Football scrimmage Story with video

Spring football practice came to an end Friday night in the Holt Arena, with the last of the spring scrimmages. A small crowd of Bengal supporters came to see how much the team has improved with spring practice.

A major rule change did present a problem for the offense it was then decided not to implement it. The new 40 second play clock, which is like the NFL, the clock stats with the end of the last play, instead of when the referee whistles the ball live. This created a confusion for Russel Hill the starting quarter back, so the coaches and the referees decided not to enforce this new rule.

Russel Hill had the first drive of the game, he moved the team to 45 with a good mixture of runs and a 15 yard pass to number 32 Ken Cornist. The first series of downs came to an end when number 11 Jeremy Gibbson and number 52 Phillip Aris sacked quarterback Russel Hill
on the 35 yard line.

Second set of downs bought number 8 Kyle Blum to quarterback the offense. Kyle lead the offense down the field with two passes one of 45 yards and the other of 30 yards, again the defense stop the offensive on downs.

Before the end of first half Kevin Mozzochi number 10 came out lead the team on downs and was stopped by the defense.

With the break in the action the special teams showed a little of their talent with the punters kicking and special team receivers catching the ball.

After the intermission play resumed. Russel Hill then showed his passing talent with a pass for a touchdown to Isaiah Burl, this was one of his two passes that were completed for touchdowns. Hill went 7 for 12 in passing for 79 yards .

Showing that he was ready to step in if Hill is injured Kylm Blum went 6 for 12 for 92 yards in the pass department with one touchdown to Kenyon Blue.

Performing outstandingly on defense was Keith Goins who continue to pick off passes, he pick off his third pass in three scrimmages.
