Hilltoppers 31 Marist 30 2OT FINAL
- Thread starter penlight
- Start date
What a huge win for the Hilltoppers! No one thought they would be 3-1 heading into Naz next week. Credit to both teams for an exceptional game.
Not bad, since the Hilltoppers were able to find a way two weeks in row. Fenwick missed a FG after hitting an upright last week. Marist missed the extra point in the second OT after hitting an upright. Ya gotta believe.
That was a huge win. JC just sucked it up and found a way to win. Almost found a way to pull it out at the end of regulation on a ridiculous catch that got negated by a penalty.
For all the positives the Hilltoppers showed and the gutsy effort it was by both teams, I am sure Marist will watch film and wonder what the heck happened in the second half. With them up 17-7 and controlling the game, I don't think anyone was predicting a comeback there from the offense.
And man, that defense. Take away one broken play on 4th and a long goal in the first quarter and the one 80 yard run and they were stingy as heck. I know the scoreboard shows them giving up a good number of points in 2OT, but they found a way to make it hard against a really good offfense and came up with big stop after big stop and some timely turnovers.
Defense seems to be championship caliber. Offense showing signs of life.
