All-Star Football Game Analysis

1360 Words6 Pages

The South got the victory over the North Saturday in the 42nd annual Lions All-Star football game at Tracy High School's Wayne Schneider Stadium. But, perhaps an asterisk should be put next to its 51-38 win. To prevent a blowout, when a team has more than a nine point lead, the losing team will receive the ball after every touchdown, regardless of who scores. That rule gave the South extra possessions, which helped it fight back from a 38-21 halftime deficit.

“That rule just killed all of our momentum,” said a frustrated Zerek Saldivar following the game. “It screwed us over. That rule was a major reason why they won the game.”

“That's a really bad rule,” said Calaveras running back Connor Hamilton, who was selected as a team captain for …show more content…

The South cut into the lead, bringing the score to 22-14. On the following position by the North, Hamilton had his longest rush of the night, which went for 17 yards. Quarterback Julius Davilla (Chavez) found Hunter Johnson (Sierra) for an 18 yard touchdown pass. The North led 30-14.

The South scored with 4:27 left in the second quarter, and instead of going for a 2-point conversion to make the score 30-22, it settled for a PAT, which made the score 30-21, and would give it the ball back with the nine point deficit.

The South couldn't capitalize on the free possession, and the North added to its lead before half on a 60 yard scoring run from Cooper. The North led 38-21 at half, and Hamilton had 55 yards rushing on 12 carries for one score. Warring had one reception good for nine yards.

Though he didn't get as many passes as he would have liked, Warring, a San Diego State preferred walk-on this upcoming fall, enjoyed being back around the game of football.

“This week gave me more experience on the football field before I go down to San Diego State,” Warring said. “I learned a lot of things at different positions. I'm going to be a tight end down at San Diego, so I still need to learn how to play that position. This helped me get

    On Friday night, the annual Ely TIgers vs. DIllard Panthers football game was played. On the last play of the 4th quarter, Donnell Wilson made a touchdown pass that won the game. Although some say that the catch was not that great, I think it was due to the fact that he passed his defensive back, leaped to make the catch,and scored the winning touchdown. Part of what made this a great catch was Donnell leaping into the air to catch it. “Wilson made a leaping catch and landed safely in the end-zone capping an improbable come from behind win for the Tigers.”

    After leaving one runner on second in the previous inning, the eighth looked as if the Boom would at least tie, if not take the lead. Daniel Sweet (Dallas Baptist), Michael Gizzi (State College of Florida) and Matt Gandy (Creighton) worked consecutive base-on-balls to load the bases with no one out. Sanford made a pitching change, with Cody Henry (Alabama) coming to the plate. He lined a frozen rope over a ducking Gizzi, right at the short stop, who beat Gizzi back to the second base bag, for the double play. Sweet scampered home, as the first pitch of Garrett Wolforth’s (Dallas Baptist) at-bat, got away from the catcher.

  • Sam Bradford: Early American Football

    Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford was quoted in a recent report by Bleeding Green Nation’s Brandon Lee Gowton saying “I’m just excited to get back out there. I think there are some butterflies in there getting back out on the field knowing that I’m going to take a few hits, take them, get up, and get going again." Bradford’s eagerness to absorb blows was challenged early in the Eagles’ 40-17 preseason victory over the Baltimore Ravens at Lincoln Financial Field. During Philadelphia’s first drive, the Ravens struck the Oklahoma alum twice as nose tackle Brandon Williams exploded into Bradford’s chest, and outside linebacker Terrell Suggs took a perceived dirty shot at the oft-injured quarterback’s knee on a read option.

    Why the North Won the Civil War When the first shots were fired on April 12, 1861, at Fort Sumter in South Carolina, both the Northern and the Southern sides expected the American Civil War to be short and sweet. When the war did not end until spring of 1865, four long years later, with a victory for the Union, many Americans were shocked. The Civil War came about primarily because of economic differences between the North and the South. The North and South had very different economies, moral beliefs, and cultural differences. While the Union had many advantages, such as manpower, industry and political structure, the Confederacy was able to compensate for most of these with their own strategic advantages, such as military leadership, control

    The introduction of the piece is the same as that of “The Raiders March”, but with strings playing in the background. The A melody begins with the trumpet as the strings fade out (0:07). The first minute and a half of the song is played the same as that of “The Raiders March”, though due to differing sound equalization, some parts stick out more or less than they do in the original. For example, in the third repetition of the A melody, one can more clearly hear the xylophone accompanying the melody here than in “The Raiders March”. The piece begins to differ more significantly after the break following the third repetition of the A melody when the piece modulates down a half step instead of up like in the original (1:37).
