Weir vs James Monroe TODAY at 1:30...

Ok, I'm sitting here on the edge of my seat listening to the game on WEIR1430.com. Derrick is having an AWESOME game!! The game started off with a James Monroe 85 yard kick off return touch down....Bryant Davidison running up the gutt and Derrick Rovira running the outside dragging defenders with him - he is not going down...the field is muddy, its cold (20C). The Mavericks are holding off the Weirs passing game.....Cody and Brendan are trying to get the passes, but Bubbs is just having a heck of a time getting grip on the ball. Mud is everywhere!!! Mike Salko is hitting hard, Nick Robinson is fired up and holding the offense....Artie Chappel is putting pressure on the offense and Mike Rascci forcing punt returns, Billy is protecting our running backs, and big Vance is not letting anyone pass him by. Its a good GAME!!!

At the half, Derrick Rovira has 7 carries for 22 yards, 2 sacks and ton of tackles!!!! Weir is behind 14-0..
...........................................................
Stay tuned for more.....
...........................................................
In the 3 quarter, momentum is shifting....Weir is on the board by Bryant's touchdown!!! Turnovers, and big interception by Davidson!! Mavericks defense is getting tired trying to bring down Big D....it is now taking three defenders to bring him down!!! It is not so much about many passes we get in...
..........................................................
4th quarter...
it is all about field position....parts of the field are just a mud bath and cause of turnovers....getting past these areas are key and getting optimum field position to run the ball and score...Geez when Derrick plunges with the ball, he is laying 3 yards....what a big guy!!!!

oh, no....Bryant is sacked for a 11 yard loss.....8 minutes to go and it is 14-7 with John Monroe's advantage....now the ball is picked....@#%$#%

ball is picked again!!!!....lost our first down opportunity...we just burned through our 3rd time out. The clock is ticking and we lost possession of the ball. GIVE the Ball to D!!!! 40 secs left.....another time out is taken now with 24 secs left for the Red Riders to score...... :(

JM has possesion...takes the knee.....we lose 7-14.....

Derrick finishes the game with 13 carries for 50 yards...JM held back Weir's running game...overall, well done. Now we can turn off the lights........

Loved this post, I was reading and hoping until the last line, now we turn off the lights. Sounded like your boy had a great year and I wish him the best of luck as his path continues.
