HUSKIES EXPLODE FOR 55-7 SECTIONAL VICTORY OVER NEW ALBANY

For the first time in 18 seasons, the North Huskies raised their season record to 8 wins against just 2 losses with a 55-7 victory over New Albany in the 5A Sectional Semi-Final.  North’s defense held the Bulldogs to just a single first down over the first three-and-a-half quarters of the game and the Husky offense scored touchdowns on nine of their ten possessions.

DEFENSE RULES

Following a North turnover at the New Albany six-yard line on its opening possession, the defensive line systematically broke down the Bulldog offense.  Throughout the contest, seniors Mike Epps and Kamen Parson along with junior Jeraden Copeland bested their counterparts and provided New Albany runners with no daylight to run through.  The benefactors of this gap-closing smothering were linebackers Ricky White, Jr and Parker Daugherty as they routinely dropped runners when attempted to loop runs outside in a desperate search for an opening.

As a result, five of New Albany’s first six possessions resulted in a punt from inside their 35-yard line—the lone exception occurring when they fumbled the ball at their four-yard line and senior Jalen Lynch recovered.  Typically, short punts or long returns resulted in North having a first half average starting field position of the Bulldog 47-yard line.

OFFENSE UNSTOPPABLE

To characterize the North offense as a “steam roller” would not have been an exaggeration on Friday night at Buerk Field.  In the first half of the football game, as North rolled to a 42-0 lead, the Huskies faced third down just twice in seven possessions—and both of those resulted in a touchdown on third down!

OPENING SCORE

The opening possession saw the Huskies fly to the six-yard line of New Albany only to lose the ball on a fumble.  When the defense held and forced a punt that senior De’Amontey Layne returned to the Bulldog 37.  The Huskies hammered away with five straight runs to the ten-yard line before a bobbled pitch resulted in an eight-yard loss to set up third-and-fourteen.

Junior quarterback Jayden Jones faked a handoff and then rolled to his left on a naked-bootleg looking for an open receiver.  As four defenders closed in on him, he continued to roll to his left before finding senior T.J. Michel open at the ten-yard line.  He calmly zipped a pass to Michel who then raced untouched to the flag for the opening score.  Junior Stuart Land kicked his first of seven perfect extra point kicks to give North a 7-0 lead with 5:14 to play in the quarter.

THE LAYNE-TRAIN

Several times in the game De’Amontey Layne would use his great speed to North’s advantage returning punts.  When the Bulldogs’ second possession resulted in a kick, Layne returned it 37 yards—back to the line of scrimmage from where the New Albany punter kicked from.  It took the Huskies just seven plays before senior ‘Q’ Pauley barreled into the endzone from the six to make the score 14-0 as the first quarter ended.

SECOND QUARTER EXPLOSION

New Albany recorded their lone first half first down on the ensuing possession before Mike Epps stalled the possession with a big tackle-for-loss.  Trying to angle the punt away from Layne, the Bulldog kicker pushed it too far toward the sideline and it went out of bounds after just 19 yards.  What followed was an explosion of FOUR North Husky touchdowns in just eight minutes of play.

The first occurred when T.J. Michel scored his second touchdown of the game with an electrifying 41-yard run around left end.  He danced along the sideline and avoided two tacklers while simultaneously avoiding the out of bounds line before angling back to the center of the field.  He easily outraced the Bulldog secondary to make the score 21-0.
