Turtleheads plow their way through the field

Though the Pass-along-grass gave a big fight, pulling out trick plays here and there, they were no match for the experienced Turtleheads.

The game winning aspects in any football game are big plays, turnovers, and a strong defense. And in this match-up the Turtleheads came out on top in all three categories.

The game started with 2 quick touchdowns by the Turtleheads whose offense seemed to be in sync on every play. The Pass-along-grass started to get an offense going with some trickery. They gained a few yards with a direct snap to the running back who was in motion and left the entire Turtlehead defense standing on their heals wondering what had just happened. However with this trickery came some confusion that led to a Turtlehead interception and touchdown by Daren Peterson.

During half-time, Pass-along-grass expressed that they needed to change things up more. They needed to score more, not let the other team get plays where they get 6 points, and on a more serious note, stop the penetration up the middle by the Turtleheads.

The second half was all Turtlehead. After a few changes of possession the Pass-along-grass turned away from trickery to a simple passing game and made it to the other end of the field. But the Turtleheads showed their unstoppable defense with Daren Peterson’s quick blitzes putting pressure on the quarterback; the Pass-along-grass team was not able to score.

The next possession the Turtleheads scored with a full field hail mary and walked away with a 25-0 victory.

After the game, the Turtlehead players Matthew Taylor, and Robert Harvey they named Darren Peterson their “MDP” (Most Darren Peterson)

Robert Harvey said a big part of their victory was that they were all “passing well, running well and their defense stopped them (Pass-along-grass) all.”
