Great football atmosphere and the rain held off so we didn't end up getting soaked.
Low scoring game that came down to a few plays. Thought it would come down to turnovers and it did. The interception in the first half didn't hurt us too bad. But, the game tightened up in the second half and the two interceptions gave the momentum to CC in the second half. Despite the turnovers and CC turning up the heat on defense, the Cards were driving and I thought the holding penalty that took away a first down and made it 3rd. and 17 changed the game. Had JHS scored there, it was over.
Was surprised that CC struggled so much to run the ball and really relied on the pass to even be in the game. Jacksonville hasn't done well stopping the pass all year, espcially the big plays. Great adjustment by the CC coach.
The last long pass up the middle, I thoughtthe JHS defensive line basically stopped, and gave the CC quarterback all day to find a receiver
Bottome line, it was an incredible game by two very good teams. One team was coming home with the loss, and CC showed why the are a perennial power and came out in the second half with fire.
Congrats!
