Updates and JV Football

Updates – The OC Lady Patriots lost to Hart County Wednesday 7-3, which means it was a pretty close game until the last inning.  The softballers played Social Circle today but I don’t know the results at this time.  They take on Putnam County Monday.

JV Football – In a quick update the JV football team traveled to Harlem today and came away with a 7-0 win.  Check back later for the details.  You can see the pictures here:  http://hdgp.photoreflect.com/store/thumbpage.aspx?e=8675280

OCJV vs Harlem JV – OC traveled to Harlem Thursday to play the Harlem Bulldogs.  Unfortunately for the Bulldogs the JV Pats took their revenge out on the Bulldogs coming home with a 7-0 win.

        OC won the toss and elected to receive and Dylan Pulliam took the kickoff out to the 32 yard line.  Kody Smith, JV QB directed the OC offense.  Between running by Tyler Sharp, Moochie Wymbs, Smith and others I don’t know, OC would move the ball down to the Harlem 10.  But a series of penalties would move the ball back out to near the 40 forcing the Pats to punt.  OC’s unsuccessful drive did use up nearly 7 minutes of the first quarter clock.

        Harlem started their first possession of the game on their own 20.  Harlem basically went the wrong way between a penalty and two sacks forcing the Bulldogs to punt.     

        Following the punt OC got the ball on the Bulldog 32 yard with just a couple of minutes left in the quarter.  Tyler Hooper got a good gain for a first down at the 20.  With first and ten at the Bulldog 20 Tyler Sharp gained another 15 yards down to the 5 and a first down.  OC moved the ball to about the one yard line and Smith pushed it across the line for and OC touchdown.  Ben Giles was good on the PAT making the score 7-0.

        For the sake of brevity, this was the only score of the game even though the Patriots managed 12 first downs for the game.  The major problem from a scoring point of view was penalties and interceptions.  Both teams had their fair share.  

        Harlem had two players hurt bad enough to be removed from the game.  One player hurt his knee and the other player broke his leg.  For the Patriots Tyler Hooper got sandwiched from the back and front and injured his neck.  He said at the varsity game he hoped to be able to practice next week, but his neck was still sore. 

        OC travels to Washington-Wilkes on Thursday, September 20 to take on the Tigers at 5:30pm.
