SW Edgecombe 3-2 @ Greene Central 3-2

[SWE'98]

Both programs started off hot, only to be told to calm down here lately. I thought SWE would run the table after such a good effort at Tarboro, but playing two still undefeated teams back to back showed us that we aren't as good as we would like to be yet. GC is absolutely another tough test that I'm not completely confident about. Throw in a wet field with on and off rain, and who knows? If there are no updates, it means I dont have signal, which is usually the case in good ol Snow Hill.

Defense gets them to 4th and goal from the 15. Turnover on downs.

 

[SWE'98]

1st play, 43 yard completion to midfield. 3rd play, a spectacular 1 handed grab for a ton of yards. Unsportsmanlike for the receiver liking his catch a little too much takes away most of the yardage gained.

 

[SWE'98]

1st and goal from the 9, but we can't punch it in . 23 yard fg.

Nothing to see. Offense looks good until we get into the red zone. Defense looks ok, after those first few plays to open the game.

3 and out. Punt returned to SWE 33.

 

[SWE'98]

31 yard swing pass for a touchdown. The RB did all the work. Pat attempt botched.
SWE 9 GC 0

 

[SWE'98]

Kickoff takes a great bounce and stalls at the 2. Returner picks it up and tries his best, but is blown up and hurt. GC ball at own 1.

 

[SWE'98]

Halftime.
SWE 3 6 = 9
GC 0 0 = 0

 

[SWE'98]

Bout as boring of a game as I've seen in a while. Even the atmosphere is unmoving. We have more fans than the home team.
The defense has finally decided to play again, but our offense has completely disappeared after that Nash Central game in week 2. I started the year thinking we'd be Eastern finals contenders, but now I'd call us a second round exit team.

 

[SWE'98]

SWE ball at own 41.

Tarboro and Havelock in a good one.
I can't believe I'm rooting for the Vikings 🤢

[SWE'98]

GC has figured something out, because they are gashing the interior of our D. Fake left, cut up the middle. Fake right, cut up the middle. Did that all the way down the field for 63 yards , ending with a 9 yard td run. 2pt attempt intercepted.

Final
SWE 3 6 8 20= 37
GC 0 0 6 16 = 22

 

[SWE'98]

Defense played fabulously, even though 22 shows up on the scoreboard. GC got 16 points from a KOR and a short 30 yard field following SWE turnover. They only gave up 6 earned points. The offense came to life in the second half for 28 strong points on the ground and through the air. Tough, tough test vs North Pitt and their dual threat QB next week.
