With our backs to the wall, it was either time to come out fighting or start packing up for an early end to the season. The boys had to come out swinging, and that is exactly what we did. With a quick strike to the end zone in the air, the Dylan (Kramer) to Dylan (James) connection got things rolling for The Bobcat Nation with a 28 yard TD pass. With a balanced attack of run and pass, we were able to get the Mustangs on their heels and keep them there. But before the Bobcat offense could open up and rack up the yardage, the Bobcat defense (Butler's Boys) put on a defensive scoring display second to none. With Blake Kass and Dawson Nemmers taking down the Mustang QB in the end zone for a safety, Independence was left with a free kick from their own 20 yard line, setting us up for another quick score by Kass. After we kicked off to them again, Dylan James picked off a pass at the Mustang 18 yard line and ran it back for a touchdown. The flood gates were open, and we kept our eyes on the goal. All in all we finished with another shut-out on the season with a 37-0 final. Cody Reimer returned an interception 18 yards for a touchdown as well. It was a great pick, with an even prettier run into the end zone.
Dylan James finished the game with 2 TD receptions and an interception return for a TD, leading him to a KCRG player of the week nomination and a Telegraph Herald player of the week nomination. Individual awards are always fun for the kids to win, but everyone involved in sports know that it takes the whole team to help one player shine. We are all very proud of this weeks efforts. The teams sticker awards jumps to an all time one week high. The team earned five helmet stickers this week: one for the win, three for defensive scores, and one for a shut-out. We are extra proud of this win because it locked our play-off spot for the post-season. Go Bobcats!
