- Thread starter matthew328826
- Start date
Foster's stellar defensive play followed not long after by a sack from Nate Boerboom on 3rd down for the Wildcats from his d-end spot.
It's the Malik Newton Show - just a week after rushing for 399 yards and 7 touchdowns against Norview.
That could've given Lake Taylor some breathing room, but the turnover gives Great Bridge some added hope.
Big-time play made by Titans stud LB Ikeem Wright, their Region 4A Defensive Player of the Year from 2018.
Just when the Great Bridge defense thought they had stopped Lake Taylor, the Titans go to the passing game and strike.
Even though he didn't score, one of the most amazing plays I've seen Malik Newton play, nearly going from one side of the field to another on the final play of the half and scoring. Just an absolute beast.
Lake Taylor in command - up by 22. A strong 3rd period after an up-and-down first half for Hank Sawyer's group.
Titans - barring an amazing Great Bridge comeback - will host the winner of the scheduled Noon kick between Hampton/Warwick.
