SPORTS
HEARTBREAKER IN RIVERVIEW
Riverview – The Cougars lost a heartbreaker on
Saturday in Riverview to the Riverview Wildcats, 21-20. The Cougars were coming
off a strong win last week against Sun City and they were hoping g to extend
that momentum against the Wildcats. Both the Cougars and the Wildcats are
sitting in the middle of the league in standing and they are similar teams in
many ways. The most obvious is that they are both very young teams. The Cougars
have only one senior on the team while the Wildcats field two. The Wildcats
have more sophomores through, 5-3. What both teams do not lack is enthusiasm
and that was on display Saturday.
The
Wildcats won the toss and surprisingly deferred, perhaps because they felt
their strength was in their defense. The Cougars were able to move the ball but
they were not able to score in the first quarter. The Wildcats were able to
push the ball on their second possession and score on a quick out pass to their
lead receiver, Jimmy Fletcher. In the second quarter, the Cougars found their
footing and were able to work the ball down to the Wildcats 17. Billy O’Conner
dropped back to pass on first down but then handed off to fullback, “Moose”
Boyle, who rumbled through a hole in the center of the line and ran all the way
in for a touchdown. “That was his longest run of the season, I think he was
winded afterwards but he was happy,” said Coach Burcowitz after the game.
The
second half had much more action with the Wildcats scoring two more times, a
run by Donny Salter and another catch by Fletcher. The Cougars fought back and
in the fourth quarter scored their third touchdown with beautiful end run by
Joey Fox. The Cougars lined up for the extra point but they attempted a two
point conversion because there was only one minute left on the clock. They were
going for the win. They lined up, the ball was hiked, O’Conner dropped back and
was looking for Flynn in the end zone but he was double teamed and O’Conner
dumped the ball off to Shamus O’Donnell who valiantly tried to slip across the
goal line but he was met by two defenders, Billy Arnold and Taylor Reynolds at
the one and stood up and tackled. The Wildcats ran the clock out and the
Cougars left the field dejected with a 20-21 loss on their record.
“That
was a tough one,” said Coach Burcowitz, “We really though we could get that
two-pointer but they defended very well and you have to give them credit for
that. Our boys played a very good game; we just came up a little short today.
Next week.”
Next
week the Cougars play the Southport Hawks. The Cougars are back home and the
game begins at 1:30PM on the Regional High Field. The Hawks are having a
difficult season since their senior quarterback; Lamar Donaldson was injured in
their first game. They have had to field a sophomore, Bert Farley, to run the
team.
