Rocktober Football Clips

Another football weekend has come and gone, time to post some more clips from Gabe and Elli. Below is 3 clips from Central's Freshman game with Bettendorf under the lights last Tuesday night at Brady Street Stadium. The Bulldogs got out to a 21-0 lead after the first quarter, but the Blue Devils showed some heart and clawed back into the game. If only they would have had a couple more minutes, the final score was 34-30, they are now 1-6, losing 6 straight. Gabe is #87, he is the tight end blocking on the first play. The second play he runs a pass pattern, the last clip is Gabe trotting off the field following a kickoff return. He played a lot on both sides of the ball in the first quarter, was thrown to once but he couldn't come up with the catch, after that play he didn't play much. Only 2 more games left, at North Scott this week and against West next week.



Elli had her second game this afternoon, it was a stark contrast to last week's 90 degree hot and sunny day, today was cool and rainy. Elli is #34, again was the only girl on the field, her pony tail is the easiest way to tell her apart when viewing the clips. Below Elli lines up at quarterback and takes the snap and sweeps around the corner for a short gain.




Elli is quarterback again in the clip below. It sure makes it easy to film her when she runs toward the camera. It's hard to tell why she stops running, if she step out of bounds or if she gets her flag pulled. Sometimes, I think on her first run in this clip, the refs blew the whistle thinking the ball carrier is down, when in fact the runner may not be. Her coach did a good job this week of having the kids a little bit more organized than their first game. He rotated quarterbacks after each play so more kids got to run with the ball.
