Cedarcrest “C” squad loses to Newport
Cedarcrest High School’s “C” team had a touchdown called back
and was unable to establish its offensive game during its recent 30-0 loss
to Newport.
The players’ performance during the game reflected how they had
practiced during the previous weeks — sometimes sharp, often chaotic.
In the first quarter, Cedarcrest returned the kickoff to near the 30
yard-line, but needed to punt the ball after three plays. The defense took
over, gave up some yardage on the first few plays, but then got the ball back on
a fumble recovery. Both teams exhibited jitters in the first quarter, which
ended 0-0.
The second quarter began with a great defensive stand on the part of
the Red Wolves. Newport started with the ball on the 50 and drove down to
the 2. After four attempts at scoring, they were forced to hand the ball over
to the Wolves.
On a beautifully executed trap/counter play, Jesse Pettersen
broke through the line and went the distance of the field untouched.
Unfortunately, his 70-plus-yard rush was called
back because of a penalty for not enough players on the line of scrimmage.
The momentum generated by the defensive stand dissipated and Cedarcrest had
to punt again.
Newport took the ball over on the Cedarcrest 34 and drove to near
the end zone. On fourth down, the Knights finally punched through the goal
line on a pass. The two-point conversion gave them an 8-0 lead.
After halftime, it looked like a different Cedarcrest team took the
field. The defense started the third quarter and played tough. It gave up a
first down but eventually got the ball back on another fumble recovery.
The Red Wolves started to march down the field. It was second and
long when Pettersen again broke a long run. He went through the left side of
the line and was brought down hard 20 yards later on the Newport
20-yard line.
But Pettersen did not get up, and the trainers rushed to the field. His
face mask had been pushed into his face by the ground, and his lip was
bleeding, which forced him out of the game. Four plays later, the series stalled
on the 15-yard line with an incomplete pass on fourth down.
The departure of Pettersen took the wind out of the Red Wolves
sails. Newport continued to rack up points and sent the Wolves home with a
30-point loss.
