Larry Barney while running around the end is hit and tackled. Larry gained a couple of yards on the play though, before being brought down. Scott Basamello is coming over to try and help Larry. The Tigers come out onto the field ready for the game against Georgetown-Ridgefarm. The Tigers are lead by senior Captain Larry Barney out onto the field. John Stricklett runs downfield for a good distance before he is brought down. All around John, is Westville players ready to block for him and lead the way. The first quarter was played very well by both defenses. Each teams offense was stopped before they could really do anything to hurt the other team. Neither teams offense played very well but they did not commit turnovers. The first quarter was really a defensive game. The second quarter was about the same, the offense although started to play better. They started moving the ball better but they still never could really pull away from each other. The defenses were still playing very good games. At halftime both schools bands played. Then at the start of the third quarter you could tell that the defenses were starting to get tired, of playing as hard in the first half. They weren’t stoping each other as quick or hitting as hard. The game started to turn to an offensive game. Each teams offense was getting the ball and moving it down the field farther each time, but they also started having turnovers that would hurt each team. Then the fourth quarter started and Georgetown-Ridgefarm started to pull ahead of Westville. Westville’s offense could just not move the ball down field effectively. Westville’s defense was getting very tired and it took effect on a fourth and thirty-three Georgetown-Ridgefarm ran for a touchdown. It proved to be more than enough for the victory. Westville’s defense was just to tired to keep up with the pace of the fast moving game. 17
