The Lovell Bulldogs lost to the Thermopolis Bobcats in this afternoon's game. This was the second round of playoff games. Thermop scored a touchdown late in the first quarter but failed on their extra point attempt. Lovell answered the Bobcat touchdown with one of their own and making their extra point to make the score 7 to 6.
At this point Lovell really had Thermop nervous and almost scored again. Mark had an interception and so did Colin McArthur and Hunter Hinckley. Our offense was unable to covert these gains into a score. The bulldogs were still in the game when Thermopolis got another touchdown in the second quarter. The bulldogs fought back and scored again with the 'heavy offense' where Mark comes off the line and then blocks for the runner. Dino ran in the TD. Anyway, the Bulldogs ended their winning streak by losing to the Bobcats 39 to 15. Thermopolis got another touchdown before the time ran out on the clock at the half to make the score 15 to 18.
Game recap from Wyopreps, "In Lovell, the Bulldogs led 7 to 6 before a 97 yard run by Bobcat QB Mitch Syverson put the Cats on top to stay. It was 18 to 15 in the third but the Bobcats shut the door with more scoring."
The score looks worse than it really was. Our defense did a great job for most of the game, aat the end they had to take some chances and some times those chances didn't pay off. Mark kept up with Kyle Pebbles who told him that he is the only person this year that has been able to stay with him. We are sad that we are not going to Laramie. That would have been awesome but we are looking forward to next season. We only lose five seniors. This year about half the team are juniors. Lots of talent next year and we should be back in the running for the State Championship. Go Bulldogs!
I apologize for the video. Mark get an interception here. He is on the far side of the field, reaches back and get a hand on the ball. The ball bounces around off of Mark and the Thermop guy and then Mark is on his back and pulls the ball in. Whew! The fun part is watching the coaches and our principal celebrate when the video goes a little crazy for a second. I hope I get better at this during wrestling season.
Here are a few more videos that Spike thinks I should include. They are of much better quality. Just keep your eye on Mark (71). I put these videos on you tube. Click on the youtube video link on the right of your screen. The quality is much better there. Slow motion it and make it full screen. In one of them Mark causes a fumble and the other one shows Mark tossing a guy while the rest of the team gets a tackle.
