year head coach and Coach congratulations on the win uh what was it like to not only get a win but to do it against a longtime rival that you haven't played in a long time in shard yeah it was a good night for us um I think we were a little little slow in the first quarter there obviously going down 14- nothing uh to start the game and it was good to see some fight from our kids it was a little bit different this week where last week we kind of got into the third quarter the wheels started to fall off a little bit and now this week it was good to see our kids fight back and put up 34 points there and and uh get the win so was a good night for us offensively there after the first quarter got over with second and third quarter I thought we were really efficient defense played well after that first quarter uh made some adjustments on both sides of the ball and uh couldn't be prouder for our kids a really exciting win for them first win in the track uh first this season so it was a big night kind of it's a big night coach always a good night when you get a victory but even better when you get it over a team like Shard a team that you guys haven't played in forever but a lot of history between these two schools how fun was it to see that old familiar rival across the field from you guys yeah it was like I said it was exciting an exciting night uh I thought the the fans and the the community came out and supported us and uh it was good to see that community support and electric atmosphere down there at George Pratt I wouldn't want to call any other place in the state home um so yeah it was a big win to to renew that rivalry with Shard at home and and our first shot at them in in quite a few years so it's good to get uh win number one in conference and win number one as well so you you got a bunch of those coach this year a bunch of new old rivals that you got to get ready for hey um it was a special night down there uh a guy that's been behind the microphone for for your games when you played there and now obviously as you coached there John hite's last game on wrmj what does that guy mean not just to you but to that Community to wmj the things he's done over the last 45 years yeah he's been a he's been a staple in the community and for that station for a number of years and he's you know always done a really really good job calling our games we're thankful to have the coverage that we have uh in a small town like AO and and John has been the voice of Mercer County football for for so long you know uh his signature touchdown calls and just the the way he cares about the program and you could tell in my first year as a head coach last year whenever he would do the the pregame interviews and the postgame interviews as a dude that really cared about you know 16 17y old kids in in their athletic Journeys and wanted to give them the coverage they deserve so um yeah just it was it was a special night I'm sure for him and you know we kind of

Sterling to take on as Sterling took on Niles Notre Dame and it is the visiting team or I should say yeah the visiting team getting to the quarterb for the stack later it is Drew nettleson connecting

Dames Luke Olen gets his fingers on it he recovers the black punt that's the first points of the game made it six to nothing the Dons adding to their lead in the second when Gallagher snaps the ball

Final in that one hey game of the night back to the Three Rivers we go it was top five battle between Rockridge and Princeton first drive of the game it is Colin schwen rolling out and finding Owen Steel who gets into the the end zone for the touchdown Rock Ridge with a quick 6 nothing lead Tigers first possession and they go right to work as well they hand it off to Ace Christensen he gets into the end zone 76 the visitors take the early lead later in the quarter it is Princeton keeping it on the ground and giving it right back to Christensen he gets in his second touchdown longer one that made it 14- six later in the second Princeton looking for more they keep it on the ground really good up front this time they end up giving it to Casey ethd who goes around the corner and he sees daylight and the end zone as well 216 Princeton looking good but not so fast back comes Rock Ridge second quarter it's schween to Owen Steel for his second touchdown of the evening 2112 Tigers lead down to just nine then how about this more from Rock Ridge more from schwen he finds Landon Wheatley 218 the lead down to three at the half second half not much offense but a lot of Defense it is Arthur Burton with the interception right there they would end up scoring a couple field goals in the second half and that's all the offense for both teams in the second half it's Princeton going on the road and picking up an impressive 2718 Victory two very good football team let's hear from the Tigers you know I don't think that we played our best game last week and so we really wanted to come out firing on all cylinders tonight you know rock rdge did hit a an early score on us right off the bat but I was very happy with our response we went right down the field scored uh got a big stop and then we boom went right B the field and scored again so for us to to start off the game like we did tonight you know that's just a testament to the kids and their preparation that they put in all week we all knew that it was going to be a dog fight coming into you know they got some dudes on their team and you know we also got some dudes so you know we're going to go out here and batt and I think that's what we did especially in the first half cuz that those are big you know if you can get up early that's what you want to try to do and I think scoring in the first half was was it that put puts sets a tone really hey two really good football teams the good news is one's in 2A one's in 3A yeah they won't meet again the rest of the year yes and maybe a couple state championship caliber teams doing that as well we got Tom ker working hard for us as we get ready for the shawk game tomorrow in kinnick stadium and Tommy it's been uh it's been all Hawkeyes in the series close games but mostly Iowa winners of late yeah seven the last eight Iowa has won and turnovers are key because in those games Iowa has created 13 turnovers Iowa State only six the only time Iowa State won is Iowa turned it over three times so see those are the stats that we need out of Brian stocking who is our resident I with State fan don't worry he's got his gear on and everything it'll be great it'll be awesome

touchdown 30yd touchdown made it 76 assumption back within one North on the Move later in the second quarter but it is Ben yagi with another interception for assumption Knight's defense looking good and they try to add to it just before the half but the north defense says I got your interceptions how about a scoop score for a touchdown balls on the turf it's Bryce Paulie scooping it up and he goes back the other way making at 14-6 could North beat an assumption they do that I'm sure Brian stocken will be talking about that a little bit 28 19 your final score Central dit making the short trip to Goose Lake to take on Northeast Sabers on a fourth and two looking to make the conversion Max bergm finds a hole to move the chains but the Northeast defense proves to be too much senior Grant Gray blocks the punt the rebels have a great field position and Northeast makes it count quarterback Gavin Kramer turns on on the wheels and scrambles for the first down and more and that sets up this next play right here Grant Gray making big moves again the senior jumps into the end zone for the touchdown the rebels stay dominant this one they win 44 to8 final must continue looking for their first win of the Season hosting dport Central in their home opener muskies holding a 2112 lead second quarter looking for more but this is Carson Williams knocks the ball loose Conor Jones recovered
