Akeem Smith's tackle for loss on 4th & 1 ended Norwood's third possession and we finally had the ball. It took us 6 plays before Van Allen raced 57 yards down the sideline with a pass from Mike Fallon to put us up 12-0.
Too Norwood's credit they didn't quit and put together a TD drive and capitalized on our only offensive turnover to cut the lead to 12-10 with a 37 field goal as time expired in the half.
In the third quarter, Devon Nzepoume caused a fumble that Smith recovered and Fallon connected with Van Allen from 19 yards out to build the lead. Joe Quinn collected his team leading 4th interception late and the third period and Koby Osazee broke the game open on the first play of the 4th quarter when he raced 36 yards for TD.

Our defense was really cooking now which helped us start our next three drives with excellent field position. It took 3 drives and a huge 4th down conversion pass from Fallon to Derek Perkins but we scored with 1:21 left in the game. Fallon found David Perkins on a go route from 22 yards out and after Feeney rushed for the conversion, we led 14-7.

Defense leads Wildcats over Natick
|
10/2/2015 - The Wildcats survived a scare from Natick Friday night in large part to tremendous defensive effort. The Cats completely stopped the Natick ground game and applied great pressure on the quarterback all night. The pressure caused two interceptions, both collected by senior Joe Quinn and kept Natick from scoring an offensive touchdown.
The offense started quickly as Mike Fallon found Derek Perkins on a 44 yard post pattern on our first drive. The conversion pass failed and we led 6-0. While the defense continued to force stops our offense failed on several chances to add points in the first half and we went to halftime up 6-0. The third quarter started poorly when we were pin deep in our own end and failed to move the ball. Our punt was blocked and Natick recovered in our own end zone for a touchdown. They hit the PAT and we trailed 7-6. Finally early in the forth quarter the offense, setup at the 45 yard line, thanks to Quinn's second interception, put together a nice drive. Koby Osazee rushed in from 12 yards out and Derek Perkins added the conversion to put us up 14-7. The defense continued to stuff Natick and the offense pounded the ball on the ground behind Osazee and Mack Feeney to shorten the game and collect the win. |
