coming fresh off their first win in twenty six tries and they will be taking on the salem which is tonight here just about ready to kick off my name is todd blown ers and my goodness it's been a long time since i've done this he joined along side by nick roach in fact the last time i think i called the belmont football game my color analyst nick here probably wasn't even born yet but nick thank you for joining us here at the the food and we see that the salem witch is in white are ready to kick off they're looking for their first win of the marauders win last week against medford so it'll be second down in one christopher very hands off this time it's to make a johnson and johnson is stopped at the line of scrimmage maybe he got a gain of a little bit but he will be short of the first down to bring up third down they're down and very short as really well i think they're moving that yeah well no they're actually going ok so the old hometown spot benefits the marauders and they do pick up the first down on the mackay johnson run that's a really good job for the tackle that was did not see who made the wait to see what the call in your shop walk yeah it's a personal foul against salem so they're going to tack this on i believe to the end of the play which is going to obviously make it a first down for the marauders and now they're going to move fifteen yards downfield are going to spot this with an excellent performance last week and i know it was a long time coming young human has been building up to the point where other riders were finally going to get off the schneid break that long losing streak so your first out of the thirty one yard line the handoff goes against you with  to find some running room and he's going to be close to a first down he's tackled about the twenty one yard line ellabella running games really strong and deep that's the thing they can hit you so many different ways they have basically three started running backs and a fullback all of which are really go to potentially even captains yeah and it's a perfect old school running to with the power i formation you don't see that in the pros very much anymore but you do certainly works on this level the deep back is max jones with christian offset and it's going to go to i keep in the title is no time of the clock there is no time on the clock that's the first time i went over to look at the clock and i know it's there's no time on the clock so they must be there keeping the time on the field i guess and we're going to have some fun with that i guess we'll find out if we can go oh right it's a good time at the seventeen yard line of salem again in the i formation the deep back is mckay johnson and christopher will hand it off to mckay and he's going to slices way for a gain of about six because you're over eating the hole there by johnson his initial cut didn't really get anywhere so exhausted a little to the outside and effective an extra like four yards apparently nothing on the clock's working so i was going to say how many yards we had here on this first dallas and about second  and that is the call from the salem eleven yard line again we're in the first quarter as far as we know and no score yet but the marauders on their opening dr archer driving in a very impressive running the ball it's all been on the ground for ball on the the end zone from anywhere between inside the fifteen in the one to the run backs don't straight right into the three hole and it almost always goes well for one guy i mean the interior line blocking so far on this opening drive nick has been just tremendous it sometimes i could have sworn i've seen three go through so far that just didn't count either yeah one reason or another well i think there's a couple different issues one and possibly being a little bit hurt i think the other issue too is he was kicking in one pretty sure on when ye that would be max's a younger brother who played at b b n last year and is now back at belmont high school and i know max the senior captain is glad to have his little brother around on the team that is a huge  a gain of a yard it will be second and nine from the belmont nineteen yard line and six nothing your score here in the first quarter on the max jones one yard touchdown run and salem trying to answer offset just to his right so first and going out in the front on the line and this flag fly to fly as it might just be a free play and it could be a touchdown that will maybe stand to terror in week fall a senior but large successor running the football source in the first well the other thing is on a play like that where you know you've got the with the flags fly some of the players i think just that that slight hesitation defensively just enough for the office to have an edge there and it was a good throw by lupus and  to find weak follow up and for the touchdown which ties the game at six and now salem looking to take the lead and it looks like they're going to go for two to take the lead and we've got lucas out of the shot going to hand off to robles and robles fighting near the goal line motivation trying to get that extra when belmont coming off their first of salem silicon for their so yeah i would think so nick i would agree with that you've got both teams playing for i think you also probably have teams that are very evenly matched so this could make this very entertaining i mean we've already both teams just marching down the field at will on each other we'll see if it continues here we are still in the first quarters again as far as we know time is being kept on the field the clock here it harris field and does not seem to be working to see things so we'll  be usually forty right well let's see their spot is about thirty i think no wait a minute now spotting at the thirty you so riders back out off and see if they can  break this tie christopher he comes into the huddle after taking instruction from that coach young human and we'll see if the writers office will continue on the role that was at no passes on that first scoring drive there for belmont all but on the well if they're going to spot the ball the salem forty seven so it's a twenty three yard run for max jones senior captain and that was a really big hole down the middle that's a different that i mean i've been very impressed what i've seen of the belmont line that's all i know all right i'll be honest will try to keep an eye out for a second down an eight here and the handoffs going to go again to jones jones runs right this time cuts back in at the first down and more all the way down to the thirty yard line yeah one defenseman right at the line mean he's going to be close in fact he's coming out for a breather right now as christopher goes as a lot of work for this office and he sure does a good player for a long time well not much lobbying  usually just meets people at the palo but i'm kind of stood up a little yeah it would make sense to he's a big guy in fact till now let's check out it's going to be second down he picked up maybe a yard second and nine from the thirty yard line we're still here in the first quarter on officially we do not know how much time is left and time the receiver is on this one could we see our first passing play of the game here on second and nine christopher i will stand handoff to max jones is back in the game jones just pile forward right and it looks like he might have a first pass to go to tackles there and so to bring him down sure did and then see what depending where they marked out he's going to be like a yard short third and one for belmont with the ball at the salem twenty one yard line  take any chances on third down and give up anything really you don't want to pressure too much in the past because then you're going to be the guy wide open but they're going to go i formation here yet belmont is going right to left here into the wind which is gusty and now a handoff to seen so far in this game if we're looking at a third and long for belmont i mean the local anybody could we see our first yeah first passing play here possibly no instead staying on the ground max jones  have the clock fixed in time for the second quarter one can only hope to score after one belmont six in salem six as the rogers looking to try to start a winning streak in salem just looking to get off the schneid here at harris thirteen to six and hey we got the clock working ten forty three to go here in the second quarter so that was another impressive drive by the marauders again nigga keeping the ball on the ground running affectively good part about the runners driving right now as they're taking their time but they're taking time off the clock to keep it a salem's hands and as we've seen so far at least sales was a sixty five year old russian so channel get ready to kick off here ten forty three left to go in the second one as i'm here for gold in an absolutely rogers getting set up here for the kick off products are going to have another game coming up to be a fun one ninety third meeting between the two schools and riders looking to even up the east the one time series between the two yes schools but to be a challenge others are watertown having a pretty good season but we'll see what you've got to throw the records out on thanksgiving day and that's always  so it'll be first in ten they're going to spot the ball at the thirty two yard line of salem and that's where the witches will start to strive first in ten get a move pretty impressive on their first often some series and scored their first points in four weeks getting the pass completion to the wide receiver a week fall shot on that last are they going to go again yeah it is it is again jared lucas in the shotgun formation with the two receiver there's too much motion i think of the handoff that was a twenty seven on the move there robles i mean you can move receivers but you can't move two at the same time and you can't move the lineman right so w wrong it's it shouldn't be first into is what it looks like here that means that they accepted the penalty it was a moving handoff to the yeah we go handoff goes to robles again he runs right and he will get close to the first down marker maybe a little bit short again rogers do a nice job tested once again you look up front we see nick ryan up there along with austin lots of course it's high school so these guys who are your often someone they're also on your defensive line and the anatomy of what we are actually taking an situation they went to the air and got a touchdown out of it so you see to see if that's something they want to pursue again have seven beaumont just scored they haven't looked too bad at all well yeah belmont two for two was just march down the field at will it seems so yeah i would say that's a pretty big play coming up for us for the witch with the ball at the belmont thirty five yard line they're looking to try to tie up the score trailing by seven here with the clock running eight fifteen eight fourteen to go in the second quarter and once again it is robles working out of the shotgun or excuse me  just couldn't hang on so it'll be third down in fifteen but that time you saw lucas throwing the ball with a little bit more authority which you have to do when you're trying to throw it into the wind i mean you got to zip it in there or you got to keep the throws very short he certainly and it's leading into a lot of penalties i think we're starting to know why they're probably zero one eight this year and why they've had trouble scoring points i knew and you can't get the play started you can't score on the play so so another five year penalty brings up third down and twenty with the ball  belmont now put him down to the forty five we got a timeout you know if they'll want to salem takes the time out so it comes at seven fifty three to go here till half time and i have to remind myself these are eleven minute quarters and of course now that i can see the clock perhaps we can have a timeout youn know young cumin go on out to talk to the official i think was he trying to get a timeout all the officials instructing coach human about something or is that all the clock is apparently the clocks not there were requests coming from the field visuals are asking for the clock be turned off so i write it like it's not working accurately as don't like us very much to do that well i think the problem is the clocks not functioning properly being accurate time in the officials don't want that time to be up there so it says seven thirteen remaining here and at the moment the clock is still on you just can't help  that's what you want to do is been belmonte but the monsoon really sessile running the football especially on first down so they're going to need it here at their own two i do think it one time i wonder if salem was considering going for that fourth down i think afterward they change their mind or maybe it was that they got such a little yardage on third down and maybe that made the decision a lot easier for other coaching staff anyway so belmont with the ball first and ten at their own two yard line wind their backs but they got ninety eight yards to go to the m o two we've got another timeout being taken by salem i think and then they want to or the formation again so we've got a timeout and again the clock spot here we do know there is under seven minutes remaining and he  get through that and he did anyway this got away again yards he sure does yeah so we've got second into they gave a jones eight yards on the first down kerry so second into with the ball at the going out of  ball the belmont thirty six yard like big turnover and just as krista fahri get on in the first belmont passing attempt of the game really likes going to wagner well and you know looked like wagner made a good catch i'm not sure if the ball was in and out of wagner's hands is one sidelines and getting his signal still a pig turned over there as the marauders looked like they were going to be moving again it picked up a first out and then the the church over by wagner either in and out of his hands or  and they'll spot the ball the belmont twenty one first and ten for salem from there down seven points in the second quarter probably somewhere inside of five minutes would be my guess as to the time remaining again time being kept on the field where  second in ten from the twenty one out of the shotgun lucas rolls out he's got some running room this time he's going to try to turn the corner now cut back inside and he may have a first down he's right about the ten yard line which is where he needed to get and in fact they're already moving the marker so it's to be first a goal for salem again there you go you see the trips you and the quarterback go in fake the throw just for a little bit and then you run it down you get blocking the outs and picked up a first down and that's them and it's especially impressive running from that time nick because he was rolling out towards the side and he cut back in a lot of quarterbacks don't do that he was kind of thinking almost like a running back there and picked up the extra yard so it's first and goal now for sale ball is right at the belmont ten yard line this is exactly the spot they were well we'll see what the call is here i mean this is again if you were if this was the marauders we know they would just be trying to run it up the god i'm not sure what salem is going to try here on forbes you know here we go to the left and out guys outside is  can punt doesn't mean maybe you're a good place kicker and this similar enough it is it is and i was surprised i mean you know and actually i believe i don't know if that punter might have been one of their other skill players i guess he's not comfortable kicking the ball off the ground and see what the call is again others defenses a little more spread out the stuff so the conversion is no good and score remains belmont thirteen salem twelve here in the latter stages of the second quarter visit to see if the money goes a little more to the air here christopher is been doing pretty well through the air last couple games and he's been getting better and better since the c's began have one line i believe that there will be some time here perhaps for the marauders again we don't know how much time but but again this is also would seem that you know this is the you know one of the things it's great when you can run the ball well but when you don't have a lot of time now what are you not be first instead of the marauders at their own twenty seven yard line with time winding down here in the first half completion of this actually correction might be the second battle and we should in the game for christopher ari we really don't know because o's the ruling on the yeah we don't know how that was either an interception by christopher well it's first completion well i guess either one is going to be lead at a really quick strike is just about to say you get that much urge on their first play you don't know how much time exactly is left on the clock it kind of want to run it a little in a little more manageable right there and so jones for the second week in a row scores three touchdowns so far yeah so far we're still got a whole half a football left here from harris memorial field right now the marauders with a nineteen to twelve lead where they're still he had the big class pass play from christopher to dirk and then that was followed up by the by the big run by max jones touchdown run his he's going to get health off the field there in a long time anyway rodgers will be kicking off here as the first half again we do not know exactly how much time is left but it's coming down to a close yeah it's going to say there's not a whole lot of time left here and and salem as we were talking about earlier nick i don't know if they have any timeouts maybe one at u c l a us on yap and to return to libya is going to be enough time for them here to try to do anything and so we'll see see how she and game i mean i can't think what else it would be because they didn't get s third down in three with the ball the seventeen yard line so sail must get to the twenty to get a first down again not a whole lot of time left here in the first half time being kept by the officials on the field and in fact we have time outs blowing will know i'm wondering if it's halftime yes is it is it is halftime one time they've been stopped off and so he really had one punch so far in this game writers have been very successful so of course the other thing that keep in mind here salem is going to be he has the wind at their backs in the third quarter but that means that the marauders with the wind at their back in the fourth quarter and which is possibly had you know and if you're sailing there that is not how you want to start a quarter no no you're not start any definitely not and a lot looks like a loss of about six on the play a lupus did a nice job just a fall on that one sort of the end of the third and you wonder why they keep running it as really hurting your team you just can't take those about how news especially if you don't have any faith in your team yeah i think a much more simplified often swim work would work better instead of all these multiple men in motion and whatnot it's just all the way up but to just near the midfield stripe first intense salem a really good pick up for sale and there was the first really successful throw of the night at the end of the touchdown and i was just i just look nice get a lupus with a great on first and ten reserve gets maybe a couple and then just driven back by a pile of marauders is still seeing a lot of moving up front especially with the off on the line and it think the refs are getting a little more lenient with it forty yard line lucas again looking over to the sideline for instruction and now again this very complicated huddle trying to remember in high school how many seconds you can on the play clock it's not that much though so you've got work fast and right now it looks like lucas is doing that to receiver split far side one near siders loops back to throw in separate out there is pressure he steps up throws and the ball scott and is going to be a first down really good throw in the run there and number twenty eight the half back and it was recovered by the marauders and that might have been sixty one i think nick ryan who got the recovery and football that's only their first home of the night even though there was a high snap earlier and that just kill all the room they had on that drive yeah it was you successful passes in a row they go back to the run and it's a foam i mean resort you never really had a handle on that each look the ball but he was ju occasionally especially later in the game so look out for that first in ten for the marauders now at the salem forty eight yard line data six and a half clock running here in the third and up goes to johnson again and mci gets down to the forty five gain of about three and bring up second it's not a good job dialing move because johnson got an extra two yards just on the time alone and now he'll check out a match jones will check that means once again we're going to get to hear the dulcet tones of the belmont high school marching band and i got to tell you i was entertained to the extreme during halftime nick i mean they were just like you said they played a whole star wars medley and another one of my my favorites of all time off to jones and jones gets one of the shorter carries of the night again probably only about three yards which again for him is well below is yards per carry average tonight that's still not affected have overs the not knowing is an i o i sense i even if that was his average it would have  well he could have kept running i suppose but he didn't and so you know so but it is a first down for the marauders of the ball the salem thirty three yard line i thought for a second he didn't touch it that's why i wasn't around and it was a really good adjustment to make the catch what christopher has had to throw tonight he's done a nice job especially that time having a throw in with top wind yet and here's the handoff by christopher to max jones on first and ten to get the line and then still manage to lunge forward pick up a couple another really good job of the long running backs just extending the play off to the initial contact because of an extra two yards after being met pretty much impressive run by jones who turn the corner and again we've seen it all might nick as soon as he gets daylight you know he cannot be stopped and brings it down to three forty eight left in the third quarter and that is a lot of clocky off the sale of turnover great drive your chance extra point into the and that extends the marauders lead to fifteen it's twenty seven to twelve with under four minutes to go in this third quarter and a very like you said nick a very impressive drive there once again a nice mix of that time of the christopher are with or with a nice  it's just amazing us again on the ground you've got to get on third down when you're on phones get guys on the first suv and they did actually the whole drive was j brass bands of my my my new favorite high school marching band here and we're going to a lot of energy of the day i wonder if the conductors like from hartford or something i don't know and wonder in any way we're going to get ready for the next the that's what you want to see if you're any opposing kicking to and this is the marauders biggest lead in the game up by two scores here with three forty four to go in the third and we'll see us salem has an answer now that's that's what that really was the pressure on salem i mean you've got to go now down fifteen not see much time left in the third quarter well let's see if jerry lewis can get the often going success before the turnover on the in the air zone racing to see if they go back to that and throw that in just lead off with yeah that turnover this quarter definitely a key in the writers were able to turn around it and they can turn it into rolling out to his left looking far side it's going to chuck it deep down the field and it is going to be an obvious pass interference there on ben jones who collided right with the receiver he didn't even turn around and later on it's time the thing he did where you don't see is this is a big penalty we're talking a twenty yard penalty i think there where they spot in the ball here it's going to be good for a sale and first down obvious i mean is it is it the spot oh you know what it's only fifty it's fifteen yards it's not spot a bill it's going to be really nice big penalty but it puts the ball into a belmont territory if they actually spotted it at the spot of a foul a sale would be ten yards closer as the past ended up down close to your thirty five yard line but unfortunately as we said we do not have a twenty eight on our salem roster so he will be going as the unnamed back for the remainder of this one but big pick up salem getting six yards will be second and fourth the belmont thirty nine one eighteen and counting for salem left in the third quarter and trailing twenty seven to twelve the marauders looking to post back to back wins after a very long losing streak which they are glad is now in the rearview mirror football coach and he's looking to get another one we'll get another one i know it was i was as i was reading in another recap it was very emotional for coach cumin get a nap game ball they gave the game ball to him after the after the in the last two weeks i mean that's got to be close to some mass high school rhyming you know he's i mean i'd like to see how that compares to some of the other top running backs across the commonwealth in a two week span it's pretty impressive so going into the wind dying down a little bit yeah given the fifteen point deficit i would have to say i don't think we're going to see any field goal attempts at this point not knowing how it's four down territory as far as lucas in the office is concerned he was deep down the field and it is almost too much it went through the i think it went in and out of the hands of the so much here i think well i think he also got partially screened as gilbert jumped in front of a man had a chance to pick that off i mean would have been a tremendous catch bike yard so it's third down and seven with the ball the belmont picks up another like two or three yards and let's see where they mark this looks like it's going to be at the twelve yard line at belmont so first and ten for the salem which is you definitely need a touchdown to get back in this game under ten minutes remaining here in the fourth quarter and lucas now looking at his wristband to try to a call out this way and  i'm only been in the redzone toy so far as the third it's last time they didn't make it i believe so here's lucas again working out of the shotgun tighter formation this time  got sometimes going to walk to the end zone it's caught for a touchdown for salem i don't even get was the intended receiver yeah i think lucas was trying to throw it to the man in the back of the end zone but the ball got held up in the wind and allowed the other salem receiver to make an adjustment on the far side twenty seven to eight seen as oh now right so now this is a big two point conversion because right now it's a nine point game nick and if they miss this they're going to be two scores you almost wonder if they don't try to if they have a kicker this would be a time to kick in extra points and get within eight points because then you still only need one score i mean the the risky player would be go for two and not get it and let's see if i think that's over there is he putting it up here salem does not have a kicker because once again they are in two point  probably try to kick this deeper for one thing you're kicking it into the wind and chew your all when a team and you're now down two scores and you also know that i mean you need two scores and right like you said you're going to stop the marauders either tonight do in fact keep a lot of time off the comes and jones up breaks a couple tackles and maybe get a r s there they did bring him down in the end but it looked for a second like he was going to get away and burst out for another couple of yards well you know i don't think jones is any negative gains tonight on formation christian the up back it's going to go to jones on third and six jones breaks a tackle jones makes another tackle and matt giteau slows not surprisingly i think he's going to get the first down he did a really good job getting away from pressure the line of scrimmage you never really got to full speed but it didn't matter a good job by salem's defense to read the play they still just can't bring much humans down and such smart running there by the senior captain he knew where that first down marker was as well and knew right where to get to it he needed six he got six and now we've  forty yards and that puts eleven a really big hole that might be all she wrote with seven thirty five to go here brodeur scoring thirty five points last weekend there an extra point away from getting  today will risk it will go back and they go to and score yeah i got a question the strategy you haven't want to game all year if you're salem you're already down by two scores and you kicked the ball deep i don't quite understand what the thinking was there but but hey it's all runner so it's first and ten percent on with their own twenty with seven twenty eight remaining in the marauders up by sixteen well on their way perhaps to their second wind in a row mean you know but they also have to convert twice successfully on the two point conversion assuming they can even get into the end zone twice everywheres for dancers who are now to be absolutely lupus out of the shotgun hands it off and that is a result rio i believe gets about well right exactly nick i mean that's the point i mean you just bring that up i mean normally you would be going to more of a hurry up here but they you know the fact they've got so much trouble at the other priests now moving in there you can see there was a long the huddle  succeeding out of the c f l at eighty a football league where you're allowed to do that i didn't think in high school you could i thought you had to sort of he said prior to the snap but mostly third down here for sale and you know they're going to go for it on fourth down or at least  who caught the touchdown for salem earlier in the game russia continues to be getting on for the balance evens so pick up is good enough for a salem first down all the way up to the thirty seven yard line six thirty three to go on the clock will start up once again when they win the official winds up his hand course we don't know if six thirty three is really the official time or maybe with silis gotta  more first and ten and again it's lucas work it out of a shotgun and it's a fake snap you'll roll out fire it's caught by rezaei far side and rezai zero out of bounds i think he might have got the first down after that last spin move there just outside the salem forty six yard line sixty six to go in the fourth once again lewis out of a shotgun in a jam packed formation and he'll take the snap and is going to run it laughs and he gets to midfield and actually just in the belmont territory gain of a buyout well actually you didn't need much he only needed a little bit of a yard and he got five so it's worse than ten when the clock keeps going no in the sale and you didn't really answer her you know salem down by sixteen they need two touchdowns to choose and right now they're taking their time though in the huddle clock running down tao coming up on six minutes remaining to see if their own troops again here looks like they are sure is that's been the standard formation tonight nic and here's lucas once again working out of well again you know lucas trying to throw that ball deep downfield into the wind so the ball just kind of hung up there and he gave aiello and in some of the other marauders a chance to get down there and make a play and aiello did so it's first and ten now for belmont with the ball at their own fifteen yard line and they can start just working on what's left of the clock which is only five fifty believe it or not that's probably pretty good starting place around one so they can play take the max amount of time off the clock bryce christian you know is that start to get in a little of course johnson ben jones when really well all night but to avoid you want to make sure that they stay healthy and be you want to get a little more physical with it weekend and then of course you know right then we got the big thanksgiving day game coming up in less than three weeks and of course v h s sports t v be proud to bring you the coverage of the annual belmont watertown thanksgiving day match up the wonderful robbery the nine zero urged on game the a lot of injuries in the office of a line throw the season they get a few players back they shift a few players around and they really got to go and now you know last week's win for the marauders was certainly sweet for a lot of reasons but it came on the road as chan boots the extra point to get your home crowd you're going to get a lot as year and so well this is also the marauders first home winning you've got to go back at least a couple years out right so they break along the home losing streak by you know winning here tonight very make channel hurry up and try to kick this one for it blows off that see any gets it away taken i think that's weak fall again it is weak fall turns the corner far side of still on his feet still going in close to midfield i think we're going to spot him out of bounds around the forty five of salem with three o three to go us really good starting root of or salem but at this point it kind of seems like this is a little too late for them great night tonight for the marauders off fence on the ground everyone christo bit didn't look like a completely tight spiral well the other interesting thing is here to nick is you're throwing it to the near side which literally i think the way the wind is gusting right now you're literally throwing it into the teeth of the wind and i mean if he throws it's of the far side of these three he's got a little bit of a push from the salem but you saw on the salem passing play they're still trying to throw it short before they try anything more deep christian was a really good job he fell down early on the that's what you want to see if you're the defense you just want to take and take him down for the first contact look like a lot of good pressure on a loose there but it was a design screen and sometimes it is going to see that third down in seven edition of belmont to watertown right here from harris memorial field our entire crew working hard will be here to bring you all the coverage out
