Originally, I had planned on being at the Wilmington-Lakeview game last night, but because the professor, Ryan Briggs, determined in his previews on Thursday that West Middlesex-Farrell was the game of the week, I instead hightailed it to West Middlesex for the game. Professor Briggs' preview stated that it would be a battle of undefeated, state-ranked teams. Weather-wise, you could not have asked for better football weather, because the weather was perfect.
A pre-game chat with my former station manager Bob Greenburg revealed that Farrell lost senior Natoreus Atwood for the season with an ACL injury.
West Middlesex won the toss and deferred; so that meant Farrell would get the ball to start the game. And just 27 seconds in, the tone was set when Christian Lewis scored on a 42 yard run.
Farrell would score three more touchdowns in the first quarter (one by quarterback Kyi Wright from 1 yard out, Jourdan Townsend on a 23 yard pass from Wright, and Christian Lewis from 6 yards out), to make it 28-0 Farrell after one.
Townsend would score again in the second quarter, but the PAT failed. The halftime score was Farrell 34, West Middlesex 0.
A ho-hum third quarter ended with no change in the score.
Kyi Wright invoked the mercy clock in the fourth quarter when he scored from 42 yards out to make the final score Farrell 40, West Middlesex 0.
To be honest, West Middlesex had no offense and no answers for Farrell. The stat of the night was Farrell having two 100 yard rushers (Kyi Wright with 122, Christian Lewis with exactly 100). Christian Lewis was awarded the O'Neill Coffee Player of the Game t-shirt.
Next week I plan on being in Mercer for the Mercer-Union City game. Before the season started I saw a tweet from Tom Reisenweber of the Erie Times-News that he saw a bear in Mercer, with the hilarious reply from Professor Briggs that maybe Union City was scouting for Mercer.
