Game 8 Recap
It was a very promising start for the Jamestown Chiefs
(1-5) of the Northeastern Football Alliance at home
against the Lyndonville Tigers, but in the end there was
too much of the visitors' offense as Lyndonville
prevailed, 23-15, on Saturday at Strider Field.
A big stand on fourth-and-one for the Chiefs defense set
up Shawn Fink, James Dickey and the rest of the Chiefs
for their opening drive near midfield as the game got
under way. After four bruising runs, Fink lobbed a
32-yard strike to Gary Kum for the game's first score.
Jamestown was up, 7-0.
''They went for it on fourth down on their own 45-yard
line,'' Jamestown Chiefs coach Brendan Carter said. ''We
stopped, them ,took over for our opening drive and ran
the play-action, corner fade.''
The Chiefs were fired up early and playing well in front
of their fans, but the Tigers roared right back.
The Lyndonville offense woke up and rattled off 23
unanswered points.
''Their offense ran a total of 63 plays and we ran just
30,'' Carter added. ''We had a really hard time
maintaining their quarterback. He was a nightmare.''
Lyndonville's speed on the turf at Strider Field led to big
plays for the Tigers, but the biggest play of the game
came in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter for
Chiefs kickoff return specialist, Ricky Gonzalez.
Gonzalez blazed down the field for a 78-yard score,
Dickey trotted in for the two-point conversation and the
Chiefs were right back in the game.
There just wasn't any time left for a fourth quarter
comeback.
''Defensively we played very well with the bend but don't
break philosophy,'' Carter said. ''We just bent a lot
longer than what I would have liked.''
One 15-play drive was the only blemish on an otherwise
stellar defensive day. In five other trips into the red
zone, the Tigers walked away with just three field goals
and two turnovers.
