Landmark Christian 47 Crimson Knights 0 (Indiana)


 

This afternoon at Mount St. Joseph University, the Ohio High School 2024 season kicked off, with the Landmark Eages out of Cincinnati hosting the Crimson Knights out of Indianapolis, Indiana. I spoke briefly to Coach Goodpastor before the game, and he said, "We are young.".

Things started out well for the home team when Stefon Hamerling took the opening kickoff about 45 yards to the Knights 25, but the Knights defense stood strong and kept the Eagle off the board.

The Knights had a bad snap that Ian Musgrave fell on, but the play resulted in a 15-yard loss. From there, the Eagles quickly got their offense back on the field. Noah Bryant would use some nice field vision coupled with some nasty line work to pick up 10 yards with 7:23 left in the opening quarter. The four-play, 43-yard drive closed on a 25-yard touchdown pass from AJ Skoog to a wide open Israel Marcum. Daniel-Hoke cleared the crossbar with his point-after-kick to make this a 7-0 game, with 5:31 showing on the clock.

On the ensuing kickoff, Jordan-Jacobson recovered the onside kick to put the Eagles offense right back on the field. Byrant would pick up 34 yards on two nice runs, with the final run going for a touchdown to make this a 14-0 game with 2:51 left in the quearter.

The Knights had a little run on the ensuing kickoff, but the returner fumbled the ball after taking a hard hit, making the recovery for the Eagles for Phillip Johnson. After a 20-yard catch by Marcum on a nicely thrown pass by AJ Skoog, it was an 11-yard run from Bryant to put the Eagles up 21-0 with 1:03 left in the quarter.

The second quarter had 9:2 left when Stefon Hamerling hauled in a 32-yard catch. The six-play, 60-yard drive came to a climax on a 1-yard blast by Brtant to make this a 28-0 game with 7:51 left in the half.

The Eagles used a Skoog 33-yard pass to Brtyant to set up the next Eagles score, and that came on a 3-yard run from Jordan Jacobson to make this a 35-0 game with 2:58 left in the half.

Just thirty-two seconds later, the Eagles offense was back at it, with Byrant picking up 18 yards. The three-play, 46-yard drive ended on a 28-yard catch by the soft-handed Marcum to put the Eagles up 41-0.

With the running clock going the entire second half, there was just one score, and that came on a 9-yard touchdown catch by Lincoln Womack with Truett Furniss doing the trowing, making this a 47-0 game.

The fourth quarter brought two nice defensive plays. Cameron Leggett would get Knights ball carrier Noah Smith for a loss of six. Then the Knights Parker Saxon pounced on an Eagles fumble.

2024 With Head Coach Jake Heigel from Brockway High School, PA.

  Jake Heigel Brockway High  Head Football Coach Who was the best player you have ever coached against, and what team did he play for? Carson Neely, Port Allegany  Looking back from day one as a coach up to the present, what have been the low and high points of your coaching career? 2020 was a rough first year. We had maybe 15 kids on the roster in preseason sometime in late June. We ended up with probably 6 starters who had never played football in their lives, which isn’t exactly a recipe for success! I was also ejected from our game against Cowanesque Valley. We lost to DuBois 49-0 to end the difficult season... The future did not look so bright. - But fast forward to 2022, where we won our first playoff game 62-6. Followed that up with a win against the reigning western finals champion, Redbank Valley, in a 7-3 fist fight to advance to the D9 championship. In 2023, we won an overtime thriller against DuBois Area 14–13, avenging a 1-point loss at the 1-yard line the year prior.

Small school football

  As the 2024 football season approaches, I want to say thank you to all of the players, coaches, cheerleaders, band members, officials, and all of the school staff for the good times you are about to give thousands of fans this year. As a fan and a person who covers games, I often get asked why I go to as many smaller school games as I do, and I always tell those asking that there is something special about driving into a small town or village and seeing signs wishing the team well. The crowds might not be as large as the bigger school games, but to a certain extent, they are more into it. I believe that is because almost everyone knows everyone, and it is really a community by itself. The players put their pads on the same as the players at the bigger schools, and they, as with the bigger schools, give it their all as much as they can. The biggest difference some will say is talent; others will say size and speed; but more often than not, at a small school, most of the players are
