North Shore at Manvel - 2020 Week 8 Highlights
MANVEL LOOKING TO PULL THE UPSET OF TOP-RANKED NORTH SHORE BUT EARLY ON THE MUSTANGS OFFENSE WAS HITTING ON ALL CYLINDERS AS DEMETRIUS DAVIS, LOOKING FOR AN OPEN MAN - CAN'T FIND ANYONE BUT what he does FIND is PLENTY OF REAL ESTATE UP THE MIDDLE, ITS 14-0 NORTH SHORE AT THE END OF 1.
IN THE 2ND QUARTER, MANVEL'S GABRIEL LARRY DROPS A PERFECT PASS INTO THE WAITING ARMS OF DAVYON (Davey-on) HENDERSON TO CUT THE LEAD IN HALF TO 14-7.
THAT NORTH SHORE OFFENSE is SO EXPLOSIVE THOUGH. SHADRACH BANKS, ONE OF THE STATE'S TOP RECEIVERS IN THE WILDCAT THIS TIME. HE TAKES THE SNAP AND HURDLES A WOULD BE TACKLER AT MIDFIELD - AND THERE'S NOTHING LEFT BEHIND HIM, BANKS ELECTRIFIES THE CROWD WITH A HOUSE CALL FROM 54 YARDS OUT TO EXTEND THE MUSTANGS LEAD TO 21-7.
THEN JUST BEFORE HALFTIME, NORTH SHORE has to punt and ITS A FUMBLE - THE PIG IS GREASED AS PLAYERS from BOTH TEAMS TRY TO RECOVER - CALEB FLAGG FINALLY CORRALS IT AT THE 4 YARD LINE, A HUGE SWING OF MOMENTUM AS THE MUSTANGS IMMEDIATELY CASH IN. DEMETRIUS DAVIS ROLLING LEFT, extending THE PLAY AND FINALLY FINDS CHARLES KING FOR A BACKBREAKING TOUCHDOWN, ITS 28-7 NORTH SHORE.
NO QUIT IN MANVEL THOUGH, ON THE FINAL PLAY OF THE FIRST HALF, GABRIEL LARRY ROLLS ALL THE WAY TO THE SIDELINE AND connects with TY HARRIS BEHIND THE NORTH SHORE DEFENSE, GREAT CONCENTRATION AS HE MAKES THE CATCH, STAYS IN BOUNDS AND JUST GETS INSIDE THE PYLON TO CUT THE NORTH SHORE LEAD TO 28-14..
IN THE 2ND half DAVIS AND BANKS, AT IT AGAIN PUTTING TO REST ANY HOPES OF A MANVEL COMEBACK, NORTH SHORE ROLLS TO A 49-14 WIN TO STAY UNDEFEATED ON THE SEASON.
