GV Football - Playoff Game 2 vs Central Bucks West

Our round 2 playoff game in District 1, AAAAAA, was against the 8th seed, Central Bucks West. As the #1 seed, we had another home game.

CBW stunned the home crowd with a 2 play, 70+ yard TD drive, capped by a TD pass accounting for almost all of that yardage.

GV responded with a TD drive capped by a 10 yard TD pass to Joey Halloran. 7-7 game.

After a CBW INT and a subsequent GV punt, CBW reeled off a 40 TD run on the 1st play of their drive, and missed the extra point to lead 13-7 at the end of the 1st quarter.

To start the second quarter we had a punt followed by them having a punt.

GV then had a drive with a huge Sean Gallagher 14 yard pass reception on 4th down to continue the drive ending in a 5 yard Shane Reynolds TD run.

CBW punted on the following drive, and as band parents sitting in the stands, one of the other parents turned to me and asked "do you think we can score with only 39 seconds to go in the half?"

"Hold my beer".

After an incomplete pass, and with 33.3 seconds remaining in the half, Shane Reynolds took a center handoff and cut back to the right side and raced 57 yards to the end zone. 21-13 GV. Scoring drive: ~12 seconds. 

Reynolds goes for 57 yards, 33 seconds in the half

To start the second half, GV took the kickoff and reeled off a 76 yard drive, culminating in a 2 yard TD run by Reynolds, his third of the night. GV 28-13.

After a short CBW punt, GV had a 1 play drive: a 47 TD run by Reynolds, his 4th of the night. GV 34-13.

And the band played "And when the Saints go marching in". For the 80th or 90th time this year. I've lost count at this point... Go band!

CBW ended the 3rd quarter and into the 4th quarter with a drive that ended with a 4th and goal at the 1.5 yard line. We stuffed them at the one-half yard line, and took over on downs.

We then embarked on a 99.5 yard, 6 and a half minute drive capped by a Ryan Saunders 1 yard TD run.

41-13 Jags, and we ran out the clock on defense.

#8 Central Bucks West down, next week number 5 Quakertown up, in another home game.

Shane Reynolds had near 200 yards and 4 touchdowns on the night.

Band season isn't over yet!!
