As terrific as Maury was offensively in the first half, they've gotten a bit stagnant, in part due to proection issues, here in the second half. They are forced to punt it away.
Can Highland Springs avoid being shut out for the first time since 2012 when Varina blanked them 20-0 in the regular season finale?
Well, it's not looking too good as the Springers begin at their own 22 with 6:36 to play on this latest series. The Maury blitz is really giving Nelson Layne and the HSHS offense fits. On 3rd & 11, it's Corey Jacobs from his linebacker spot knifing in, along with the help from his mates, to drop Layne for a loss of 5.
At one point, Layne had 23 yards rushing. By my count, he's at 0 yards on 13 attempts.
A 12-yard punt puts Maury at the Springers 28 with 4:02 to go. Leon Clark rushes for 8, then it's an incomplete to bring up 3rd & 2.
