Beckman Week 1

The Bobcats came out on Friday night against Dyersville Beckman in true WD fashion.  We started with a goal line stand to get the ball back in our hands.  Dawson Nemmers, Andy Cook, and Riley Pfeiler all came together to stop a QB keeper from breaking free to the end zone.  Dylan Kramer led the offense from our own

two yard line down to the opposing teams 32 before being stopped on downs.  It wasn't until Dylan James returned a punt to the Beckman 2 yard line that we were able to get the ball into the end zone on a Dan Beard rushing TD.  Nick Kruse followed it up with a PAT through the uprights.  After halftime we moved the ball to Beckman's 30 yard line once again, until penalties pushed us back into our own territory for a 4th and 25 punt. 

The second half was laden with penalties that kept us out of striking distance the rest of the game.  After a Beckman interception return to our 19 yard line, the Blazers punched in a 19 yard score, but were unable to capitalize on the point after, leaving them down 7-6. 

In the final minutes of the game, our defense stepped up once again, thwarting the efforts of the Blazer's two-minute offense.  Some big pass deflections by Tyler Donovan kept Beckman's offense at bay, and we were able to come out of a great rivalry game with a victory.  As always, this is a great memory for the seniors to take with as they begin the closeout of a great high school career.  Senior seasons are special, and this victory helps to make the moment that much sweeter.

I was very pleased with the effort and attitude on and off the field.  The first step has been taken down the road to the post-season.
