This past Friday the Roadrunner football team took on the Colfax-Mingo Tigerhawks for the last game of the 2011 s
eason. With any chance of the playoffs out of the picture, both teams came into the game with nothing to lose. The Roadrunners entered the night with a four and four record and two and four in district play, while the Tigerhawks were two and six record and a one and five record in district play.
The first half was an old fashioned shootout with the score at halftime being 41-20 in favor of the Tigerhawks. The opposing team opened the game up with a quick score on a 68 yard touchdown pass on the very first play from scrimmage. With their backs against the wall, the Roadrunners didn’t back down. After the Tiger hawks took a 14 to nothing lead Roadrunner return man Andrew Morris took the ensuing kick-off 85 yards for the first score of the game for the Roadrunners.
The first half was an air raid for both teams. Roadrunner quarterback Tommy Bregar threw for a
season high 363 yards with 21 completions on 33 passing attempts. He also threw for a season high four touchdown passes with only one interception. The ball was spread around fairly evenly on the night with Ryan Deuel having 133 receiving yards and three touchdowns on nine receptions for the night. Briar Vogel had seven catches for 130 yards and one touchdown on the night. The other big target for Bregar was senior tight end Tanner Bean who received four catches for 81 yards.
The Roadrunner rushing attack wasn’t to be denied although they didn't score any touchdowns on the night. They racked up a total of 146 yards with senior back Andrew Morris leading the charge with 65 yards of his own and an outstanding 8.1 yards per carry as he picked apart the Tiger hawk defensive front.
The second half was a defensive struggle for both teams when a total of only 19 points were scored as opposed to the 61 points in the first half. Briar Vogel led the defense with 16 total tack
les on the night. Andrew Morris and Joe Bedwell both recorded nine tackles for the defense.
The team looks to come back next year in hopes to make it to the playoffs and improve their record. The team has a big hole to fill next year with most of the offensive line needing to be replaced. The team’s starting quarterback is returning next year with one of his favorite targets returning as well.
