Later in the first quarter on fourth and four Rasmussen keeps, again goes to the far sideline, he's dragged down on the two yard line, the Pirates would score again to make it 14-nothing. Glendale would cut that lead in half when Joey Mendel takes it to the right side, keeps on the option, turns the corner and is gone, a 52 yard touchdown run to make it a 14-6 game with the missed p-a-t.

Gary Hurst/Glendale Coach:"We just couldn't match up with them up front tonight. and they took advantage of us. I'm real proud of our kids and the effort that they put out in the game. They had a good year." Tanner Thompson/Glendale Running Back:"They played harder than we did maybe. Maybe they were faster than us. You never know, mistakes, it takes all kinds of things." Kevin Redmon/Glendale Quarterback:"They were pretty good up front. We really didn't put any pressure on the quarterback. They were a pretty athletic team, I'll give them that. And they were pretty well coached. So they had good players." |
