Rita 30, ND 6: Final

[Wittymoniker1]

Awesome blue uniforms. Defense looks very stout.

Both very talented Jr. RBs were in together on several plays and have been utilized very nicely.

Jr. Middleton with a nice 25 yard TD reception, while Jr. DJ with solid gains up the gut and a goal line TD.

 

[Wittymoniker1]

ND stops Rita twice in their territory (missed FG and turnover on downs).

ND QB throwing nice throws to the WRs who are making great catches against tight coverage. Tipped ball TD and now down by 8.

Talty missed???

ND comes down and scores and what I thought would be a 17-0 lead turns into a 14-8 halftime. We were close last year at half and it ended up a blowout. Hopefully a better second half is ahead of us.

 

[Wittymoniker1]

30 YD TD pass from Jr. Jett. Extra point was blocked.

Rita leads 20 - 6.

Talty missed???

Yes, he missed a 28 yarder but I swear it went 60 yards--just veered right.

 

[eireog]

Horrible 4th down call by the Dons before the end of the 3rd. Grrrrrrrrr!!!

Game over

 

[Wittymoniker1]

Jr. DJ scores a TD up the middle, around a 35 yarder. This came after a 4th down stop by Rita mentioned by eireog above.

Talty with 40yd FG

 

[Wittymoniker1]

Rita's Sr. kicker Connor kicks a 40 yarder that would've went 60 yards according to the Rita announcer.

 

[Wittymoniker1]

Horrible 4th down call by the Dons before the end of the 3rd. Grrrrrrrrr!!!

ND's passing game has been very solid. They should've had a short pass attempt, instead of running it.

 

[eireog]

We have a long way to go to be competitive at the top of the Catholic League. In spite of it all I’m confident we can win a couple games in the playoffs. Go Dons!!

 

[Wittymoniker1]

Don just could not get the running game going at all. Stout defense by the Mustangs, which led Don to throw a lot tonight. Had some very nice passing plays, catches and thrown balls by Don QB.

Solid game by Rita throughout. ND is a solid team, and I thought Rita took it to him tonight.

Good luck to the Dons in the playoffs. Going to be a tough out.

 

[Goomlah]

I still think ND can win 3 playoff games with this squad,...
