Game 5 Recap
Game 5 at Strider Field, Jamestown:
Against a two-time, repeating national champion,
the Chiefs weren't expected to get a win, but head
coach Brendan Carter knew his team would play
inspired football in their home opener.
At halftime, the game was scoreless. The Chiefs
defense, led by Chad Slade, Ryan McIntyre and Josh
Benson, was forcing turnovers, making plays and giving
the team a chance to pull off a remarkable upset.
Costly turnovers in the second half plagued the
Chiefs' offense. A 95-yard punt return gave the Sting a
6-0 lead that inflated quickly to 20-0.
Still, the Chiefs were not going to get shut out on
their home turf. Carter has a special offensive package
in place with Jamestown native Henry Leeper under
center. Leeper drove the Chiefs down the field in under
three minutes, highlighted by a 35-yard completion to
Gary Kum, and scored a touchdown on a quarterback
draw.
It was the first-ever touchdown scored at Strider
Field for the Jamestown Chiefs of the NFA.
James Dickey dominated in the running game during
the first half. Brian Hardy proved he can be a playmaker
in the passing game after hauling in a 23-yard reception
on a tipped ball down the sidelines and Leeper is a
triple-threat who seems to be able to get first downs in
his sleep.
Those three highly-touted players are only several of
the key pieces to this team's success now and in the
future.
The 1-4 Chiefs will be on the road next week in
Watertown before coming home for a three-game stretch
at Strider Field.
