eighteen is in the eighteen belmont high football seniors that were out in the pre game ceremony prior to tonight's game here on seniors night twenty seventh st joe talk about what those young men are feeling before they play what might be their final game of their careers here at harr time it doesn't matter what the wreckage is it doesn't matter what's going on with the team this is it for them this is this they were honored tonight as seniors because they've made the dedication with takes to be part of this football program and to be on it right back because i remember when i to recover that for a washington so be high powered lexington oftens will take to the field first john rogers colorado in five coming into tonight's game to come off a poor performance last week having watched a thirty four fourteen two previously win winchester and it's going to hardly get any easier for him tonight as they take on a five in a lexington team that averages close to forty points a game and led by perhaps the eastern half football player of the year there starting quarterback number nine soule free at work already committed to boston college not for football though he's on a full baseball scholarship so yes he could be the eastern mass football player of the year and it's not even his best sport we're going to see him in action here right off the bat first to ten thirty three and it's going to be a handoff to  lexington used to mass for wall street like now with over eight hundred total yards rushing this year that puts him in the top five in eastern mass d one and the extra point is  don't get something on first time that defense is just going to come after them perhaps the best defense the writers can employ tonight will be to as you said joe keep the off for as long as possible maybe get that running game a sta will keep an eye out tonight for a number forty five ad of the d c did not play well last week suffering from a as coach q put it in a lower body injury i believe it might be his knee and right now it's a kind of a week to week situation he's definitely not gone for the season but there is a question as to how quickly he can come back here is hewitt's can't get it to one more catches it on the bounce and he's going to try to take it over to the far side looking for some blockers then he gets up across the twenty two about the twenty four year i watch where the writers are going to start with ten twelve to go in the first quarter as a senior quarterback george fitzgerald one of the five belmont senior captains and one of the eighteen seniors on this senior night that we're under technically it's nineteen because we also have to include dennis crowley who played the rogers last year i had some surgery to get ready for some of the other sports he plays and as a result i actually been a student assistant helping out coach q in the coaching staff i know that's a big plus for them so yes but chilled out of the shotgun first and ten and he's going to have to quit just throw your right in the flat it goes to the alley the alley another one of those seniors across the thirty will get all the seniors names mentioned before this broadcast is over you can guarantee that it is not my first rodeo when it comes to your all the seniors get a little bit a lot tonight some obviously get  and once again and so the writers try to get lucky it will teach their own medicine with a quick play off and this time and off i believe that was killing o'connell and he's going to be smothered and taken down for a walk on the play o'connell last week scored a couple of rushing three to four yards short of a first down as of the minute men are gang tackling o'connell down at the a thirty nine yard line it's going to be a fourth and four kind of in that no man's land terry you have to figure coach q is going to go for it i've got to go f right to catch us tonight for pollock thirty two of the season to go with three touchdowns leads the team by far and away in receiving yardage as well and a senior captain to number eighty four take pot luck and expect that combo to be hopefully quick enough throughout the second down carrie from o'connell it'll be close to a first down kelly and o'connell and i kind of like the they saw a little bit this last week of brothers actually even though they they won by twenty to winchester actually ran for one hundred fifty nine yards averaged over five yeah belmont is doing exactly what they're supposed to do they're getting yobs on first down so they're not putting themselves and secondly on a lot of times to keep the playbook wide open also keeping the clock running and out of the hands of self real again the minute men off and here's the pitch over to reynolds going to the far side reynolds turns the corner and he gets inside the ten yard line but for a gain of probably about five yards again some good first down production from the writers as they've been doing entirely on with four and a half little over four and a half to go here in the opening quarter of writers looking to tie things up as they're down seven nothing and fitzy out of the shotgun goes near side and looks like it might have been a wires crossed on that play pollock was the closest receiver but was not the act losin of a bring up a second down look like we had a mix up it looked like there were two receivers in the same area and fitzhugh went to the spot where we thought someone was going to be sometimes that can be dangerous catch and up to reynolds on first and goal and he actually gets tripped up for a walk back to the five yards wide but doesn't a good play call there only because you know what's in probably is not looking for more in the  cause you're probably looking for couric down here in the end zone where you can throw it up in there goes out and do it imo in a greater route is he was open morse first receiving targets the year came last week it winchester they charged him twice he did not have a catch that right there he made his first catch of the season second in goal that that's going to be batted down i believe that was big number eight jeems lane one of their senior captains last year six two two hundred james literally lived up to his last name he got in his in his goal from the five again you wonder if this could be four down territory yet to think the marauders are going to be thinking mostly touchdowns tonight to try to keep pace with lexington's officers randle turning the corner we're the goal line no signaling yet by the officials and it does not look appear that they're going to extend their arms upwards so it's a fourth down from the one yard line and again just as i was saying joe you know the writers in all likelihood this is a game where they've got to be thinking touchdowns field goals are going to cut it again it's going to have to you do it just like you said earlier top they're doing exactly what this close to do controlling the ball and controlling the clock and we're going to have a timeout take in here by lexington and head coach george peterson and his seventh season like that as we mentioned coming in five you know they went nine inches last year and got knocked out in the i think the first round or the second round of the other teams won north play offs and tied like we talked about the up back in the in this formation with tyler reynolds back deep in the eye big fourth that's going to still be a keeper for fitzgerald getting to kick the extra point and cadigan does not need luck because he has had an incredible career kicking here at belmont another one of those eighteen seniors out on the field tonight giving their all and with two thirty eight to go here in the opening quarter the runners it was just an amazing drive by done what they didn't lose their composure they stay home in there and now they know they have the confidence to take a move the ball against his defense seven forty four that's a try for was rushing touchdown number ten and the overall touchdown for friel accounting both rushing and passing his twenty first he's back in the shotgun he will hand off to ben quint quint will plunge forward for a couple of yards to the end zone on touched a perfect play calling in a seventy nine yard touchdown pass on a drive that lasted less than a minute lesson in that the ball far west in two minutes in this game and they already have thirteen points that's just amazing todd to see that rather than going to say before the play was run is let's see how the defense feeds off the off and some see if they can you know stand up and bowl their backs and e running back the opening kickoff right for a score the extra point by hewitt up and good so there you go i was a forty eight a forty eight second scoring drive on two plays for the minutemen which was just a little longer than the two play forty second yard forty second scored tried the first time they had the par so they had the ball for a grand total of sixty eight seconds and they have a run for office of plays and they score two touchdowns no let's see we got one forty eight to go in the first quarter we got the whole second quarter of a goal belmont office has confidence now because they moved the ball right down the field held it for over seven and a half minutes you know twelve or thirteen drives on a play five six first and the defense gives up a quick one because this high post next isn't often seen just unbelievable and so quick it will see no if the author can come back and do the same thing yeah that was beyond the sixth touchdown reception of the year which ties him the return and not a bounce such a shy of the thirty will wait to see what the flag is that's normally against the receiving team and that was a pretty there was a pretty good run back they had going on there to the outside it looked like they were going to get in a good field position and as we talked about with this author you can't put yourself in a long you know down and distance because this often from washington is so quick and if they get off the field and get the ball back there's no telling you know what will happen with that often it's again one thirty eight to go here in the first quarter and the writers would certainly like to like you like you were saying joe would put together another nice long time consuming drive and finish it with a touchdown and they've got the confidence of the can move the ball and i think jake pollock obviously at the beginning is going to be a big time get on the other factor here joe you don't want to get it all back in one place is that the ball goes right what's inside i think they want to have a little six seven eight yard plays just  down but costly turnover there comes with fifty nine seconds left here in the first quarter and now not only did the minutemen get the ball but they're actually going to get it with a very short field the ball spotted at the twenty four yard line of belmont that's a field position once it's had to start a drive and we saw what they did when they were back in their own end and this is a team obviously with lexington is going to take advantage of new situations you can't give them a short field to bad enough looks numbers for this season coming into the game he completed eighty one percent of his passes seventy three for ninety four eight hundred sixty eight yards alive in passing touchdowns and just one interception the passing t d s tied for lexington touchdown a thirty yard touchdown run so far the minutemen joe every other play have scored a touchdown they've had six off in supplies and three of them of wound up in the end zone that was a fourteen second scoring drive thank you powerhouse team that probably put fifty and sixty players on the field all the time since plays to division one all across the country as lexington went down there into brockton and beat up on the brockton box and i think it was like forty backfield that might have been sure but that was brett but maybe one of the other players so we have thirty seven seconds to go here in the opening quarter i lexington twenty one belmont seven runners going to the ball first and ten and just inside their own twenty four yard line let's see how they respond to that fumble cause like we said they moved the ball but now lexington is so quick they can't turn the ball fitzgerald to show the alley the senior who was we mentioned now it's two catches in this game all six on the season including a touchdown in week one and already  fitzgerald's passing yards are closely approaching what he had all of last week when he struggled with nine for twenty five one and only one hundred twenty yards and no touchdowns tonight he's already run for a touchdown and like to add a passing touchdown to that list here's fitzgerald in some pressure does a nice job to get out of it the looking he fires and it is intercepted in the end zone i think that was anthony b  i think the pass was intended for pollock but pollock was unfortunately bianca he had the best shot of catching that we talked about these turnovers the last time they had the ball they fumbled deep in their own territory  the defender from washington bianca did a great job of coming down with it in the end zone it's only the third interception fitzgerald is throwing all season but it's the second in as many weeks and a very costly one in the end zone here's freeland running to the outside and again he's got some blockers and free look is still going in and guess what self real like is going to run for his third touchdown of this game on the final play of the first quarter and eighty yard run for well i may give it him give it to him right now the eastern mass player of the year b c bound shortstop four of the eagles baseball team next year a  is a third rushing touchdown of the game as you you it's actually point is up and good for let me have two hundred yards rushing in this game before the ha i think he died oh no we'll keep track of the official stats here are unofficial stats i should say wow that's that's less than two minutes yeah i'm speechless you know i would let me give some credit to some other guys but it was a couple guys up front for lexington that were down field helping  scored one touchdown but also turn the ball over twice and here we are getting ready to start the quarter number two yeah we talked about a turnovers will just come back to hurt you twenty eight points fourteen or offer in an interception she's a friend if you're someone who's a friend of eric he's a great kid he's involved in the best buddies program at lexington high school he was actually my son's best buddy for a couple of years and i got to know this kid over a couple uses a great kid with with a good heart on them wow so here's fitzgerald in the shotgun he'll handoff and i think despite the score here joy i think what the writers want to do is they want to continue to have a balanced often severe tack i think they still want to try to establish the run by running the ball they're taking time off the clock to keep the ball out of this thing really only they can move the ball i mean even in that interception i mean they had a sixty five seventy  they kept the ball for seven and a half minutes this is exactly what you didn't want to happen that's three turnovers and that could lead to twenty one points for lexington with ten minutes and three seconds to go in the first half it's a go ten yards and duncan he once had a workout tonight he kicks is for the extra point of the evening nine fifty seven to go here in the second quarter and lexington extending their lead thirty five to seven and free what for sponsible for all five of the touchdowns he's run for three sixty one seventy nine and eighty yards on the ground and then the two touchdown passes to v this is this is a very special player i can understand why he's drawn some comparisons to doug flutie joe because i have a feeling i didn't get to watch for his high school career but i thought she was doing a lot of stuff like that looked like this so i you know you want to come on you to see players like this because they don't come through programs like belmont lexington too often but to watch this kid and watch what he does in the diane dynamics of what he's doing and the amazing thing is everybody knows that he's go get the ball everybody knows he's going to take the ball and run and they still cannot get out and again i'm well and george peterson employs to spread off and this is peterson's seventh year here at lexington he's been using the spread often since he arrived at lexington  quarterback quarterback running exactly or you know playing exactly the way the coach would like to see this kind of off ends run so be allie will take it back on his goal line and make his way up a cross the twenty tw five yard line brodeur's have turned the ball over each of their last three possessions and need to anger on the football you're with nine forty seven to go here in the second quarter that will see belmont has to keep their composure they have to stay together they're not going to get twenty points back on his drive they have to do what they know they can do what they did on the first drive and not turn the ball over any more three turnovers have led into twenty one points for the minutemen here is the pitch back to tyler reynolds the senior coming off his first hundred yard game of the season ran for buck nine last week he picks up about add that it was in and out of his hands up third down was a great pass by fits and he got behind the secondary it just looked like that the ball hung up a little bit and gave the defender the chance to get down in and probably disrupt his concentration on the football fitzgerald kind of running for his life here as he's chased down the pass is incomplete mack stevens a junior linebacker was in pursuit of fitzgerald and rogers here on fourth down are going to have to  enough first time in this game the writers are punting with a fifty seven to go here in the second quarter but with the ball deep at their own end at their thirty yard line certainly this is not four down territory for the marauders and number twenty eight as you might be the one threatening i think it's eight eight place five touchdowns this would imply number nine of at your brother's going to take a time out you're coming with eight forty eight to go in the first half it's going to be interesting to see what happens at half time and see  belmont deferred in the first so they'll be getting the ball to stop the second half and with a forty eight to go we have no idea what the score is going to be at the for at the end of the first but i was so impressed when i saw belmont come out  to the opening drive by lexington where pruitt just took it down the field over sixty for a touchdown and since then you know the turnovers are just absolutely killed the we'll see how this psyche is and how they respond in the second half that and quint who is we mentioned scored four touchdowns against the marauders in last year's game at lexington gets his first tonight but that is his alive and rushing touchdown of the season  by the way that it's the interception that he had earlier and that line drive by hewitt who's whose foot must be getting tired actually it was i think was partially deflected at the line of scrimmage by belmont so eight thirty four to go mean ninety nine plays and six touchdowns i don't even know and again this is actually you know what this kind of reminds me a lot of how i play my fantasy football team every week i put out my best line up every week my opponent just off to reynolds and rattle just looking for some running room and ill get over to the sideline to have a barometer first down all the way up to a forty four yard line nice run their nineteen yard make up for the senior tyler rannells those with a good and hopkins with the catch but we'll see if it counts penalty right oh it's second and thirteen second catch of the game one more was really big on that first scoring drive and now one more or a gingerly makes its way over to the sidelines and joviality going to check in for i'm going to be a third down in eight riders  now he's going to just keep it as nobody was open downfield unfortunately the child forced out of bounds well short of the first down with fourth and probably about eight you see the marauders are going for it i don't see cadigan going on in the field when he was he was backed in he was open and fitzy had already committed to the run fourth in eight and actually account again his back in pump formation riders are going to punt here with five twenty five to go so do you think your show i mean what i can do with what you're saying here i know you don't want to just get the ball back to looks good but i'm not sure punting if you're really you know what it seems like taught it doesn't matter will you give them the ball back short fill long field it doesn't it's just they're going to take the ball and go they're going to take the ball and go well they're going to this time lexington is going to take the ball from their own twenty yard line and i think they've done that earlier in this half with great success it's just i don't think i've so peterson took over us at the start of the two thousand and eleven season running this spread off and he just happens right now to have a tremendous set of athletes who can execute this with such precision you know it you know there is self deceit but let's not forget about and we have a tackle me out of bounds over on the far side of the field like those words you haven't used a lot as we have attack and again i'm kind of glad you pointed that out just he just made belmont defenders look foolish again as i said these are some very talented morato defensive players and the fact he just ran for another seventy nine eighty and sixty two yards he's also passed for two touchdowns to bianka and then ben quint also had an eighty so my memory isn't that good but that's over two hundred yards a rushing for the quarterback alone in the first half awaiting the next kickoff here and what started off as a promising start for belmont as lexington took the opening kickoff mobster on the field belmont got the ball back had a couple of chung plays there were set back a couple of minutes since the score you mentioned since we were tied at seven and it's about seven to eight minutes of actual laps game time and lexington has put up a six touchdowns over that period and again the flight when the ball went out of bounds and then touched it for belmont and so where it goes that's where they get the ball it was actually not a bad run on first deep in your own end zone would be a big break from beaumont that they could use right now to try to hang on to the ball it's also the end of the first for james lane slow to get up for a lexington but he's up now and it is roughing the a second down reynolds mentioned averaging over five yards a carry coming into tonight's action along with a couple of the rushing touchdowns and two hundred sixty three yards rushing for tyler coming into the game it's all been there for shake pollak your speech gerald looking in and income played again no pressure was there and what was the intended receiver here on the near side but that shell that to get rid of that ball little sooner than he wanted yeah  mentioned another senior on that line got a third down coming there are check that out you have thirty down and twelve losses to on the play but they're letting the clock run as far as they can you some place to throw the ball they've got to come back towards get off of their defenders and give them something to crow to do so they can get something positive because now we've got fifty six seconds to go the clock is stopped because of the yeah there's a radio station in new york that likes to say we'll give you twenty two minutes i'll tell you twenty two seconds seems to be all that the minutemen have needed this evening or less well here is a return and still going ladies and gentlem that's been when senior on the punt return for something close to about ninety yards and just as we were talking about how quickly this minute man often can score that one actually credit to the touchdown to the special well we mentioned quint last year at two rushing touchdowns and two receiving touchdowns in a forty one twenty seven when on between these two teams and dr crumb field a little to our north in lexington very nice facility right next to their other baseball field center field home of the summer league that i done some p a work for in the past the lexington blue sox winners of thirteen inner city league baseball championships shot about seventy percent from the field it was unbelievable a great basketball team he went to oregon are going to and then he played next and when he played from phoenix he led the league  be belmore one yeah and i had the honor of being part of that we lost to lexington ninety six to thirty five reference to score like cued up for the second half if there's one thing i've got it they might all be true but they're good stories there we go well the reality here is lexington fifty six belmont seven in the closing seconds of the first half to first half ladies and gentlemen twenty well as we said we give you twenty two minutes give the minutemen twenty two minutes tonight and they have just been putting on a clinic showing why they are one of the top teams in the state i can't the assistant coaches the starters for lexington will not be playing in the second half well that's a good thing i'm glad that the coach on the story has made us a little i think he made his point yup but i don't think i was making a point i just think this is how talented these there's a flag in the backfield might be another roughing the passer against the minutemen yep i think you're right so the belmont as a first drive good way to start the second half course will see all the marauder starters remain in the game will probably all see all the seniors at some point you know most of the seniors to start but not all of them and some of the ones we don't call numbers for as much will probably get some ample playing time here over the final twenty two minutes of this one yeah this is where you first quarter this game was tied at seven and then with three consecutive turnovers and lexington's defense just dominated as we're going to get have a flag against belmont here for a poppins on the year came into the game with two catches for thirty four yards and i got third and nineteen tongue open the second for receivers are two or splits each side it's ellen pollock here to the near side and fitzgerald back to throw he's looking near side and it's caught no sorry it's incomplete and out of the hands of politicians i don't lay himself out would have been shy the first that was actually catching that at the original line of scrimmage so on fourth down eighteen can begin another one of those belmont seniors will be back to do the punting yeah not the style you wanted to bomb on in the second have but i think they understand what's going on here and like i said this is close to the five yard line to be close to a first down you know what i like about tyler runnels taught is not the biggest kid in the world he's got speed to get to the outside but he's not afraid to put his foot in the field and cut back in the inside and take  uprights so that'll stand seven twenty seven to go as the teams head back up field here in the third quarter it is now fifty six fourteen game we will see a different looking lexington defense when they get their first touch of often sear in the second half yeah that was a big big turnaround for belmont that looked like they were punting likes until is going to take off to take over the ball you know on the offensive side of the ball no reynolds with the touchdown run is third of the season so here we go is a catechize going to squint the kick downfield picked up by the r across the twenty two about the twenty three yard line sal free looks night is done after three hundred thirty six total yards two hundred thirty six yards with his feet and then another hundred yards with his arm came into the game he had completed eighty one percent of his passes on the season tonight he was three for three so he actually managed to increase his passing percentage rate and will be a first down in ten let's check out the new lexington quarterback well no it's actually still free look out there we were told  senior for the minute men getting his first carry of the night picks up again of two in the first half lexington at fourteen often supplies in eight of them ended up in the end zone you want to talk about  averaged over about forty five yards a carry on is that's crazy if you think about those that's really so many there's another handoff i think that might be a listen again he'll run laps the thirty yard line with five twenty to go here in the third quarter rodgers will get back on the field often simply check and see who else is out there right now conor sh you with a couple carries from his running back spot there was coming out of his offensive tackle spot to apply pressure on foot shelby second down yeah he's a defensive tackle zach olsen he's five nine two hundred twenty five pounds is moving right now and looking pretty good good running to add a budding attack here from reynolds and o'connell pitch back goes to reynolds this time he comes near side turns a corner and again will be close to a first down east out of bounds at about the for seven minutes and forty four seconds and this looks like similar to that clock running with under three minutes to go here in the third quarter you know on the marauders website friends of belmont football or want to keep you updated as to when those games are clock stops here with exactly two minutes to go in the third quarter and fourth and one coming out of this timeout taken think it was the third one it is the third one in the tank and i'm probably the end of the reception up there was a nice play because it looked like the quarterback he was under pressure looked like he was just trying to get rid of the ball going down the sidelines and i believe who was the number of love  reception and penalty on lexington their third roughing the passer call in this game it is an aggressive is the deep back with one ten to go clock running here in the third quarter fitzgerald looks and now will run out and try to try to get past matt stevens except it's a stevens will have none of that senior defensive end listed at six three one eighty five and i believe his show on some of the numbered acquired believe he has told two three roughing the passer penalties tonight against belmont that time he gets the sack is the third quarter will come to a close here at harris field on seniors night and unlucky friday the thirteenth for belmont football was they had to run into south free look at the high octane off and  to bring a fourth down now and a fourth along but obviously four down territory on the ball situated at the twenty four yard line of lexington i think it right here look for number eighty four jag paul hagen because it could cause you know a fourth and twenty one you got to go to the end zone i mean you got to you got to take a shot jake is a big strong kid who can go up after the ball has had a good night tonight considering so look for jake paula here if you has the time rodgers yes that that's a big if here is fitzgerald rolling out an it i had the honor of being the captain of the high school basketball team and i reckon it was zero and twenty you almost have to try to go in twenty times when you're playing high school basketball you're right yeah it was it was junior quarterback in calling signals and it's going to be third and free here for lexington at the thirty one they'll hand it off to early one night because he had connections with b c want to take his basketball team over to b c and this is how long ago was bob cousy was coaching the boston college eagles at the time wow bob cousy yes i was coaching a boston college  drinking age turned eighteen so we might have a couple of cocktails oh we met and there's a nice tackle by caleb and in one of those senior campaigns here we're going up third down in ten now so you know when the writers get the ball back i want to make sure the rest of the seniors get mentioned including a former broadcast partner of mine here who i think i need to give some props to before this one is over we missed him in the booth this year but we do try to say i did i'm right here  with the stops all washington turns it over and downs rotters often get back out on the field maybe some of the seniors who have yet to get in the game will get their opportunity here here now you know that's if the marlins can put some more points up on the field on the scoreboard before we go home with three twenty one left to go in the game some seniors i haven't mentioned yet number fifty and of course i i saved the best for last year and i still see him on the sidelines i hope he gets in here soon looking for number sixty one of my two thousand and sixteen broadcast partner for belmont football will findlay  also want to give a big shout out here's where in our what might be our last football game here is field this year al gledhill the long time all my public address announcer has always done a great job i sang the national anthem earlier this year when the band i don't know make it i don't know  who's that dynamic and that dangerous i mean literally every time he touches the ball i believe if i'm not mistaken tonight belmont tackled him one time one time i think they tackled him for a two or three  the play the writers will be playing at arlington next week you can complete the middle section schedule then you'll have some on non playoff league games and some of those might be your ears feel that they are be just sports me everyone covered them so keep your eye out on that but at this
