Coastside Cougar Midgets Bust Bayside Broncos
Fantastic fall weather kept the sun shining on the Cougar Midgets as they remain undefeated, beating the Bayside Broncos 27 to 0 at last Sunday’s game.
Just minutes into the first quarter defensive end Sergio Covarrubias tackled the Bronco’s running back deep on their 4 yard line. The Cougars took control with less than 16 yards to score. Quarterback Nate Seaton scored on a sneak and the sure foot of kicker Chewy Huerta Jr. gave the Cougars an early lead of 8-0. Defender Austin Krieger made a deep tackle on the kickoff, forcing the Broncos 1st down at the 24 yard line.
The Broncos couldn’t get traction and tried a pass on the 4th down. The pass was complete except they weren’t expecting the lightning speed tackle of Cougar cornerback Timma Cruz who knocked the ball out of the receivers hands on the tackle, forcing the Broncos to punt it away. The Cougar Midgets Offense quarterback Nate Seaton, running backs Chewy Huerta Jr. and Blake Kastl, center Dalton James, tight ends Taylor James and Joey Erdie, guards Neal Seaton and Jose Uribe, and tackles Sean McCaffrey, Will Smith, and Matt Young precisely carried out two sweep plays resulting in the second touchdown with the PAT.
Broncos tried hard but were jammed by the Cougar Defense. Marshall Egger and Joseph Lowman made very aggressive tackles turning over the ball to the Cougars in just four plays. With less than a minute left in the first quarter quarterback Joey Erdie got instructions from Offensive Coach Dave Gibbs to do the boot leg. Erdie hid the ball on this right hip and carried 45 yards to score the third touchdown with the PAT combination bringing the score to Cougars 24, Broncos 0.
The second quarter was highlighted by some greats blocks by Taylor James, Sean McCaffrey, Patrick Meyers, Austin Krieger and Jacob Spaeth, allowing running backs Joseph Lowman and Irving Segura to make some nice up the middle running plays. A short pitch by quarterback Nate Seaton to running back Chewy Huerta Jr. gave the Cougars about 15 yards and put the Cougars close, but short.
The third quarter brought out more great tackles by Palmer Kennedy, Neal Seaton, Manny Arellanes, Jose Uribe, Erik Procopio and Joseph Lowman. In almost a repeat play of the first quarter, defender Sergio Covarrubias sacked the Bronco quarterback turning over the ball at the 15 yard line. Joseph Lowman then carried the ball to well within kicking range, making it a breeze for Cougar kicker Chewy Huerta Jr. to kick the ball through the uprights for a final score of 27 to 0.
