Game #7: Field 12, Tallmadge 6
A tough loss for A Team Gold as they return to Overdale field to host the Field Falcons.
The first quarter had only one possession per team. In the first possession, A Team Gold drove the ball as far as the Field 45 yard line. The Falcons took over and were able to get down to the Tallmadge 29, but on 4th and 18, Andrew F., made the stop to give the Devils' the ball:
And so the first quarter came to a 0-0 end.
A Team Gold drove the ball steadily downfield on their next possession but again came up with a stiff Field defense. However, on a 3rd and 2 from the 48, Andrew S keeps the ball for a Tallmadge first down:
Once again, A Team Gold is unable to keep the drive going, but on a 4th down, Tyler C boots this monster punt to pin the Falcons deep in their territory:
The Falcons were able to get two more plays off before the first half closed with a 0-0 tie.
The Falcons did come out fighting to start the second half, and in only three plays, they found themselves scoring on a long 56 yard pass play. The conversion failed, but Field now had a 6-0 lead.
A couple of plays later, confusion and a slow whistle resulted in the ball being ripped from Kane's hands. However, only two short plays later, Nate B. intercepts the Field pass to give possession back to the Devils!
A Team Gold is again met with the Falcons' tenacious defense. But on 4th and 2 from the Field 44, the Tallmadge offensive line powers forward as Andrew S. follows them for a first down:
The third quarter ends as Field hangs on to a 6-0 lead.
A Team Gold next calls on Bobby C. to deliver some punishment up the middle, and he does so with the best run of the day for the Devils on a 27 yard run:
A Team Gold then calls upon Bobby to continue the drive, and five plays later, Bobby scores on an untouched one yard run:
The conversion fails but A Team Gold has tied the score at 6-6. However, the Falcons respond on their next series and on 3rd and 2 from the Tallmadge 32, score to give the Falcons a 12-6 lead which they never reliquished.
This was a tough defensive battle from start to finish. Unfortunately, A Team Gold ends up short on the scoring end. Next week, the final game of the season at home against the visiting Manchester Panthers.
