Game Summary vs Stratford Elks

You have to hand it to the Stratford Elks. Their defense held Coleman to negative rushing yardage in the first half. When it came time to control the game, they did in a big way in the third quarter. Coleman's only score was a kickoff return by Chase Avants, otherwise, the Bluecat offense never took the field in the third period. Here is how the game played out.
We have to commend Sarah Smith of Coleman for singing a beautiful rendition of the National Anthem, lots of pressure, she pulled it off like a pro.
* Coleman won the toss and had first possession of the ball. The series ended in a punt.
* Stratford took over on the Coleman 43. The Bluecats made a fine defensive stand, holding the Elks at the 2. Facing 4th and goal, the Elks kicked a field goal to lead 3-0.
* Coleman started their next series on their own 31, ran five plays and punted.
* Stratford started on their own 33 with 2:40 left in the first quarter. At 10:25 in the second quarter, they scored a TD on a pass play. Bluecats fans felt the receiver pushed our defender down but the score stood with no PAT, 9-0.
* Coleman took the kick and started at their own 27. Bluecat quarterback Colton Buzzard was injured on this series, Glen Edington was his replacement. Coleman's drive ended on a fumble with the Elks recovering at 8:56 left in the half.
* Stratford ran three plays and threw a pass intercepted by Stanley Cole at the 18 yard line with 7:35 left in the 2nd Q.
* Coleman moved the ball to the 49 but failed to convert on 4th and 1 giving the ball back to Stratford on downs.
* With a few seconds remaining in the first half, Stratford scored another TD on a pass from QB Hunter Buckles to Scott Hudson, the 2pt. PAT was good, giving Stratford a 17-0 lead at halftime.

* Stratford received the kickoff to begin the 3rd Q and started at their own 36. Facing a 4th and 7 on this series, the Elks completed a 10 yd. pass to stay alive. Finally, on 4th and goal from the 8, Stratford kicked a 25 yard field goal to lead 20-0.
* Coleman's only score of the game came when Chas Avants returned the ensuing kickoff 84 yards into the south end zone. Oscar Villeda kicked the point after. Stratford 20, Coleman 7. (Coleman hadn't played to their potential thus far in the game, but this score brought the Bluecats around to their old form, they were renewed and played much better from this point forward)
* Stratford started their next drive on their 41. The series ended in a punt.
* With 9:47 left in the game, Coleman's offense touched the ball for the first time in the second half. The Bluecats went to the air three straight times, all incomplete, and had to punt. Nice punts all night by Adam Vasquez.
* With 9:27 left, Stratford went to clock control, watching the play clock tick down to the final seconds before snapping the ball. The series was short lived, the ball going over on downs with 7:17 left.
* Coleman began their next series on their own 32. Glen Edington went to the airways completing a 20 yard pass to Brandon Worsham and a 26 yard pass to Bronson Buzzard to move the ball to the Stratford 17. With 4:46 left in the game, the Bluecats were called for holding and then for a false start, moving the ball back to the 29 yard line eventually facing 4th and 14 and failing to convert.
* A great defensive stand by Coleman forced Stratford to punt to Bronson Buzzard who was tackled and then hit late by an Elk. The 15 yard personal foul gave Coleman good field position.
* From the 44 yard line, Edington completed a 21 yard pass to Chase Avants, had a couple incompletions, then found Worsham for a 16 yard completion. Coleman got to Stratford's 7 yard line with 56 seconds remaining but a delay of game penalty moved Coleman back to the 12 facing 3rd and 7, then 4th and 7. Edington threw one last hope to Avants in the end zone, incomplete.
* With 45 seconds remaining, Stratford ran out the clock and won the Regional Championship 20-7.

Elks Claim Regional Playoff Game
12/2/2006
The 2006 Class 2-A, Division II, Regional Championship trophy went to the Stratford Elks Friday, December 1, at Lowery Field in Lubbock. Stratford beat the Coleman Bluecats 20-7 before a large contingent of Bluecat loyals. Coleman's season ends with 9 wins and 4 losses, a Bi-District and Area Championship to their credit.
It was a rough night for the Bluecat offense, it simply wasn't hitting on all cylinders. At halftime, the Bluecats had negative rushing yardage. By the end of the game, the Bluecats had seven first downs and 94 yards total offense, only one yard rushing. The Bluecats passed for 94 yards, mainly in the second quarter. Compounding the problem was an ankle injury to starting sophomore quarterback Colton Buzzard in the first half who watched the game on crutches the rest of the night. Sophomore backup QB Glen Edington was thrown into the frey and performed admirably against the defending Class A state champion Elks.
The only score in the game for Coleman came when Chase Avants returned a kickoff 84 yards. Oscar Villeda added the extra point.
A game summary will follow later.
