Edmond Santa Fe vs. Norman North...
11:21 p.m. – NN 27, ESF 10 – Final. I’ll have much more to say about this tomorrow.
10:05 p.m. – NN 27, ESF 10, end 3rd. Ponder had a huge quarter while Tettleton threw three INTs in the quarter. ESF takes over with 11:18 left in the game.
9:09 p.m. – After one of the longest first halves I’ve ever seen, it’s NN 27, ESF 3. Total yards: NN 291, ESF 125. Everything ESF is trying is just not working. A fake punt failed. Easley tacked on another FG as time expired. I said Tettleton would be the key and so far, he hasn’t disappointed.
The key was right before the Symonds TD, there was a pass interference call on Willie Okwuonu that I don’t think ESF has recovered from yet.
8:46 p.m. – Don’t blink. NN has taken control of this game. Tettleton found Nyko Symonds for a 76-yard score and followed that with a 30-yard strike to Hayden Dupell that took ‘em down to the 1. Beau Blankenship punched it in. It’s 24-3 with 3:24 left.
8:31 p.m. – ESF lost a TD. Michael Hodges found Randy Ponder for a 10-yard score but was called back for holding. Hodges then found Kevin Nowlin for 15 yards and K Robert Edge booted home a 28-yarder. NN 10, ESF 3 with 6:08 left in the first half.
8:27 p.m. – Whew, NN went for the kill and it backfired. Faced with a 4th-and-inch at its own 24, Tettleton was stopped short of the first down. ESF has 3rd-and-goal at the 10 with 6:32 left in the first half.
8:15 p.m. – So confident with Bryce Easley’s kicking ability, I already penciled in his 23-yard FG attempt. And sure enough, no issues. So with 11:01 left in the first half, it’s NN 10, ESF 0. ESF looks a little deflated, need something to get the crowd and the players back in the game.
