expect in this rivalry today but just to kind of briefly tell you how these teams got here we mentioned that you can still record out the window but if you want to know the records both teams come into this game four and six they could take a slightly different route of getting here rather town actually last year coming  seven in five season when they reached the they were a division five north champions they were one game shy of reaching did the d five super bowl they came back to shore with only eight seniors there when they started the year one in six including a win five of the middlesex league freedom division white jerseys with the black pants and the red helmets on the belmont side every run is in good health and of course the marauders this year are as we said made the m i a playoffs for the first time in school history course this new playoff structures only been in place since two thousand and thirteen but field getting ready to run through the banter here and being led by their other five senior captain so i got the pleasure to meet we hope you check out the latest  coach q and the five senior captains julie o'connell jarrett edwards michael ham simpson kilian and chick parsons and a team that is very deep in seniors as a matter of fact in fact maybe it's going to be done mt senior experience i mean this was maroon outfits with the other white numerous other movie helmets waters appear to be getting ready to receive on the near side is number twenty six senior joel fauci and the far side number twenty three senior a manual clark by the way with two kickoff returns for touchdowns this year it is the first time in the basically runs the last twenty or so yards for the touchdown so once again camaro to kick off from the forty and again it's a fantasy near side emmanuel clarke for our side back deep for a bad i will see how far this before kickoff like this is this feels like it could be the year for the writers they made the playoffs for the first time in school history and actually this watertown seen even if they win today they're going to shoot their first losing record in ten years so this was felt like this was the year and  at in the first period and the matter fans here at harris field are absolutely stunned as i'm sure they are on the sideline and right here and right here behind the mixture we are certainly this was not the open that we envision for this game and so i really think the strategy is going to be on this well it's probably the same it'll be command and just drilling it into the ground and seeing if you can kick it off and up man and maybe you know it's as was the last kick up maybe a recovered himself again hundred with the plane and coach young human cast time out very smartly right here because things could really get out of here and here in a hurry right now coach you've got to get at least players back get their heads right back in this game right now i mean i've never seen anything like this i've never seen a stat of a football game like this this is just this is unbelievable you know as we said this is been a gallon year for a town football they're going to have their first losing record since two thousand and eight thirteen seconds but again i think she probably told his guys you know we're coming to this game underdogs we did make the playoffs this year you know we struggled you know we've won three in a row vs none playoff competition but you know i think they kind of  i bet you bill not you and this is the year because they made the playoffs feeling confident they're feeling good so he came in probably tried to play the big chip on the shoulder you know we're going under we're going to go to their place and just try just crazy strategy something that i'm sure they haven't employed all year maybe the weather conditions are into a very stiff breeze but i was going to suggest as he still might want to kick it because watertown players as they receive just check i'm going to be staring right into the bright sun right as that is nearly a cloud out here today pretty much blue skies  at that point and i'm an emphatic i think you might have a chance so you have a chance on that one but they have to pay attention to that kid number twenty one you have to know where he as i have times on the phone and i'm sure that something coached you in the entire high coaching staff a pounded into these players heads for the last you know m s two weeks leading up to this game i mean come on it is the best play week we mentioned early on he's been hobbled for most of the season by him but he's feeling much better now that german is going to cause no number this yards and and kill him i was pregnant there yeah if they can just keep those drag on and take some time off the clock obviously if you get it wrong and you want to take some time out the clock and get to some fight back in this football game for the second quarter that's at the thirty possibly do something here on third and seven and of course given this field position this is an area you might want to think about for down territory we'll wait and see what the writers do third and seven they have to get to watertown forty for a first down joseph gets the handoff and it does not he will not make  and prevent them from getting the corner well it's also because come out of such a dangerous weapon and employ that fake that the marauders have to respect the kimono could get the ball second down hand off up the middle that was not come are carrying the body think it might have been the new key and again number twenty two and had a pretty good chance of that one down and shattered i'm sure maybe it feels that way to some of the players he is mcdermott over the use of the fat looking for come out of the passes incomplete i guess that throw out a little bit so i'd have the intended target of the second down a little bit but take a time out when the quarters over the quarters not over they just reset that time so there are still ten seconds remaining in his fourth down and fourth and thirteen with the bat the forty five i don't not really sure why watertown would want to go for this being his back so he could probably boom one if you know just a little air under it and that would be the you want to get a game of field position right now they've got the twenty to six lead in the closing seconds of the opening quarter of and it is a come  and that's the reason why your school after the first eleven minutes is watertown twenty in belmont six you're on the ninety seventh edition of the belmont watertown game happy thanksgiving welcome to you are a live broadcast if you are watching us live here on thanksgiving day if you coldest game in the history of the robbery thank you joe sixteen degrees the official temperature but again that doesn't even factor in the wind chill winds gusting up to twenty and twenty five miles an hour here on this thanksgiving morning writers are going to start to strive first intent at their own three yard they could put a decent drive together here and they can you know pop some points in here and in the second quarter i mean it's amazing that belmont still has a chance to get it back into this football and really it's not there are only two scores down there who have nothing better right now all joseph a senior this will be his last high school football game i ran for nearly six hundred fifty yards on the season coming into the game and earlier today scored his tenth rushing touch your face to try to pass the ball because the ball can kind of fly on passes when the woods at your back o'connell will get the carry on second down we'll pick up close to his season average per carry a bring up a third in about five so again it is joseph the deep back of the i'll get the handoff from arnaud and joseph is going to be close but i think a little bit short of the first down he tried to get to the twenty five and got pushed back actually to get to the twenty four time span here yeah to be a really generous one of the writers are not getting it it's going to be fourth and two the last of the twenty six may be less than two might be a short two but it's definitely fourth down and i think definitely  from his forty with the wind at his back he should be able to boom this one and you know i think tat i think that's a testament to the coaching staff because it would have been easy to look at that point of not for two minutes going in the first period and you think oh no here we go know whatever was said at that point i mean he probably just told all these guys take a deep breath i know i know what oxygen is a little limited but take a deep breath nonetheless and right now we can see holding this down for is mcdermott on a second down in the german will be close to the first down marker and then get pushed back by a maroon swarm yeah i think we're out of time and i was just trying to establish a running game you know have a great running back and come  he's shown that he's pretty good in cat in the basket and i think that just trying to get some points at the end of the first half i just team weapons much time as they can because it was shell shocked as barrow's in the first two minutes i think we're out of town is that right now because they just gave up twenty points you know in less than a current threat is going to be tied at twenty unanswered points down for the marauders tying up this ball game of course so the watertown writers have been playing this entire game under canadian touched on when it was wide open and another one where the bell was a little bit i'm to throw in a caller was able to break it up but you still have to pay attention to twenty one well exactly and the marauders defense has to respect him which i think then allows other guys to create space he's known by his teammates and segues is well and got see what need him along with the other four senior captains for our right annual let turkey day you know view with the captain's really good kid actually someone who started out as a as a big defensive player but this year is really enjoyed playing off and supplying as well and also a star on the rugby team which really comes in handy when you're trying to most clock is still running we're down almost close to a minute to go here in the first half it's going to be forced down in less than a yard so once again that town is now open for three converting on third down in this game i original just cut through the wind right and you can float it up there are certainly keep an eye on monday camara this play number twenty one for watertown and you can see him right now he is looks like he's going to line up in the  watertown recovered anyway again it's a moot point because we have reached halftime here in the ninety seventh edition of belmont to watch out of two teams that came into the game  covered the for their college halftime i had a yeah so two teams that had even identical form and six records coming into this game couldn't play them or even first half when you look at the school twenty twenty although joe that hardly tells the entire story of this third quarter which actually is again kicking off from left to right four times we've seen the receiving team fumble or have problems within a course unfortunately three of those times it was bellemont good news for a listening that is going pat of those bad on a program for thirteen years now but amazing he's doing a great job handling the router flag with a lot of pride today and deservedly so how the writers have fought back in this game from a twenty nothing deficit to draw even here in the third quarter mcdermott is going to well he was back to throw he's going to keep himself well go to the far side get a gain of maybe two or three yards he's knocked out of bounds over there seems to gary and amongst the attackers along with the playing more often states year as opposed to defense but he's having a really big game defensively here and this morning at harris field in the ninety seventh version of the time out watertown game down in the palace caught i'm going to see that might be com that would be brett sutherland and she picks up watertown's first first down on a third down conversion in this game it comes with a thirteen to go in the third quarter so you know how you assume that a thrown off and said come out in the first quarter and the third quarter on the first possession and then moving the bed down the field i remember twenty one i don't think america touched the ball in his stride no no he hasn't we know mcdermott's a quitter because last year he set a school record for passing yards almost two thousand yards passing the only slowly make their way in here i think they tried to get here as late as they possibly could to minimize the of the frost exposure unfortunately the cold temperatures are kept the bad not marching band for being here which would add another layer to our to the fun of this game is a little pass out to try when he would be forty five yards watertown's gone through several kickers this season we're seeing come out to do most of the kicking today i don't know even with the wind at his back to want to try when that long although as i look at the flagpole the window seems to be swirling a little more than it did in the first i think this is a safer place than trying to kick a field goal from this far out it's going to be fourth and nine looks like the watertown have to get to the seventeen of belmont to pick up a first down timeouts you talk about the two coaches in this rivalry joe johns because he's in his twelfth season the first five years he coached this game he was coming up on the short end of the score the last six years he's been a winner coach john human in his fifth you're still trying to taste victory you know the first time in the other belmont watertower rivalry which i know coach q said back in year one it's been a goal every year they have three big goals this year they finally accomplish one of those goals to make the playoffs and of course time but they still haven't been watertown in the coach q iran now rushes on the season and he's i think that's at least a third kerry in this game so obviously the coaching staff likes what they've seen from francis of course he is part of their future you're going to be vying for that top running back of the roof to hang on to the barrel is going to you know end up winning the game and now you see this is what's happening here in the second half o'connell with about six yards on i carry again right close to his average yards per carry on the season field he doesn't the corner that's a but you know what this still will be a record setting dates or rooms of temperature this is the the coldest game ever in the history of this rivalry because i think any low temperatures we're approaching today or high temperatures i should say you know speaking of zero you go back in the history of the previous ninety six or ninety six games of the series and you've got thirty times one of these schools are shut out the other watertown has sixteen shout outs a belmont their last sack mcdermott a couple times couple stop trying the line of scrimmage and so this defense has to continue to play like this this is a moronic team and the coach young human hero that is really kind of broken all sorts of barriers to sure the first one was breaking through making the  playoffs for the first time which that which they did this season if they win this game it'll be the first win over watertown since a coach who was taken over and also the five wins at the briers can win their fifteen of the season today that would also be their most when  they're in the coach q era the seniors have never had a five win season and coach coming into this game with a seven hundred thirty seven record three in eight four and seven four and seven last year to win nine and this year coming in at four and six and trying to again just add out you know get that win against watertown you know a girl that has been in the works for five years and they're still waiting for it but this is a team that is one of the things we've mentioned all your bottom and it's really been on display here on this thanksgiving day there was illian see you know again kind of just taken a deep breath after falling behind twenty nothing so quickly in this game and and here we have this kick off and this is the direction of that twenty by a lot of them really you could argue they're playing great the whole you got ok yes there was a place there that the defense kind of broke down but a lot of those plays were you know a lot of all those drives were started because of the onside kick the special teams kind of put the team in the bama defense was focusing on him and you don't have someone shadowing him or what but it seems like he should be involved more would agree and in fact he maybe will be here down the stretch as just this year well it's actually a pass in the flat by mcdermott to number eighteen ball is spotted it watertown so just inside their forty five and they will know you got a bounce of the clock has stopped momentarily with nine forty three to go a big third down play half of the in watertown is i believe again anecdotally speaking i think one for four on third down attempts here today medupi will get this one however as he gets all the way up close to midfield he'll be driven back but coach the underclassman underclassman know it's a short kick and it will basically a die on the forty six yard by the belmont so the riders with excellent field position and only six fifty three to go and it's the right i've never seen anything like that before and all the years of watching football on o'connell is the deep back and he will take the handoff from everyone on first down and killing o'connell gets close to midfield for a gain of about four three this running game just keeps turning up the ads that can win the fight better between the tackles that of it's not there between the tackles they bounce an outside and get back have some kind of cramping on the sideline stretched out by the medical staff everyone is about his have got to be pretty tight on a day like this if the wind chills approaching zero here's the handoff record joseph on second down he'll get to the line of scrimmage but that's don't know if he was the one who recovered the fumble but but someone got in there you could see all the water temp players motioning and now they've got the bad guy bounce forty nine yard line with exactly six minutes to go trailing by six and the defense once again this one up and win their forty fourth game of all time against the watertown raiders that was again chad francis the future of belmont running gets the handoff he'll check back out and the one of the seniors will check in really owns the rivalry there for a good quarter century it's only in the last six years that watertown their players stepped up right and they've been a good team we mentioned this is going to be the first year that it a losing record in ten years been a while for coach so he gets the glory cheerleader kind of got the glory earlier too big words for each of them here on this close outriders the writers holding on to that six point lead into thirty two to go watertown well put another time out it's going to be interesting to see the final sta this around to get the victory the forty fourth time for the routers in their series against ladder town they still trail the all time series but none of that matters because it's the first win in seven years on the coaching staff and the
