(9-9-17) Former Stateline area coaches went 2-1 on Friday night.
The lone loss on Friday was in Arizona when former Celina Coach Mike Fell and his Mountain View (2-1) Toros lost their first game of the season 26-7 to Pinnacle.
Fell told mynewsmeas.com after the game:
“I felt like coming in this would show what type of team we are. I still believe that we can play with these guys. I still think we are good enough.”
The Toros, who are now 2-1, will play Mountain Pointe next week.
Pinnacle 3 16 0 7 – 26 Mountain View 0 0 7 0 – 7
Another former Celina Coach Jared Rolfes, continues to enjoy the drama his Page (NC) Pirates provide every week. Taking it down to the final seconds is quickly becoming a normal part of the Pirates game-plan.
This week, Thomas Murray’s 19-yard field goal with 1:43 to play in the game was the difference in Page’s 19-16 win at Eastern Guilford. But his punt in the third quarter could have been the key in the last minute win, Eastern Guilford had gone up 9-0 with 8:06 in the quarter, the Wildcats would then stop the Pirates on the next drive, but thanks to Murray nailing a 44-yard punt that would put Eastern with their backs against the wall on their own 1-yard line.
Rolfes told greensboro.com after the game:
“People fail to remember that when you have a kicker who can put you in position to be successful, that’s huge. Tonight we won because he gave us those three points and because he flipped the field.”
