SW Edgecombe 27 @ Eastern Wayne 20

[swe98]

Evenly matched lower midlevel teams. Simmons has SWE losing by 3.

 

[swe98]

SWE returns the opening kickoff to the 35. Facemask on 3rd and 4 near midfield keeps the drive going. Good chunks on each run. 9 yard TD run. SWE 7, EW 0.

 

[swe98]

EW returns the kickoff to the 50. 4 and out, turnover on down midfield.

 

[swe98]

28 yard TD pass straight down the middle. Missed XP. SWE 13 EW 0

 

[swe98]

EW returns to 50. They have a shifty rb, and he's doing damage. Luckily, the SWE defense holds once again, forcing a turnover on downs at own 10. Defense has been such a big part of our problem since this regime took over. If we can just play a LITTLE defense, we may have a chance at finishing the regular season above .500.

 

[swe98]

Quarter ends SWE leads 13-0.

 

[swe98]

SWE punts on next possession. EW drives ball to 25, turns it over on downs.

 

[swe98]

EW scores with 3 seconds left in the half. Missed XP. Halftime SWE 13 Eastern Wayne 6.

 

[swe98]

There's a hog pen around here somewhere

 

[swe98]

Just saw several of our players just walk casually the concession stand during the half. A disciplined coaching staff would never allow that.

 

[swe98]

EW opens half at own 10. Two plays later, SWE int at EW 35.

 

[swe98]

SWE goes for it on 4th and 1 with a QB sneak. We get the yardage, but a defender snatches the ball from the QB and returns it 15 yards.

 

[swe98]

Getting chippy. Players from both sides jostling after the plays, getting flags.

 

[swe98]

EW 2 yard TD run. Conversion failed. SWE 13 EW 12.

 

[swe98]

Ref came out of the half with a renewed spirit for flag throwing. Been more flags than plays so far in the second half.

 

[swe98]

SWE ball at 50. 35 yard pass to the 15. 5yard run plus 5 yard penalty moves it to the 5. Next play, 5 yard TD. 2pt good.
3 play 50 yard drive. SWE 21 EW 12

 

[swe98]

EW ball on 10. We have a very good kicker. Something rarely seen at SWE.

 

[swe98]

SWE defense smothers EW behind the 10 yard line, forces punt from inside the end zone. Ball at EW 40.

 

[swe98]

25 yard by the QB to the 15. Two plays later, 5 yard QB run for the TD. Missed XP.
SWE 27 EW 12

 

[swe98]

EW ball at 50. Drive ends with a 15 yard TD pass. 2 or good. SWE 27 EW 20.

 

[swe98]

SWE ball at at the 5, after a missed kick off catch.

 

[swe98]

Terrible time to have a terrible drive. No yards, punt to own 25.

 

[swe98]

SWE holds then to no gain. On 4th down, incomplete pass, but QB is hit after the whistle. Now there is a conversation about who's ball it is smh. It's clearly ours, with a penalty. They are trying to award it to EW.

 

[swe98]

SWE ball.

 

[swe98]

SWE wins 27-20.
13 0 0 14 = 27
0 6 6 8 = 20
Our head coach is still suspended, and it shows, because for once, we actually looked like an average football team.

 

[swe98]

Big crowd fight under the home stand. Police everywhere.

How you expect next week's game to go?
