crew saying a happy first day to you many high school games across eastern mass are celebrating thursday night lights this weekend to young kapoor and for all our viewers observing the high holiday in conjunction with russia seana happy new year jim despite playing hard in the first three weeks  it is the rockets and they after winning their first two non league games coming to this want to to win one and here's fitzgerald george mitchell the quarterback is back to throw but is get a lot of time and he is taken down for a sack by a couple of rockets yeah georgia is going to have to maybe think about getting the ball out faster maybe a quick two step drop in and out if anyone can do that it would be george fitzgerald as a coach q has said during our weekly talks with him that he is he's got that quick release going for him and fitzgerald on the season is completed exactly fifty percent of his passes over the first three weeks thirty nine of seventy eight for four hundred sixty five yards three touchdowns and one interception for the senior and he is in the shock and he's going to hand it off this time inside it's tyler reynolds and reynolds gets up to about the twenty five yard line for a gain of about a yard actually because the original line of scrimmage was the twenty four so it's a gain of one to bring up thirty nine for belmont yeah i think he picked up about five or six yards and they got back to a respectable thirty eight or shout marauders moving from right to left wearing course the al maroon jerseys and helmets and there is a pretty strong breeze blowing as we look at the flag pole directly behind the teams and it is blowing from left to right as you're watching our broadcast and now here on third down it will be fitzgerald rolling out to the left he's going to look for jake pollock in the pass is high pollock well to fended and the past goes incomplete and so the riders with a very quick three and out here to start the ball game and one of the things jim as writers have had trouble starting in their first three side keeping it away from number twenty one jack geiger one of reading street senior captain jim last year in the game a good reading tiger had a seventy five yard punt return for a touchdown and he actually had a kickoff return for a touchdown this see wow all right that was a great place of the injured matt panna cotta listen here's the handoff and it goes to guy gardner's in the open field and he's got one made the beat and now he goes down the sideline to jack geiger senior captain boy he's got speed and he was rockets in rushing yardage three hundred sixty two you can just add another sixty six yards to that and his fifty ninth carry of the season geiger also with four receptions for seventy eight yards coming into typical frame of a place kicker so now with a quarterback on the hold in the pick was up a good we're just three minutes or correct at two minutes i forget there are eleven that if i school boards a lead two minutes we're two minutes into our football game tonight and reading is on top seven nothing each team having had a possession that's an easy a drive to i guess recap there are a g m one play sixty six yards yeah you're off to the races again coming into the game tonight with averaging over six yards a carry and we talked about  was off to the races and he showed some pretty good speed there no question and we told you he had the punt return for a touchdown last year that was why i didn't cadigan when the writers had to punt was kind of specifically looking to keep it away from line and we'll see if the rogers can get something a stablish your first last week in their first six possessions writers only gained about fifty yards of office and it wasn't until their final two times with the ball sensibly that they were able to march down the field the two long sustaining scoring drives that ended in touchdowns actually one of them was a relatively short drive because tyler read about a seventy seven yard touchdown run on the first play but then later in the fourth quarter of the game last week  rogers had a ten minute drive now here's a decent first down and he gets maybe a yard or two and then he has stood up again reading they are out with some great defensive pursuit and making things difficult for decent first down run far side that's will well it and l it's got a first down just to from our mouths to the players down on the field the riders move the ball forward their first first down of the game actually interesting lee enough the that's the first first out of the game for either receptions and that was his thirteenth catch of the year as well he and fitzgerald work well together as of course does jake pollack who leads the team pollock with nineteen receptions of the first three weeks that's just one behind all of the catch he had last year when he led the team years tyler reynolds on first down and he's across the forty five up to about the forty six yard line for again oh but watches are going to call it for reynolds finding a little bit of a hole they are up the middle yeah that's what they need they need to get  some positive yards on first down so that they can get into third and short situations and not be caught in those third and long terrible holes that they found themselves and we we mentioned tyler reynolds a senior leading the marauders in rushing out thanks that seventy seven yard touchdown run a week ago now here's a decent second down and out of the plus right of the middle and gets the first down he's into reading territory as are the writers for the first time here tonight at the reading forty six yard line well there's the a little bit better certainly much better than on their first possession is l against five yeah it was a nice play they used that a bunch of times this year and it looks like reading is off the ball by quite a bit so that maybe the n short you've got many more options here than in third and long situations so be interesting to see what they dial up here for a call third and a wong one on rogers have to get the ball inside the reading thirty six for first down and rattled scott out of a crowd of defenders and sneaks forward for a few more yards down to the twenty five yard line marauders are mixing it up here between the pass and run jim and yeah things are starting to click here and it's nice to see this happening the first quarter of a game for the first time this season absolutely i mean it's giving them confidence and that grows and they're mixing between the pass in the run and keeping reading the  expect here reading with your standard four three scheme for coach fiore on the defensive side now here is fitzgerald that he is looking for pollock is man in the end zone and great play altogether george fitzgerald had plenty of time on fits of line creating that time in the bowl i think jake was double team there and i think he was interfered but he still found a way here in the opening quarter we are tied at seven as the riders march about sixty five yards downfield there are no culminating with that's a touchdown pass and didn't get to hear this last week with the band missing but the belmont marching band leading another rousing rendition of the brass but hands on that means that were others have made it into the end zone yeah that was that was about most a five minute drive a little minute a little bit under that started out in the yard so seventy two yards it started out on the twenty eighth and finished up trying to remember how long the touchdown pass was where they were about the twenty three twenty five yard line i think twenty two maybe two yeah that might be right a swift kick by cadigan it's taken by one of the way the up man and yeah nice tackle there for the marauders on special teams so that might have been aided in self the kicker that made that tackle well as coach q has said tiger well it cuts back he is still on his feet i play here full make sure he gets tackled and he finally does and credit adam d's coming out of the the linebacker spot to help make the tackle is going to be a first down for reading actually their first first going to get the going to get into brodeur territory and pick up probably about five yards yeah but i like the i like the the swarming gang tackling belmont they continued down the line there they fought off some blocks and then they had multiple guys down there ready for the tackle and you can't just have one guy making a tackle need to have two or three possibly be it one misses second guy things reading comes into this game having scored thirteen touchdowns and p was responsible for nine of those they are there out of regular starting quarterback here's geiger once again fouled out for offensive plays they've all been a handoff to geiger jack either a stop go by the rogers defensively again picking up maybe only a yard or two it's going to bring up third down really quick and pan accomplice he came into the game came into tonight chris he's not here tonight but he ran for seven touchdowns and reading's first three games also passed for two touchdowns so that's up that's a big loss for reading that yeah that maybe the writers could take advantage of the years it just i don't know why we didn't get any of the extent of the injury but said well actually did have to come into last week's game against let's to be one for three passing third and six here for reading at the belmont forty nine yard line and again this time it's going to be a keeper to enter around it's john's m r a and some are a still trying to move forward i think he's going to be a little short of the first down that was a number eight for the point a game here for the belmont the fence yes let's see if they can make the stop here on the middle down they go right to and it takes will be a first down i believe that that was geiger once again and geiger just drives forward behind his office of wine and reading always had a strong line and over the years jim and they once again john fiore squad has that that powerful line that helps make all those running backs look so good they get the ball down to the belmont forty two yeah that was a nice play good football there here comes a first in ten once again well much use in the clock up to i like this which you know you want to shorten the game so here out of the shotgun steps in l a hands off the geiger again  you guys in on the tackle there including a caleb headman and will was on a pick up of about five to the thirty eight yard line yeah i think caleb moved from the inside middle linebacker position quarter as the ball is spotted at the belmont thirty four a yard line a very fast moving first quarter but a good one for the riders this again not the first time this season the riders find themselves tied at the end of a quarter of play to seven seven is we get ready to start quarter number two when the winds picking up here at harris field as you can see by the the officials well it's it looks like it's shifted a bit it was coming from one  in the new press box with a pretty cool it is very cool it's seventeen years in the making but hey you know at least it is here and we are we are grateful to have a we certainly were for the framingham game when it was that first play from scrimmage for the reading rockets which resulted in the sixty secured jack geiger touchdown run yours geiger again though and giger is going to have the first down and then bring some down from behind or i should check that actually ryan newman but not be been the workhorse at least in terms of carrying a ball for reading so i think marauders need to find a way to minimize when he's going to do terms of the yardage on and just try to they're not going to stop every play but just minimize the long runs i'll be curious to see how much this quarterbacks adela is going to try to throw tonight the right now another end around play to tomorrow and he's going to get some some positive yardage down inside the the belmont thirty tomorrow he came into the game with just two carries in the already has two in this game the is a junior listed on our roster as a junior running back number one john tomorrow yeah i think that was said del home over there making a nice play  a gain of three on that play so second and seven for reading and this time said i was going to keep it himself go up the middle and he's going to have the first down finally brought down but not before getting inside t so here we go it's another first down for the rockets who've been moving the ball here starting to stride back on their own thirty two yard line snell in the shotgun and he'll hand off a giger this time  finding a nice hole there to the right of his center and henman brings him down from behind but in positive yardage for reading we talked about geiger coming into the game averaging over six yards a carry in gets and i think about that number the first down marauders up front looking at the front of their a defensive line of course you've got a head man in new know over there along with conor shea back to where a number fifty once again shout out to his mom karen who is working in the tonight meanwhile giger just finds a huge hole on the left side and runs into the end zone untouched that is an eighteen yard touchdown run for jack geiger and his second score of this game  this said this drive started at the thirty two yard line way back in the four o two minute mark of the first quarter that was all of your seven minute drive there's a pitch going nowhere yeah he reverses yeah and they're going to get the two unfortunate sosa nella picks up the two i don't so david did they have a kicker out there i was actually had my head turned for a second they didn't have the kicker out there that was outside two point play i believe it was designed to go to the right side and head it and it covered but interesting you know it obviously you know one scored game going for the two there but so they do come in touchdowns right but i think belmont wants the ball here because they they have confidence they saw what they did in that last drive and i think that they're going to position here where they want the ball and they want to go after reading again absolutely marauders looking very good on that previous drive to where they marched seventy two yards in about a little under four minutes the swift kick will be picked up and quickly down to gees and jim i'm with you it's sometimes hard when they have their when you don't see the direct number it is a little difficult sometimes trying to pick up some of these numbers on the field but we had the screens in here  for a good reason but i find it they are a little harder to see takes it will get you does take a little getting used to you're going to start to drive first and ten at their own twenty five yard line with eight fifty seven to flat and they gain actually i guess they don't really game very much that time and very minimal game really came up made a nice play there will give them a yard so second down and nine but  the thirty five up to the thirty eight yard line great running in some of great blocking to up front again folks like henman and noone up there to help spring dece for the first down run yeah that was solid  it was thrown very early in that plane it was thrown right at the office of line and that's the game's first penalty at seventeen to go in a bit of a an issue this year for belmont number of downfield and maybe maybe they needed have somebody stay back and i would have to think it would've been one of the linemen i guess yeah and he anyway that's going to be first and to fifteen here probably a little bit more reynolds on the first down  carry and didn't have the ball for very long before he was met by three defenders for the rockets and they bring him down for a short ga yes so now who are in this situation here where they've got to pick up if they can and five or six yards maybe even ten yards on second down so that they at least have a chance on third down and where they have the option to run or throw and not be predictable the season he gets out of bounds and it will be a manageable third down for the marauders third down about eight ball spot at the thirty nine yard one clock stops at seven eleven the go here in the second quarter good pursuit there are good throw but ready came over quickly to minimize the extra yards they want to hear i think for belmont because they don't want to punt the ball twenty two fifty lb range none of them are that tall so they're kind of just wide bodies that sort of clog up those those lanes for for the skill players to try to get your sister cheryl's second down there was pressure is going to get rid of it i was like throw downfield that i think we're going to maybe get an interference call on the reading was elec like forced out of bounds because ellen pollock were in that area and what was the intended receiver looked to me like there was maybe a defensive holding there and actually like you said there was pressure for children to try to get rid of the ball and the writers kind of catch a break there because reading had the pressure that show was just trying to throw it away and instead it looks like that what's going to get a first down out of this i believe i think it's automatic first think that they felt maybe the penalty was better than letting them catch the ball in advance of for the belmont taking their first time out here of the this first half i believe what they get five timeouts a half so  hold on to the ball here go down and score then we've got ourselves a very close game i think they want to give them a lot of clock here if they can just keep the ball away from reading and again shortly speaking of the multisport athletes th apology and there's pollack using those long arms of that that six five frame to the fullest and gets out of bounds and picks up positive yardage on the first down catch yeah well jake is not only good size and he's got these got to the wingspan but he's got some sneaky speed so he when he cuts on the ball he can break away and you know get that separation and george fitzgerald i think is having a great first half he absolutely is that's i think only the second catch not for pot the other course being the big touchdown now a handoff to reynolds on first or second in five and reynolds moves forward right behind is center ryan newman one of the senior captains reynolds himself also a senior captain and the two combined to pick up some positive you are go leading tackler on the season for reading making a stop and he is a yard short and let's see i do not see cadigan coming out on the field with the wing kind of swirling around right now looking at that flag pole so if it is going to be a fourth down yeah you know what you like a little protection from the elements for sure you know i'll be the first to admit i'm a wasp i need that protection well you know right got to be able to get through the whole game so that this is a big part of the referee calling holding on the off chance and the holding obviously wasn't even that effective because reynolds was tackled in the backfield so it will be a turnover on downs for the marauders and redding taking over at their own thirty one with four forty one to go here till half time aside from the swirling window it is a beautiful evening here the humidity which had been plaguing this plaguing from the northeast for the better part of several days broke him and it feels very fall like this evening as it should he we approach the first of october and it feels like football weather which is of course what we certainly want here tonight here in harris field reading starting this dry first to ten and said i was going to pitch it over to geiger geiger and there's a flag down at the line of scrimmage so we'll see if this comes back reynolds forces geiger out of bounds tiger does pick up the first down but let's wait for the flag i think i was a forward lateral i thought the ball was pitched forward in my opinion oh really well then a bad angle here wait and see what the officials it's going to go walk and backwards you did i see the of did i see the ref actually make a signal yet i'm kind of waiting for that screens and short stuff so we'll see there's a handoff geiger and he cuts back up by congress got some great cutting ability i've seen that here in the early going again and get some gets some positive yardage where maybe another running back would have failed that's yeah yard line to work keep this drive going with three and a half minutes to go clock running until halftime it is reading fifteen and belmont seven in this middle sexily battle both teams looking for their first little sexily to liberty division w short winery and it is rolling in and it will be a downed as i saw del home back on the return but the ball never got to him in the riders will start to strive for their own thirty four yard line with two fifty nine to go here in the first half of the writers i believe still have three timeouts remaining so certainly plenty of time for the marauders to go down the field and potentially tie up a ballgame absolutely this is this is this post but you want to be in when you're getting ready early in the season the situations where you've got three minutes you've got you've got to go about seventy yards or less sixty sixty six yards but at least move the ball down there and have a chance at scoring points when the marauders play the rockets up in a reading last kept it very close for a half against reading last year before the rockets pulled away and won that game forty seven to twenty one course the twenty one points and sported writing less your first time in the coach q regime rogers had scored points against reading and that was the third time of playing ball in there that really only the receiver can catch and very accurate first down for a plate right at midfield clock running one forty three one forty two years fitzgerald bakkies got time comes near side it's complete to pollock pollock gets out of bounds to stop the clock forced out there by joe mari and gain of about eight yards and the clock stops with one thirty four to go here in the half yet another of line is is really giving george here is how again you go in your side here to l l it's got the first down and again gets out of clowns a good play calling here very effective brothers picking up yardage but also being able to get out of bounds and stop the clock one twenty eight remaining jake parsons also i think over there on  out here yeah and they will with fifty four seconds one fifty three actually on the second just ticked off and we'll see where they're spotting that i don't know how to be for the first down others again looking really good on this drive kid mixing it up you know you know use the sideline use in the middle run pass again it's just it's nice to see this diverse off and said again you know we keep you know we keep talking about george still kind of being in the control first wow big run for d c that was a huge hole washington riders will like to take a thirty second time out here which i think gives them just one more here in this first half as i think they want to they don't want to just have  clock start up immediately after the chains have been moved is going to be first in the bowl and the ball's at the eight yard line adam's eyes must have been so big when he saw that hole and all the said there wasn't a ready defender within five yards of  or next to fitzgerald kind of flanking him fitzgerald looks he's back to throw a little bit of pressure behind him throws and some good coverage in the end zone the ball will be incomplete but shell kind of forced a throw that away was intended for pollock but there were a lot of white shirts there in close coverage we have three seconds now to go until halftime i mean george you know maybe here heard the footsteps or whatever but he was able to roll out and if it's not there don't force it throw it away  the half time thinking that we've got a chance of not only competing in the second hand we have a chance of winning the absolutely rogers capping off a sixty four yard drive there should say sixty six yard drive it started their own thirty four right so we had reading does have a lot of time outs lots of they want to try something but this goes back to what i was saying on the previous reading dr jim is we just don't know what signals got for an arm and yes i mean how you don't really have a lot of time to work with even with all the time outs i mean you know screen pass would take coaching staff has got to be very impressed with what they've seen from their team tonight in the first twenty two minutes a great back and forth game and right now rodgers right in it as we reach half time here the junior and so reading will start off the second half and it looks like they will start it at the forty two here as we get ready to begin play and quarter number three reading fifteen belmont just as he began the ball game or at the first off it's a possession for reading there we go again jack geiger and hold off on those upsets for a moment here as a fifty eight yard touchdown run for geiger and on readings first off a play in the first half he ran for sixty six in a touchdown that is geiger's third touchdown of this game and it extends the reading lead thirty seconds into the third quarter well that was not what they were looking to start out defensively here i was in second hand so they've got to just put it behind them to kick off come right back down an answer giger it out with three rushing touchdowns in this game giving him five on the season as the extra point by yandell is up and good so again just thirty seconds in to the second half and it is reading twenty two and belmont fourteen geiger just on his touchdown runs alone in this game sixty six fifty eight and twelve yards so quick math there that's one hundred thirty six yards just those three carries but i can tell you he's got considerably more than that because a geiger heavily on their route one of their senior captains jack geiger and we've seen his tremendous speed they use him on kickoff and punt returns as well and right there fifty eight yards to a page or so for the you know first play of each half defensively tiger able to get a big run and now o'connell with a little problem on the kickoff and reading is there to swarm him in the marauders are going to be starting to strive deep in their own territory season with the marauders would be starting a lot of dr stephen their own territory they haven't done so that much today they're two scoring drives in this game were of a seventy two when sixty six yards and two touchdown passes for fits your the goes back to the air again far so it'll be second down and ten glad you could join us here on b h a sports t v s exclusive coverage of marauders of our city football tabone here is along with jim reynolds here in the booth and our entire hardworking crew our camera folks tonight jack second catch of the season what a presence by george fitzgerald he could look to me like he was going to take off and run the ball had the presence of mind to see where the line of scrimmage was and not go over that and he out of their own territory where they would have had to been punting into a pretty strong breeze now all of a sudden they got the ball into reading territory and they're in business here with another first down well that was just  thirty yard line i mean i was counting off the seconds there and george had two or five seconds back there and i had several options and actually found a wide open receiver down and that's all that fitzgerald needs is the you know if you like having four or five seconds as an attorney when you've got a quick release the way fitzy does and here is george fitzgerald again rolling out looking and first down he's going to just take it himself he picks up the the picks up some yardage on that first down play boy i thought if he if he really committed he had another five yards inside and that was reynolds that time for a short game on second down so third down and long coming up here for the marauders i think he barely gets in a line of scrimmage there been very effective in the air here so maybe a third and long is just what's a fitzgerald is is looking for as he heads into the huddle getting the play from the coach q on the sideline well that's right they've got some confidence they've been here and they've been successful two touchdown passes so far one to pollack and one to will which is before halftime here he goes deep down the field and that ball is incomplete over on the far side and that was hopkins the intended  motion just threw it over to allen on the sideline and ella gets positive yardage gain of about three here six and a half minutes to go clock running here in the third quarter reading with an eight point lead but the marauders threatening once again and there's the handoff to the comes up a little bit short of the ten yard line which is going to bring up a bottle third and for a long four for belmont and we'll see you know it's not short and it's not long jim for yards you never you know what kind of play to a dial up here but certainly right now that show feeling confident in the passing game so we can expect some sort of a of a pass play here i would think well  this is where the i think the game is going to be won or lost this is the so called red zone and how successful they are will determine how the outcome of this game so they've got to dance here for a wide receivers as well to split  side fitzgerald's going to roll out to the right so good coverage now is going to come back and actually there was no one there through any throw it away that which was the smart thing because reading actually defended that well and so here comes a team cadigan out of the field marauders will attempt a field goal with five thirty two to go here in the third quarter yeah that's i guess that's ok i just got a feeling though we're not going to be running with field goals but at some point you want to walk away from a drive with some success with some point some production a twenty seven yard attempt here comes the snap ball down in catechize kick is up and it is good out right between the uprights dead center and with five thirty to go here in the busy summer participating in some some kicking camps and it was out there kind of showcasing himself but as a coach he says he's kind of a he's a self starter because he needs to be they don't doesn't have a kicking coach which high school teams don't so he goes out there and basically coaches themself and there's no one harder if he as his coach to put it there's no one harder on cadigan than himself if he misses kicks we'll try him from all different angles different positions if he misses them he'll start running his own laps he punishes themself i mean he's probably be a coach who i think  game on after a kickoff that one is scooped up inside the twenty yard line and this time it looks like it might have been samson gary and i think see fifty five among one of the numbers in the air making the stop so five minutes and twenty seconds to go here in the third quarter and the ball will start first and ten reading from their own thirty four and here and we haven't had one of those yet tonight it's been a clean game in that regard as the inside handoff to believe that was geiger runs into the giant junior was a five eleven one eighty they have a list of the on our roster here is a running back wide receiver and linebacker year yeah you go maybe maybe maybe yeah we might is a little slow but he is moving and you know we may see him again before this game is over we've got four thirty eight to go here in the third quarter and redding leading by score twenty two seventeen and we'll have a first down here from their own forty five yard line so again reading coming into this game without a starting quarterback  clock down to four minutes to go here in this third quarter second down and seven coming up in the reading can a really slowing things down rather deliberately actually where they spot it he'll be short less than a yard short big play again for the belmont de trips right yeah and we're going to have a timeout taken by a reading head coach john fiore who's been one over one hundred games at reading i think he's the winningest coach in team history there at readin high school of course you know i recall in games in the old harris field press box twenty years ago when reading was a powerhouse then i mean that the town there i mean between their feeder programs you know of youth programs i mean they just seem to always develop an all powerful team and in two that going to grow maybe they faked the run and then they go to take a shot here we have not seen saddam we go deep this entire game and he won't here either it's a it's a giger he's got the first down so the trips right i don't know him yet marauder should not have been fooled by a troops right they had to figure geiger was probably going to get that ball tyler reynolds does make the tackle but not before geiger picks up a nother reading first down to like this dr going it was a tackle away from going all the way we're going to be careful here and we've already seen diver do that a couple of times in this game breaking off long touchdown runs already is ryan for three touchdowns tonight handoff giger again it's an l r handing off to his  captain tiger with again a probably about four as we're closing in on two minutes to go here on the third quarter in the rockets of a reading high school with a five point lead rotters defense the guys up front like so a big play now because all this and it creates a third and nine and it's you know if they are going to try to run with geiger again on third of the long it certainly don't giger can pick up nine yards rather easily on a run but still you know let's see will be an l l pump fake and now he's going to throw deep for the first time tonight it's incomplete he intended receiver i believe is number seventeen colander ross who also doubles as their punter and in fact he may be asked to do that right now with forty five seconds to go here in the third quarter any a fourth and nine for reading at the belmont thirty eight yard  course again this is the part of the field gym where you know we keep saying it's kind of that no man's land i mean what you know unless you're punter can like get it inside the ten to just go forward here how much field position will weigh better we have a penalty i think on the marauders being on the official is moving was on the far side be a put it easy for us to miss it too as the first down carry results in a very short game so second and nine for the rockets ball just came out before i always say these things come in bunches but i think the ball can still come out again and we did have we did have that fumbled snap earlier on the drive the and as you mentioned earlier jim you're looking for a turnover we haven't we've yet to see one of the games first three quarters but we get ready to start the the fourth quarter in a second and nine for the rockets of the belmont twenty five and i was going to keep it himself and he's going to get inside the twenty so again of about five or six there before the writers finally make the tackle bringing up a third and i would say about three and a big third down again you have to figure what we were just talking about jim this is probably four down territory for reading so if you know iran is going to need to make two big stops here if they want to get the ball back late september and just a great night for football now meanwhile boy i've got about a touchdown saving tackle senility kept in himself and he picks up the first down it's not going to be goal to go for reading down at the or check out it's not going to go there at the belmont twelve but they did pick up the first down nella threw it it's too bad again so close and now it's going to bring up a second in ten of the twelve yard one thousand twenty seven to go here in the fourth quarter and it's going to be a trip to write this time as three receivers lining up to the far side that will hand it off to geiger and great pursuit there by the marauders and ryan noon vs noon with a huge play coming from behind the back pursuit there was able to bring down geiger for a relatively short game and it's going to be third and seven at the ten yard line again as we keep mentioning here jim it's probably four down territory out as far as reading concerned so they're looking at this is they've got two chances to gain seven yards rogers defense these to really step up it's really wants to make the play you know and do you really want to get off your block do you want to get to that backfield do you want to stop you want to be the guy that makes the attack here so that we don't seem to die from reading an empty goal to go with the belmont two yard  tiger already has three touchdowns tonight and it's a tight formation it's going to be a quarterback keep at this time for sun l a but he stumbles and he's not going to get into the end zone i think he might have stepped on one of his own lineman foot there he got kind of tripped up backed up a little as reading you know theoretically it really has three chances to pick up these two yards and but here we go again with the all the receivers out there on the field of course and what could probably throw short passes he wants to in guy geiger gets to the goal line but he's not in there's no yeah the official is not there's no motion or a touchdown call by any of the official so he is short on rodgers making the stop but now the ball is that much closer third down and goal from the half yard line i believe effort there by the the senior captain and he runs in for his fourth touchdown of the night extending the reading lead with six fifty five to go here in the fourth sure did and just like dad earlier today a front blew through and now it is it is definitely a feeling of fall in the air like a once again the rockets are going to go for two here up by a level i'm interesting as an extra point   but it's been all a guy here in this game he has run for four touchdowns in that run for a two point conversion so by himself he has scored twenty six of the readings thirty points and reading  score oh yeah well well something's wrong there wow ok now the extra points up and good will that makes a little more i was wondering why they were going for two when they were up by eleven the score would be correct the score is correct now you know the score i debbie mcdonald our clock operator just of one verify but it is actually reading twenty nine in belmont seventeen i could've sworn on the previous we thought geiger got in on that the third down play from the one yard line i thought  saw the officials signal touchdown they did they did that they took it back they took it back apparently because geiger just ran in for the written down for the touch of i don't know  i think i want to see the film on this one i definitely need to see some replay because i'm not your right quite understood what happened there although bottom line is reading that a touchdown in the week is twelve six fifty three to go all right so so geiger yes too many numbers well right now the number staring the marauders in the faces that they need they will need two touchdowns here in less than seven minutes if they want to pull off the upset in the return will get the ball up to about the twenty seven yard line of the alley on the return it is now six forty six to go marauders need to touch down so so that you mean it off and we saw at the end of the first half jim we're going to be seen at the rest of this game and now it now it's become a seven  fitzgerald here's the inside handoff though to ronald's and again rogers maybe trying to readings defense honest a little surprising they would go to a run on first down where again they're down twelve in the clock running it's going to be a gain of three for reynold's and it's going to bring up second and seven and reynolds actually goes to the bench and i see i'm just looking over here at the  definitely for down territory as far as the belmont often says concerned so here's fitzgerald back to throw to the come near side at what filled out he recovers makes the catch but he's going to be short of the first down as the result of stumbling so now about a fourth and fourth in about a yard they have to get to the thirty eight for a first down ball being spotted right now thirty seven and this is going to be a very quick cuddle i imagine and it is a clock running five forty three you know pick up that france you know if you can get it from a penalty you'll take it yeah i believe that's the first time out the marauders have used here and well sixty four and one right and this is the turning point of the game and it is almost forced to go forward oh yeah absolutely that that's that's a no stop and get the ball back you know it's good times here in harris field because once again the marching band marches on with the press bonanza the wail forever as far as i'm concerned well it's been a long time  this way going into the five minute mark in the fourth quarter against reading they're in a ballgame here they're going to chance to win this game yeah the first time this season for sure jim i mean you know we saw it you know  touchdowns and it's just it's been hard enough for them get back in the game but yeah but here twenty four points which is also a season high in the points department for the marauders yeah which scored five touchdowns over the first three games of the season but they are bidding here for their first win of two thousand and seventeen and also trying to pull off would be a pretty significant upset in the middle sex league i'm sure folks around the league that might be seeing the scores of via social media any updates and here's a squint kick to try to kick it   it is going to be holding on five minutes and five seconds remaining some are still of a chance or especially helped by this holding penalty holding on first down is a killer by the way we probably want to update you on the weather conditions here at harris phyllis it is a beautiful night but there is a bit of a cool breeze blowing and it's gusting at times and it's blowing from left to right as you're watching this broadcast and meaning that if redding would have to pump this way they'd be putting it into a pretty stiff wind yes and that could be a factor here as well first and twenty to back holding penalties by the running off sense of line the second one an absolute killer from their perspective but i think huge great for the marauders the look at the film but i didn't see it but i'm up here and the rest are down there who make it yeah absolutely that negates the sixty five yard touchdown run for geiger which would have been his fifth of the night but instead now it's going to be first in thirty eight back at the twenty five so originally the strike for reading started at the at their own forty five because of the you know the punch kick temp by cadigan that went out of bounds and it looked like the waratahs were going to be in a hole but now reading kind of shooting themselves in the foot here with back maybe about eight or nine yards so i'm going to be second in a long ways to go making the stop clock is running though and that's the other thing the marauders have to be concerned about down by five three forty six forty five and the rockets are just taking their time going to let that play clock bleed right down and then the last snap the ball just a second or two left on it they're going to have to start taking some chances and the fans here they can't ready just get a couple first downs and run out the clock i want i think they need to get the ball they have to think about using their timeouts here as well right now well yeah let's get the whole crowd into this one three twenty to go the clock also stops because the book the penalty which is another break and second in twenty one becomes second and twenty six at readings twenty nine yard one can see john so there was a twenty five yard run on second and twenty six for jack  and it really does feel when you watch geiger run the best thing to do is just force him to the sideline you know what that's do not have them run up the middle because he's got tremendous speed and we've seen it on display several times here tonight trips right there's one receiver to the left here's the handoff giger on third and short he's got the first down and a little bit more into belmont territory to the thirty thirty eight yard line and more importantly the chains moved to eleven left in the riders are going to be forced to start using timeouts and they'll take one right here two minutes eleven seconds remaining here in the fourth quarter belmont trailing by five again we hope you're enjoying this broadcast of rogers football m p h s sports t v tabone ers alongside jim reynolds in our entire crew are our camera folks tonight jack marcos just sports wise well jim a big play here now was certainly a fresh set of downs for reading at the belmont thirty eight i mean i guess for really one more first down for reading is probably going to wrap up this ballgame for them i yeah they're going to have to find a way to strip the ball get the ball out somehow this has been a turnover free game so far so far to this point for wide receivers to split each side and also to call his own number again he's going to run right he's got the first down and he is inside the belmont twenty five yard line sam harris over there finally making the tackle all the chains will move once again and belmont takes another time out here which you are free to go on i want to say belmont might have two timeouts left i think i think they've taken three this  tough spot here and again the star of this game far in a way i would say at this point is going to be the senior captain in running back jack geiger who's scored four touchdowns scored every touchdown for the difference and they both have run pretty effectively five yards pick up at the twenty block has stopped again i think the marauders and again using a timeout here one fifty six remaining ball at the but i mean one of the things that's tough at this stage of the game to jim is you just got a defense that's you know geiger is just you know he makes the defenders miss and then when he when he plows up the middle he's also you know he's wearing the defenders down to it's a yeah he's a take what i believe is their last time out it comes with one forty well the clock's running here i think the clock oh i guess there was no timeout or the writers out of time know they took a timeout i think it's i don't know if we need to we will wait and see here the clock right now is reading at one thirty nine and i believe that will be the last time out for belmont and it will be third in wong five coming up here for running of the belmont twenty i mean him this is this is really here i mean they and in fact what you said i mean the probably even more than just making a stop here but with so little time left they're probably going to need to strip the water try to strip  so we're going to try to put some time back on the clock here riders are going to get a little break out  one forty five yeah i thought that's i was i was kind of going back and forth looking at the clock and how it felt like the marauders were calling i thought it read one forty five when they publish their last time hour or so there we go one forty five to go running belmont twenty four third and along five at the twenty yard line here goes gaga running right he's going to be stopped short brodeur is pursuing and doing it well and for one of the few times tonight they actually bottle up geiger for no  runs the sideline becomes an extra defender for the defense late a game like this because they don't want to go out of bounds and stop the clock and here it is one fifteen one fourteen as we said belmont now is out of timeouts they are there helpless to stop the clock here unless must call is own number but he doesn't he goes to geiger geiger has the first down inside the belmont twenty yard line and that will momentarily stop the clock why they moved the chains fifty five seconds to go but once the clock starts up again reading all have to do is take a knee and they will win their first middle six league contests seconds that pretty much is there you go so one final need for the reading rockets who hold on here tonight without their starting quarterback matt an accomplice they relied very heavily on their one of their senior
