:woohoo:
Refuse to lose!!!! We now have won 10 of 12. Losing to a good Dayton team and last years state champion Lamar. Our young defense with 11 new starters gets better everytime they take the Field. Our offense is opening up. Our special teams improved 100% from last week. Way to make adustments at half. We have a long way to go but get better every week. Great
job coaches and players. The fans were really fired up
Heres Crosby's
newspapers take on the game. I like it better than ours.
CROSBY — The Crosby Cougars squandered a 14-point fourth quarter lead and missed a game-tying extra point in the final minute Saturday as Port Neches-Groves rallied for three fourth quarter touchdowns and a 28-27 victory Saturday.
Jerin Spikes jumped in front of a Dominic Merka pass at the Crosby 33. On the next play, Wright raced into the end zone with 5:44 left to give the Indians their first lead, 28-21.Crosby marched deep into PN-G territory but a fourth down run by Merka was stopped at the two yard line and the Indians were unable to run out the clock, so they punted to the Cougars with 0:44 left.
Dominic Merka passed to Forrest Tyler from 25 yards with 31 seconds left, but a high snap on the PAT caused the kick to be blocked by Ryan McLin.
Port Neches-Groves made a couple of defensive stops early in the third quarter and senior quarterback Harrison Tatum directed a 75 yard drive that culminated with a 36 yard touchdown run by Caleb Harmon. Mason English added the extra point with 5:28 remaining in the third that trimmed the lead to 14-7.
But just five plays later, Merka broke several tackles on a quarterback draw and raced 58 yards into the Indian end zone. Fowler’s PAT gave Crosby a 21-7 lead with 2:45 left in the third.
But the Indians weren’t finished. Josh Wright scampered six yards for a touchdown with 9:43 left to culminate a 99 yard drive. English added the PAT to make the score 21-14.
PN-G took advantage of a Merka fumble that was recovered byTyler Gizzi at the Crosby 22. Three plays later, Harmon scored from the eight. English’ PAT tied the game at 21 with 6:34 left in the game.
Josh Wright fumbled at the Cougars’ 40 on the opening drive and Matt Woods recovered. The Cougars had an 11-yard scoring run by Casey called back on an illegal block and a 42-yard field goal by Sam Fowler didn’t quite have enough distance.
The Cougars faced a third and ten from their own 20 when Merka connected with Frank on a short pass into the flat. The junior speedster navigated 80 yards to the end zone that broke the scoring ice. Fowler’s extra point gave the Cougars a 7-0 lead with 9:04 left in the half.
Crosby dominated most of the second quarter with a 15-play drive that ended with a five-yard scoring run into the end zone on fourth and inches to increase the Cougars’ lead to 14-0 with 36 seconds left in the half.
