Kanab @ South Sevier
Friday, September 21
What a game this was!
We started off by Brandon picking off the ball and running in for a touchdown. He kicked the PAT- good.
Kanab 7 South Sevier 0
Brandon led the team down the field. When we got to the 10 yard line....interception. ouch!
A while later South Sevier scored 7-7. We got the ball and Brandon threw another interception. Ouch again! It was so hard to watch. I felt so bad for Brandon.
South Sevier scored again, and completed a 2 pt conversion.
Score South Sevier 15-7 going into half time.
3rd quarter starts without Brandon as quarter back. Chase Adams took over as quarter back. He marches the team down the field. He cannot complete any passes, so Brandon kicks a field goal.. good.
South Sevier 15 Kanab 10
South Sevier drives down to the 20. They throw up a jump ball. Brandon picks it off in the end zone. After a short drive by Kanab we punted the ball to South Sevier. A 15 yard personal foul led to a short field for South Sevier and they scored again. With another 2 point conversion Kanab was trailing 23-10 going into the 4th.
Brandon came back in at quarterback and threw another pic. Rough passing stats. After a short drive by the Rams Kanab got the ball back. Brandon drove down the field and at about the 40 he connected with Brandon Nielsen for a touchdown pass. The PAT was good. Kanab 17- South Sevier 23.
South Sevier got the ball back and after a short 3 and out Kanab had the ball with about 5 minutes left. After after a bout 3 minutes of driving the field Kanab found themselves in a 3rd and 8 situation on the 20 yard line. Brandon threw the ball as he was being hit and the safety jumped up to knock the ball down. Sailing inches over the hands of the defender the ball found its way into the hands of the tight end James Anderson on his knees in the endzone!!!(It was a flashback of a BYU-UTAH game a few years ago). It was all tied up and then we made the PAT to go up by one!
Kanab 24- South Sevier 23
Brandon sent the kick off through the back of the endzone and with under a minute remaining South Sevier had the ball. The first play of the drive they threw a pass deep down the left sideline and Brandon picked it off again! The game was over! It was a story book ending to a rough first half. After the game we teased Brandon and told him he had a good defensive game with 6 interceptions( 3 on defense and 3 on offense). While it may not have been the prettiest win it was definitely a night we will all remember for a long time!
Brandon and Brandon Nielsen celebrate after the win.
They were the MVP's of the game!
So great to all be together sharing all the emotions of the game.
Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Jenson for making it.
