Jr. Prep Loses to St. Christopher's
The Blue Devils lost another tough battle to St. Christopher's School 16-22. FUMA started the game on the right foot with a 97-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by Louis Litkett! FUMA's defense stepped up to the plate once again only giving up two touchdowns, one late in the 2nd quarter. FUMA's offense did an incredible job in the first half putting together two drives of 11 and 12 plays respectively. The first drive stalled out on a failed 4th down conversion attempt and we ran out of time on the second half.
At the midway point St. Christopher's School was leading 6-8. At the start of the second half, FUMA's blitzing defense sacked St. Chris's QB in the end zone for a safety evening the score at 8 apiece. On the first play of the 4th quarter, St. Christopher managed to squeeze out one more touchdown and converted the 2-Point try. Late in the 4th quarter, FUMA's offense got the chance to even the score and on the first play of the drive QB, Nathan Lundberg, connected on a pass with Eddie Jones for 52 yards down to the 5-yard line. On the next play Lundberg carried the ball five yards for FUMA's first offensive touchdown! Lundberg also carried a three yard option play off the left tackle for the 2-Point extra try. With less than 2 minutes to play, St. Christopher's took the kickoff right after the touchdown 80 yards down to the two. The next play they punched in. The 2-Point conversion failed and that is how the game finished.
Highlights Include:
- FUMA's Defense
- Offensive Line (Nick Dean, Wil Turner, Melvin Carter, Clay Wyckoff, Tom Wilder)
- Nathan Lundberg: 12 Carries 45 Yards 1 TD and 1 2PT; 6-11 Passing 86 Yards
- Eddie Jones: 4 Receptions 74 Yards
FUMA's offense racked up 114 yards rushing and 86 yards passing for a total of 200 yards.
In conclusion, the Jr. Prep football team overcame some adversity again this week, but put out maybe their best showing yet to date. They came out, played four full quarters of football, and played together as a team! Our goal this season has been to overcome adversity and to develop a team, "You develop a team to achieve what one person cannot accomplish alone. All of us alone are weaker, by far, than if all of us are together." - Unknown
Thanks again for all the support you have shown there fine young men. The Blue Devils are back in action on 11 October 2007 against Liberty Christian Academy. The game will be played at FUMA at 4PM. We hope to see you at the game!
