a great team. I couldn’t be more proud.” said Forestview head coach
Chris Medlin “(The blocked punt for touchdown) gave us some momentum. Our
defense as a whole is playing great. We have a lot of senior leadership over
there. Tramone (Duncan) is one of them. He’s doing well and had a big night for
us in some key plays.”
Medlin said when asked about
involving more players on offense “We threw one to the tight-end there. It was
a big play that got us a first down early in the game. We got to add some
stuff. We can’t just run the base plays. You got to add some wrinkles to it
when teams are overloading you.”
“We got to win two more. It’s
simple as that. If we do, there is nothing less we can have than a conference
championship. That’s our goal. We got to take it one at a time.”
“When you have a special teams
situation where they get points out of it, that’s hard to overcome.” said Ashbrook
head coach Greg Hill “Turnovers, I don’t know how many we had but it’s hard to
win a game when you have that many turnovers.”
“That drive (early in the second
half) was our best drive of the night. We made some plays there and got in the
end zone. We felt like we got it going again and then I think the thing that
really hurt us after that is that we played half the field the majority of the
third quarter and we weren’t able to flip the field at all and you can’t do
that especially when you got a team that’s going to power the ball down at you.”
Hill said about the next two games
against Lake Norman Charter and Hunter Huss “There’s no ifs, ands and buts
about it. These next two weeks are going to define what happens to the rest of
the season. Our kids got to come to work Monday and find a way to get ourselves
back on track.”
Forestview (6-3)(4-1) travels to
take on Hunter Huss (6-3)(5-0). Ashbrook (3-6)(2-3) will host Lake Norman
Charter (4-5)(0-5).
