Blog LIVE Game Blog - Thomas Jefferson-Richmond (3-0) at Norcom (2-1)

Marquell Johnson returns the kickoff 14 yards for Norcom to begin this series at their own 45 with 11:20 to go in the third quarter.

Coach Anthony Hawkins decides to use his most electric weapon, Penn State recruit Matthew Outten, in the Wildcat formation to take the direct snap from center and use his athletic talents to attack the TJ defense. Outten, who had negative rushing yards in the first half, runs for +11, then +10 and adds a yard before a 9-yard scamper moves the sticks down to the 19 of the Vikings.

The Greyhounds then insert Carlik Franklin into the backfield, but multiple TJ defenders bottle him up before a pass is incomplete in the end zone, but pass interference gives them 10 yards down to the 10 for 3rd & 1. There it's Reginald Weston and Kai Thompson teaming to drop the latest Norcom ball carrier, Carlek Phillips, for a loss of 3.

Norcom will use a time-out before the crucial 4th & 4 from the 13 with 5:53 to go in the third period, trailing 27-6.
