Trailing 28-16 at the halftime intermission, Blake Reed was 3 of 7 for an unofficial 26 yards. Carroll County was realing after allowing Glenvar to score four touchdowns in the second quarter alone.
What happened in the final 20+ minutes belongs on an ESPN Instant Classic. Let’s start with the defensive effort from Carroll County down the stretch.
The four possessions for the Highlanders netted them just two first downs and one of them was gained by a defensive penalty. Team D was incredible and even in the Overtime period it took Glenvar four plays to gain the 10 yards for the go ahead score.
Blake Reed converted all 3 of the Cavaliers 4th down attempts. Two with his Arm and One with his legs and none of them were easy gets.
4th and 4 (14 yard pass), 4th and 8 (11 yard keeper) and incredibly 4th and 24 with 0:25.6 left (24 yard TD Pass). Can’t make this stuff up.
Reed went 10 for 11, 131 yards in the second half ➕ overtime. 13 for 18 and 157 yards overall. TEN FOR ELEVEN. It wasn’t about a one man show in the slightest, it was a great team effort.
Two weeks ago, down in Durham, I watched a thrilling football game between Southern Methodist University and my beloved Duke. It ended in the exact same manner as the 🏡 team fell in overtime after matching the visitors Overtime TD but coming up short on the 2-point conversion attempt.
Yes, Duke lost 28-27 but it didn’t take away from the joy of watching the team play their Hearts out. Last night at Tommy Thompson Field, the home team fell 35-34 to end their season.
I believe that the final mark is 7-3 and they played some very exciting games across the schedule. The team is laying a foundation for the future and they did a great job representing CCHS and the Community !
Kudos to everyone that was involved with the team and their efforts 👏.
