Football 9/09/05 . . . Frank Zink Field in Beavercreek . . .           Troy 35 - Creek 21
Beavercreek played Troy regularly in the 60s, 70s and early 80s.  Creek won the last of that series in 1981 by a 6-0 score.  In fact, over that series of games the Beavers and Trojans had an even split, 10-10.

Of late Troy has been advertised as a power team but they came into Beavercreek with a 1-1 record, just like ours.  Barring a few miscues the game outcome could have been very different.  Creek rushed for 285 yards against powerhouse Troy, 229 of them a phenomenal effort by Dee Wallace.  After a scoreless first quarter Chad White found the end zone on a 7 yard run.  The game continued close and after a second Troy score the Beavers had another good drive near the half but Troy cashed in an interception opportunity to end the half with a 14 point lead. 

The third quarter for Beavercreek was like starting over. The offense could not find the end zone but the defense held Troy scoreless.  A Troy score early in the fourth quarter sparked the Beavers into action to avoid a rout.  Dee Wallace scored twice, first on a 40 yard run and then a 1 yard run.  Pat Williams was perfect on extra points and the Beavers were a touchdown away working on their third drive of the quarter but Troy captured the final score and the 35-21 win. 

The good continues to be great effort.  A few examples  . . . .Williams averaged over 35 yards per kickoff . . .   Avid Pureval had a strong game including a 25 yard punt . . .  Jack Jones continued his solid performance with 45 yards rushing, 24 passing and 4 kick off returns. 

The bad includes 8 penalties and allowing Troy to rush for over 309 yards.

The Beavers will regroup and head to Lebanon for another challenging contest this Friday.  This year's team has proven they can put together multiple, solid scoring drives.  To win this week they not only have to keep their scoring machine active but shore up their defense.
