4th White Mangles Mansfield

A Thursday Night Special!

Richie Taylor’s 4th Grade White welcomed Mansfied to Smith Robinson for a Thursday Night Scrimmage under the lights.  Greenwood jumped on the visiting Tigers on the opening drive, and never let off the gas pedal until the Tigers called the game with 4 minutes of regulation to go.  Although no scoreboard was used to keep track, Mansfield knew they had had enough, and the Tiger coaches called it quits with the score somewhere around 30 – 6.

Play of the Game:

It was first and goal for Greenwood on the six inch line.  In an attempt to motivate his team, Coach Taylor announced to the entire stadium that the play would be a “Quarterback keeper, up the middle, and it’ll be on one!”  he shouted for all to hear.  The Pitbulls looked at the coach as if to say, “Uh, Coach?  They heard that.”  Taylor repeated the play even louder and added, “Get up there and whip somebody!”  Both teams crowded the center of the field.  The Mansfield Coaches shouted to the Tigers “He’s not kidding!  Plug the middle!”   The teams approached each other and lined up like lions vs. hyenas over a fresh kill.  Zac Bodirsky knew what was at stake…

…the pride of Greenwood was on the line.  Mansfield was up to the challenge, sending a flood of red jerseys through the middle of the Greenwood line.  On second down the Pitbulls lined up as if to go for the same play, but ran a toss right for a wide open touchdown.

The victory made two wins in a row for the 4th Grade White beating Hartford on Tuesday and Mansfield on Thursday.  Saturday the team travels to Westville to resume conference play.
