Park Vista 36 John I Leonard 7

The visiting Lancers of John Leonard were pushed all over the field by the home Cobras who ran for 312 yards in their 36-7 victory on Friday night.

The Cobras took their opening drive 71 yards, capped by a 10 yard sweep into far corner of the end zone by running back Jake Owen. On their next series the Cobras continued their momentum, scoring on a 10 yard option run from quarterback Eddie Sullivan.

After their two scores in the first quarter the Cobras were careless in the ball throughout the second quarters. Sullivan threw two wobbly passes that were both picked off by Jarius Marlow. On the next series, running back Johnny Celicourt fumbled away another scoring opportunity.

In the second half the Cobras used their obvious size advantage and ran the ball right down the throats of the Lancers. On their opening drive of the third quarter the Cobras drove 70 yards, all of it on the ground, minus a 23 yard pass to Matt Welsh. Jeremy Norfus was the workhorse on the drive running for 43 punishing yards, including a five yard TD run.

Down 21-0 heading into the fourth, Lancers quarterback Jake Boyd threw 10 passes on a 68 yard touchdown drive. After a trick play, right out of Varsity Blues almost resulted in a turnover, Boyd lobed a beautiful touch pass to the corner of the end zone to Jordan Magaw for the Lancers first and only score.

Leading 21-7, the Cobras remained relentless on the ground against the Lancers. Celicourt proved to be the lightning to the thunderous running style of Norfus, rushing for 52 yards, on one drive, including a seven yard touchdown run to give the Cobras a insurmountable 28-7 lead. The Cobras defense forced a turnover on downs, giving the ball back to their offense and Sullivan scampered for a 17 yard touchdown run. With the game completely out of hand, the Cobras defense forced Boyd to throw the ball away in the end zone for a safety.
