Kelly/Hamshire-Fannett Recap

[Coach Schrapps]

The Kelly Bulldogs prevailed 41-24 tonight, but it wasn't smooth sailing for awhile. The Bulldogs started the game flat and it took them sometime to get the engine running on all cylinders. The first half was a story of field position as Hamshire started drives close to the 50 several times. On the other hand Kelly started several drives around their own 20. The Kelly offense looked good with Eddins connecting with Schrapps for 2 first half touchdowns. The defense took a little more time to settle into the game. The score at halftime was 24-19 Hamshire Fannett. The second half provided what could be the best half of football Kelly has played all season. The Bulldogs held tough on defense forcing the Longhorns to several three and outs. The Kelly offense exploded for 22 points in about 14 minutes. It really was a team effort on offense with everyone contributing. Barber added a long touchdown run in the half, Schrapps another touchdown, Klein a big catch in the red zone, and Peyton making a tough catch to move the chains. The backbreaking drive in this game came with about 10 minutes left in the game. Kelly started around their own 10 yard line and methodically moved the ball down the field chewing close to 8 minutes of clock off. No points would come but the damage was done as their was just no time for the Longhorns to mount a comeback. Trent Almond sealed the game for the Bulldogs with an interception that allowed the Bulldogs to kneel the ball and end the game.

The Bulldogs will open district play next week against Houston Christian @ Kelly at 7:30 pm.

you forgot to mention the bad calls made by the fat ref in the white cap whom didn't have a clue as to what to call. He held his whistle several times then call unsportsman like conduct conduct on us for hitting late. Not making excuses but the calls were questionable. That really put the guys down. 

[Coach Schrapps]

I really think the refs were a wash both ways. Pass interference flag that was picked up was definitely a flag I was standing two feet away from the play and the pass interference flag on Cook was a horrible call. There were some bad calls both ways.
