Catholic Downs Northview Chiefs In Season Opener
September 6, 2008
A young Northview High School team lost their season opener 48-0 Friday night at Pensacola Catholic High School.
The Crusaders jumped on the board with 8:11 to go in the first with an Evan Smith run to paydirt, ending an eight play drive. The Chiefs blocked the kick, and Catholic was on the board 6-0.
Then with 4:50 left in the first quarter, Catholic added another touchdown on a 20 yard run by Marquis Sumier. Add in a kick, and Catholic was up 13-0.
Then things got dark…seriously dark when the stadium lights failed with 2:19 to go in the first quarter (pictured left, click to enlarge). About 20 minutes later, the lights were back on. About a minute after that, Crusaders quarterback Shaun White scored on a five yard run into the endzone. The kick was good, and the score was 20-0 with 1:18 in the first.
With about a minute left in the first quarter, Catholic scored again; this time on a 30 yard fumble return by Johnathon Melton. At the end of the first quarter, Catholic was up 27-0.
The second quarter was also dominated by the Crusaders, with a 15 yard pass to Alex Bast for another half dozen points. The kick was good, and Catholic was up 34-0 with 4:56 left in the half.
With 1:23 to go in the first half of play in Pensacola, Catholic score again on a 20 yard dash by Adrian Smiley. A kick through the uprights, and Catholic led 41-0 at halftime.
The Chiefs held their own in the third quarter, with the quarter ending scoreless for both teams.
In the fourth, an 18 yard run by La’Gerrald White and a good kick set the final score at 48-0.
“Obviously, I am very disappointed in the way we played,” Chiefs Head Coach Cody Keene told NorthEscambia.com after the game. “They have a fine football team. Our hats off to them, and we congratulate them on a great victory.
“We are not as bad as we played. We’ve just got a lot of work to do to get better,” Keene said. “We’ve got to stick together and work to get better. We are real young, but we are not as bad as we played.”
Shakel Holmes picked up 18 yards on the night on three carries, and Ka’ Daris Grice had four yards on four carries for the Chiefs.
Brandon Sheets was three of nine in passing for 22 yards. Austin Arrington had 18 yards for Northview on one reception. Josh Dorriety and Aaron Chancery picked up two yards each on receptions for NHS.
On the defensive side, Ka ‘Daris Grice, Luke Killam, Brian Long and Austin Reid had eight tackles each against Catholic. Shakel Holmes and Cole Gandy had seven tackles each.
Austin Reid had an average 38 yeard per punt for NHS.
