Prep Overpowers Collegiate in Overtime
What better way to set the tone for Parents Weekend at FUMA than to watch a powerful prep football game against a top rival. The Blue Devils beat Collegiate 41-34 in a very exciting overtime game. The Blue Devils scored first with a 2 yard touchdown run from Patrick Myrick(10 carries, 48 yards, 7 of 9 passing for 89 yards). Collegiate got the ball back and drove the length of the field but Curtis Shannon-Berry intercepted the ball in the endzone to stop Collegiate's first drive. We got the ball at the 20 yard line and drove down the field and scored on Marcus Dowtin's(24 carries, 130 yards) 4 yard touchdown run. Collegiate responded with a touchdown of their own, but on the ensuing kickoff Chris Pride returned the kick 90 yards for a touchdown. The scoring continued to go back and forth until the forth quarter when FUMA went up 34 to 28 with 1:29 left in the game.
Collegiate got the ball back and ended up scoring with 12 seconds left on the clock, but they missed the extra point and left the game tied at 34 to 34. We got the ball first in overtime and scored on the 3rd play. The defense came out and stopped Collegiate on 4th and 7 to end the game. Patrick Myrick, Marcus Dowtin and Denzel Wilson(6 catches, 76 yards) lead the team offensively. The defense was lead by John Robertson(9 tackles), Marcus Dowtin(5 tackles) and Jason Komey(2 sacks).
The team's overall record is now 5-3 and 3-1 in the prep league. The Blue Devils take on Benedictine on Saturday, October 27, 2007 at 1:30 at home.
