Host another one of the endless Grand Ledge teams (this is team #7….there are 10 of them). Win 26-8…..like futbol, there will be another post coming with the video….this is just the pictures.
By the way, I realized I didn’t have the hyperlinks for the video from the last game; I fixed that.
We’ll go boy by boy…….
Cpher: Did something in this game that I’ve been asking him to do for a while…..sustain his blocks. Our second touchdown of the game it’s really obvious….he blocks and blocks and blocks this huge kid and the running back runs the other way and comes all the way back over to Cpher’s side…where Cpher is still blocking, and goes the distance.
You can see Cpher here, getting ready to go into his stance, and across the way is the huge kids from GL. I don’t think any team has had a player taller than Cpher, but several (including ours) have players heavier. This moose from GL was about 30 pounds heavier……
Cpher reports that, aside from being huge, the moose wasn’t very nice….shared some choice words with Cpher (and Matthew, who also got a chance to block him)
This is one of the better pictures…..Suzanne got a new lens for the camera for her birthday and this was the one photo I could really notice how much better it can zoom in….you can see freckles on Cpher’s face.
This is at the start of the play….it looks like a double-team but is mostly Cpher….
There are about five picture between the first one and this one….Cpher has held the block so long that you can see the other offensive lineman looking upfield at where the running back went. It’s not often that someone can toss Cpher to the ground, but, after blocking for a bunch of seconds the guy finally got enough leverage to get rid of him….
I think Cpher had two or three tackles during the game….this is one of them and not one of his best efforts….a little too high but I’m not sure he could have done much else….
He’s not getting away….I think Cpher holds him up and Brock there just clobbers the guy to clean up…
Matthew: Looks like Matthew’s time at running back is going to be limited to one game…..he’s back to the OL and linebacker. I’d love to see him run that play one more time now that we’ve talked it over so much, but, doesn’t seem like that’s going to happen.
Saw a lot of action at linebacker again…..made a couple of very nice tackles. The next four or five pictures are the first of those tackles…a nice burst into the backfield and a tackle for a loss
The guy tries a stiff-arm……
but Matthew holds on……
and holds on and holds on and the gang arrives to finish this off….
Did a good job on the OL as well; more than held his own against the Moose. Had a scare at the end of the game that you can see on the video….he was back in on defense and was doing what he does…charging into a hole and I’m still not sure what happened. I know that he wasn’t low….and that’s the big problem, but Matthew claims he never saw the running back…..
The running back certainly saw him, and had about a milli-second to lower his helmet before hitting Matthew, both of them moving at about full speed, head on. Matthew went down, and stayed down for about 10 seconds. He finally walked off, and in the end it was his chin that hurt more than anything (which makes sense if the running back got just a little lower)…..but, it wasn’t a good moment.
