Western Branch overcomes miscues
Non classé - 28 oct 2010To say that Western Branch’s Greg Gibson is something of an offbeat football coach would be understatement. How many put a reference to an poem on the backs of his players’ jerseys?”It was there for us,” Gibson insisted after quarterback Daniel Griffith and wingback Corey Gray each ran for two second half touchdowns in the No. 7 Bruins’ 40 29 come from behind win at Grassfield.”We had hurt ourselves with penalties, Cheap Jerseys china turnovers we just had to bear down. Our work ethic you have so few opportunities to play this game. Basketball, baseball you can play 100 times a year. ISSMP Football you have 10 chances, and you can’t squander them.”In this case, Western Branch had to whittle away at a 29 14 third quarter deficit created largely by three first half fumbles.The first cut came when Griffith scored on a 4 yard run with 17.9 seconds to play in the third. Western Branch’s Alex Barteau then recovered the ensuing kickoff at the Grassfield 24 when the Grizzlies failed to field it. Cheap Jerseys from china Gray, who had scored on runs of 61 and 53 yards in the first quarter, had a more pedestrian jaunt of 22 yards to open the fourth. That made it 29 27, and the Bruins were on a roll.”I had made a couple of mental mistakes,” said Gray, who had fumbled into the Grassfield end zone just before crossing the goal line, costing his team a touchdown, before losing the ball in his own end zone while trying to field an errant pitch, giving the Grizzlies a safety both in the second quarter.”I had to keep going, to keep pushing for my offense, because they were pushing for me,” he said.1Z0-865 A 6 yard Gray run pushed Western Branch into a 33 29 lead.Perhaps spooked by the kickoff turnover late in the third quarter, Grassfield returners twice fielded kickoffs near the sideline, and their momentum took them out of bounds on their own 3 and 4 yard lines.
