Cardinals win first football game of season
The lone Cardinals
got their 2007 football sea
son off to a good start with
an exciting 26-20 win over
Cove at the Eight Man Clas
sic last Saturday in Dufur.
Trailing 20-6 early in
the third quarter, the Cards
found the endzone three
tim es w ithout an answ er
from the Leopards to first
tie the game at 20 and then
go ahead 26-20 with 3:08
on the clock. Three minutes
gave Cove plenty o f time to
make the game interesting
though. Just when it looked
like the lone defense had
the Leopards where they
wanted them on 4,h and 16,
C ove’s quarterback made
the most o f a broken play
with a long run downfield to
put his team in the red zone
with 46 seconds to go. The
Cardinal defense held tough,
highlighted by a huge sack
by Clay Morter on 4th down
to give possession back to
the Cards with 12 seconds
remaining to seal the win.
F o r a te am th a t
played until November be
fore getting their first win
last season, this win was im
portant. “This team needed
it bad” said Coach Dennis
Stefani. “ 1 was proud of the
kids on their first showing.
Bv Kick Paullus
Justin Archer (#3) running for a touchdown. Clay M orter (#23)
is also shown in the picture.
They showed a lot of heart to
come back like they did.”
While the scoreboard
said 26-20, Stefani said that
the Cardinals “played better
than a 26-20 win. 1 felt like
we had control of the game
the whole time.” He noted
that C o v e ’s scores were
usually the result o f blown
assignm ents and m ental
mistakes by lone rather than
sustained drives against the
defense.
O ffen siv ely , J u s
tin Archer led the team in
rushing yards, carrying the
ball 34 times for 208 yards
and two touchdowns. Clay
Morter chipped in with 35
yards on 10 carries and
scored one TD. Sophomore
Q uarterback, RJ Ram os,
threw the ball sparingly but
connected successfully w ith
Paul Hams for the 56 yard
