HAWLEY JV BEATS CC
Once again the Hawley JV Bearcats game resembled that of Sundays Dallas game. Turnovers on the first two drives left Cats fans wondering when we were going to start playing ball. Well it didn't take long before they got started and the Colorado City couldn't get them stopped as they rolled over the Wolves 34 to 6 in Hawley Thursday night.
It started pretty shaky when the Cats fumbled on their very first play from scrimmage and gave the ball to C-City deep in Bearcat territory after the defense forced a 3 and out for the Wolves. The defense stepped up again with a beautifully defended long ball by Matt Penny, a big sack by the Bearcat line, and polished it off with a Kyle Sellers’ interception. The Cats then drove the ball from their own 30 to C-City's 36 before we fumbled again. But we saw that the running game was working and the defense playing great so we feared not. The defense forced a punt and Robert Hall got though to block it and Seth Manly fell on it setting the Cats up in great field position. Several runs later Manly goes over from the 2 and for the TD and Sellers adds the PAT. The next play on offense from the Cats 29-yard line saw QB Josh Harris roll right, give ground to get the corner, back left across the whole field of play to be forced out at the C-City 20. The crowd went wild. Then the offense gave the ball up on downs and there was lamenting in the stands. But never fear, Rodney Rud is here! On a sweet little play C-City completed a swing pass and Rodney committed larceny on that poor Wolf and came up with his football.
Cat offense back in business. Rud was also in on the payoff from this turnover when Harris threw to Penny who had the ball bounce off him and into the waiting hands off Rud standing in the end zone. The PAT looked like a broken play and failed. The defense forced another 3 and out and on the Cat's next drive the run was not working as well as we liked. Three passes to LJ Greenway, Manly and Penny and the Cat's pushed in with a QB sneak with less than a minute to play in the half. The PAT rush again failed. The Wolves got their first first down of the game on the last play of the first half. Score Hawley 20 C-City 0.
Second drive for the Cats in the second half was vintage Bearcat ball: Grinding it out on the ground and ending in two Robert "I will not be denied" Hall runs that carried Wolves down the field and into the end zone. The PAT rush again failed. The Cat defense bent a little on the next C-City drive and let them down to the Cat 10-yard line. But once again Rud saved the day with an end zone interception, which he ran out to the two-yard line. The Cats couldn't get going and had to punt. The Wolves then got loose on a long run and were denied the end zone by a TD saving tackle by safety Manly. But not for long as two plays later they hit the slant route for their only score. It is a long way back to Colorado City without a touchdown. The PAT failed. The Wolves tried an onside kick but the Cats made a very smart play when it didn't go ten yards and stayed away from it. Well we couldn't let a score go unanswered so the Cats ran the ball down to the 4 before Zane Masavage burst over for the score. LJ Greenway tacked on the PAT and that about wrapped it up. Cats 34 Wolves 6.
Due to technical difficulties (Can't find the camera remote) there are no stats for this game. Next week we travel to Anson to meet up with the Tigers at 7:30. I will try to get the stats for both games in that article. Gas ain't cheap but Anson ain't that far. COME SEE US
