Game #7 New Town

It was another perfect fall day. A light breeze blowing, sun shining, a great day for football!
Loch Raven traveled to New Town High in Owings Mills. They game started with a good kickoff by Ryan Davis. Our special teams pinned them down around the 30.
First play for New Town - hand-off - they gain 7 yards. Next play - same thing - only this time - a gain of 0. They try 2 passing plays, both incomplete. We take over on downs at about their 35. A couple of successful running plays and #45 Khirhy Hayes runs it in for the touchdown! Ryan Davis in for the extra point kick .... It's Good! Raiders strike first 7-0.
Next series, New Town moves the ball down the field, the running back breaks loose and scores.
They go for 2 points. 2 point conversion - No Good. Raiders still have the lead. 7-6
Loch Raven starts their next drive on the 20. 1st play - hand-off to Khirhy Hayes, #45, he going, still up, still moving - he could go all the way ... and he does - Touchdown! This time coach calls for a 2 point play - Hand-off to #10 Dashawn Marshall and he's in for 2 points! Raiders leading now 15-6. Close to the end of the half, the Titans (New Town) are on the move. but they run out of time.
New Town has only 1 win and Loch Raven has two. Well I must say the coach of New Town gave their guys a real pep talk. They came out to do their warm-ups and were loud and all pumped up. They carried this new vitality through the second half of the game.
New Town went on to score 3 more touchdowns. The Raiders could not hold them and the Raiders offense could not get anything going. New Town wins 24 - 15.
One thing I must say about the defense, they are pretty good on defending the 2 point conversion. The Titans attempted the 2 pointer - 4 times, and all 4 times they got stuffed!!
Our defense just needs to stop the 6 pointer.
The first half was much more exciting - but all in all it was a good game. One minor injury, our defensive leader, Trey Mostyn injured his ankle. He is questionable for this Thursday's game.
Varsity lost to New Town 32-0 on Saturday.

Two games left. Maybe we just have trouble winning on the road. Both of our wins were at home. We are undefeated at home. This Thursday, Sparrows Point. This week is spirit week with the homecoming game (Varsity) on Friday. Nobody likes to lose during homecoming week.
Sparrows Point has a really good record and will be tough to beat. I sure the Raiders will do their best!
