Tyler 'Flash' Williams and Trayion 'Crash' Durham followed up last week's explosive performance (424 yards on 36 carries) with a more workman like effort. Williams and Durham combined for 354 yards on 55 carries (Durham carried an amazing 37 times for 221 yards) for a 6.44 yards per carry average. It was the Super Sophs heavy lifting and the offensive line's big day that cleared the way for Colerain QB Greg Tabar to rush for 4 touchdowns (49 yards rushing on 11 carries) and chip in 81 yards passing (4 of 4 with 1 TD) as the offense racked up 500+ yards of offense for the second consecutive week.
The defense did an admirable job holding one of the areas most dynamic players to just 67 yards rushing (134 combined yards) and two rushing TD's. Spencer Ware is a special talent and to hold him to those numbers was a solid accomplishment. Still, the Colerain head coach was impressed. "There were times out there where we had him and then he did something that was like it was out of John Madden (the video game)...Great players are going to make great plays." Overall, the Cardinals held the Vikings to just 208 yards of total offense. This speaks to just how explosive the Vikes can be as they still managed 3 TD's on offense and registered an electrifying 95 yard kick off return on the games first play. Credit the offensive output and a commanding 34 minute to 14 minute time of possession spread with an assist to the defense. In order to chase and contain a player like Spencer Ware fresh legs are required and the offense help provide that lift. This was a true team win.
We at www.wearecolerain.com would like to thank the Princeton Athletic department for allowing us access to the field and press box so we could bring you the pictures, video, interview and analysis from Thursday night's game.
Player of the game:
While it is hard to turn down a young man for carrying the ball 37 times for 221 yards, I'd like to give the award to Jordan Ross. The young man has struggled this season and he rebounded nicely on Thursday by converting 5 of 6 extra point attempts and one touch back on kick offs. He looked much more confident and I want to acknowledge him for keeping his head up and, like the men of Colerain do, work to get better.
