It’s the second year
in a row that the Indians have advanced to the State semi-finals and
quarterback Paul Brown says last Friday’s road win over top-ranked, undefeated
Boyden-Hull/Rock Valley ranks high on his list.
Brown connected with
Cody Poock, on a 17-tard touchdown pass to give the Indians a 21-17 lead, with
44 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter.
Brown talks about the pass to Poock
That touchdown
capped an 84-yard drive, which consumed over seven minutes in the fourth
quarter, where the Indians had to overcome a few negative setbacks which
included losses of yardage and penalties.
Brown and Spaeth talk about final drive
That’s wide receiver
Casey Spaeth, who caught multiple clutch passes during that fourth quarter
drive, and also registered two interceptions, including one on the final play
of the game, to seal the victory.
