Sarnia, ON
– On a rainy night at Norm Perry Park, SMAA PeeWee
football action continued, as the Force to ok
on the Avengers Wednesday.
The Force got off to a quick start, as on their
first possession of the game, Jackson Smiley ran to
the outside and picked up 52 yards on route to the
endzone, as the Force took the early 7-0 lead. But
on their first play of their first possession,
Avengers running back Gabe Barnes picked up 67 yards
on an outside run for the score, but the Avengers
would miss the convert and the Force would still
lead 7-6.
On their
next possession the Force would move the ball down
field on small runs, getting inside the 20 yard
line. From there Kurtis Hill would hit the outside
and score another major, putting the Force up 14-6
at the half.
The
Avengers would get right back into the hunt, as
Barnes again would pick up big yards, as he scampers
65 yards for the touchdown to bring it to within
one.
With the
Force moving down field, the Avengers would pick up
the games first stop on defence, forcing a fumble to
regain possession. But the Force would equally
prevent the Avengers from picking up yards, retaking
the ball inside the 20 yard line. But time would
expire before the Force could score, and they went
into the half leading 14-13.
Neither
team could score in a defensive battle 3rd quarter,
which left the 4th quarter for the Avengers to get
back into the game. But the Force would strike
first, as Smiley again on a sweep would find the
endzone, putting the Force up 20-13 after the missed
convert.
With the
game coming to a close, and rain making the field
hard to run, the Avengers would be down to their
last play to try and tie it up. And like had done
all game, Barnes would again break mulitple tackles
on his way to a 56 yard touchdown run with no time
left on the clock. Barnes would then punch in the
convert to tie the game at 20-20, ending it in a
draw.
