Centerville 28 - Beavercreek 0
Creek football continued to improve
this week. Team energy was positive, the best
it's
been this year, and sidelines support, a can-win attitude, was
constant throughout the game.
The offense had a tough night, only 95
rushing and 26 passing yards, there were 4 passing completions and
Dee Wallace managed 86 total yards. Jack Jones had a 20 yard
kickoff return and 25 rushing yards for the night. Creek had
to start deep in their own territory most of the time and stifled
Beaver progress with penalties in over half their possessions.
The standout and excitement Friday night
was a renewed energy on defense which
held
the Elks scoreless in the first and third quarters. Justin
Hull recovered a Centerville fumble and Robert Durham led
a "host of Beavers" in a 3rd quarter quarterback sack that forced
the Elks to turnover the ball on downs.
Field position was the gravy train for
the Elks offense who were troubled by penalties and fumbles
throughout the game. Three of the four times the Elks began
possession in Creek territory, they scored. Creek can still
make a difference in their season record by winning the final three
games against South, Xenia and Fairmont. The final home game
and senior night is this Friday.
