This past Friday, the Oklahoma Jr. High Patriots fell to the Dallas HSAA Blue Angels 20-6.
The game started with the Patriots receiving the kickoff. The Patriots tried to get down the field and score but were unsuccessful as #28 of the Blue Angels intercepted the ball. That play was immediately followed by a Blue Angel TD by #20 which made the score 6-0.
On the next Patriots possession the ball was again intercepted, this time by #25 of the Blue Angels. This interception was followed by a TD reception by #25 which pushed the Blue Angel lead to 12. The Patriots got the ball back but, turned it over on downs ending the 1st quarter.
The ensuing Blue Angels drive was a decent one but they too turned it over on downs. The Patriots again got the ball and couldn’t score so the Blue Angels got the ball back. A huge run by #20 set up another TD reception by #25 and with the PAT made the score 20-0. The Patriots again took over but couldn’t move the ball and the Blue Angels again took possession of the ball. The Blue Angels had a great drive and just when it looked like they were about to score…….. they fumbled, however they recovered but the play did result in a loss of yards. Then #82 Matthew Lamberth of the Patriots brought the QB to the ground for a sack ending the first half.
To start the second half each team had a possession and each team couldn’t score. So now, the Blue Angels had the ball and were ready to score once again. However #10 Johnson Miller of the Patriots didn’t see that happening as he stepped in front of a Blue Angel pass to not only intercept it but run it back for TD, this made the score 20-6. When the Blue Angels offense took over the Patriots forced a fumble and recovered it, they had a chance to squeeze their way back in the game. The Patriots offense took the field and they were ready, #44 Cameron Branch picked up a key first down which ended the third quarter.
To start the 4th the Patriots stepped back to pass and……… it was pulled down by #28 of the Blue Angels for their third interception of the game! It looked as if the game was over for the Patriots, but then, the Patriots defense forced another fumble and the game instantly got a lot more interesting. However the fans soon lost their recently gained interest, as the Patriots quickly turned the ball over on downs. The Blue Angels offense also turned the ball over on downs and the Patriots had one last shot. They again couldn’t take advantage of this and turned the ball over on downs. This leaves us with our final score of 20-6 as the Patriots lose their last game of the season.
My player of the game goes to Johnson Miller as he was really the only bright spot for the Patriots with his interception and TD. Congrats to the Patriots on a great season as they went 6-3 and were absolutely great to watch. This is it for this season but please join us next season for another great year of football.
