Cougars at Terriers
by Ardent Cougar
 


Jeremy Porter got PC off to a fast start,
breaking it open up the middle, and...


... 50 yards later, he had given the Cougars a 7-0 lead.


On the ensuing possession, Marcus English answered for Byrd...


... going 65 yards, to tie it at 7-7.
At this point, it looked like the game might be a shootout,
with both teams lighting up the scoreboard.
After this play, however, the Cougar D
had the Terriers in shackles.


Porter again, heading for his third score...


... making it 28-7, with
2:39 left in the 1st Quarter.


Matt Roan sacks QB Jeff Highfill.


Josh Calfee gets his second score.
This 6-yard dash through open spaces
extended the lead to 35-7,
early in the 2nd.


A mere 19 seconds later, the Cougars hit paydirt again.
Alan Wheeling picked off this pass near the sideline,
showed his best 'tightrope' skills, and...


42-7.


Making tackles, sacking quarterbacks, and
blocking for running plays, is hard work!
Here Roan gets open and awaits his reward, a Wheeling pass.
The completion set up...


... Greg Cobbs, who took the criss-cross in from 32 yards out.
A muffed snap/hold lead to a John Hedge miss on the PAT, so his
school record ended at 46 consecutuive.
48-7, with over half of the 2nd Quarter left to play.
Calfee scored from 7 yards out a few minutes before the break.
It was 55-7, as the teams headed for the lockerrooms.


The punter for Byrd did a pretty good job of getting off kicks under the pressure.
He certainly had many opportunities, on this night.


Roan gets some icing on the cake!
Alan found Matt all alone in the endzone on 4th-and-1.
The two hooked up 3 times, for 48 yards, and this score.
With a 62-7 lead, and the starters
having played one series in the second half,
Coach Hicks, as he always does, began substituting.


Roan (taking a drink) and Wheeling (standing in front of
No. 64, Cory Bentley) relax, each having played a superb game,
as did Chris Hardin (No. 55).


After a Terrier score, John Harmon blocked the PAT.
62-13.


Derrick Burks gets a few yards.
A play or two later...


... Derrick scored, giving (along with Jamie Steger's PAT)
the Cougars their largest score in a game ever,
beating the mark that was tied a week earlier.
