GAME SUMMARY

The toss was won by the Clean Up Crew and they chose to kick. Following the kickoff both teams had a possession, but failed to score. A few plays later, Cobe Walker nailed a pass to Caleb Modawell and he took it to the house for a touchdown. With the 2-point conversion no good, oblivion was in the lead 6-0.

With a little kick-start and an interception by Treyvel Williams, the Clean Up Crew answered back with a short gain by Aiden Pena followed by a touchdown by Treyvel Williams thrown by Austin Pittman. The 2-point conversion was no good and left the score tied up at 6-6. It didn’t take much time for Oblivion to answer with a play that ended in a huge gain by Caleb Modawell.  On the following play Cobe Walker handed off to Jack Field for a big run that gave Oblivion their 2nd score. After a successful 2-point conversion by Kaleb Grabast, the score was 14-6 with Oblivion in the lead.

During the next Clean Up Crew possession, Austin Pittman connected to Treyvel Williams for a touchdown and they followed up with a good 2-point conversion by Ryan Bastardo. Once again, the score was tied, this time 14-14.

Just before the half, Oblivion made another run with a Jack Field rush for a touchdown which he followed up by also scoring the 2-point conversion.

The halftime score left Oblivion leading the Clean Up Crew, 22-14.

In the second half, Oblivion kicked off to the Clean Up Crew. Oblivion held them and scored quickly from a Cobe Walker pass to Caleb Modawell. Braedon Stacks secured a successful 2-point conversion further increasing Oblivion’s lead to 30-14. Continuing their defensive stands, Oblivion ends up with the ball again and handed off to Preston Lawson for a touchdown. The following 2-point conversion attempt was unsuccessful, but Oblivion’s lead was now widened to 36-14.

Oblivion then pulled off quite a surprise with a Cobe Walker onside kick which he successfully recovered himself. Only a few plays later, Cobe connected to Kaleb Grabast for another Oblivion touchdown. The subsequent 2-point conversion was made good by Eric Waldrop. Oblivion was certainly living up to their name with a 44-14 lead at this point in the game.

The Clean Up Crew wasn’t finished yet. Antonio Ybarra came up with a big score from a pass by Austin Pittman. Nolan Stearns got the 2-point conversion and the Clean Up Crew began to close the gap.  With the score 44-22, Oblivion in the lead, and the clock almost expired, the Clean Up Crew forced Oblivion to punt. Treyvel Williams went all the way to the endzone on the return and also scored the following 2-point conversion. Time ran out on the Clean Up Crew’s comeback though, and the game ended with Oblivion winning 44-30.

“What a great game,” said Coggin Intermediate School Coach, Brandon Brown speaking to players on each team. “What an awesome season!”
