The Timberwolf fans were a little nervous as their team took
the ball for the first time during the season against the Kennesaw Blue Devils
especially when the first offensive drive included a T-wolf fumble.
After that little blip the Exeter-Milligan offense was on
point for the rest of the game scoring shortly into the first quarter with a
shuffle pass from QB Sam Zeleny to Dusty Axline. With a score in the books the Timberwolves
turned their attention to defense and over the next two defensive series caused
two fumbles that they recovered, capitalizing on one of those for a touchdown.
Still in the first quarter Zeleny threw a pass to Axline for
some yardage before Zeleny kept the ball to run in for the touchdown. The T-Wolfs made the extra points with a pass
from Zeleny to Jarett Maxson with 1:55 to go in the first quarter. The Exeter-Milligan crew was up by 20-0.
With the second quarter halfway down Kennesaw finally found
the end zone but the T-Wolves howled right back with Jensen breaking several
tackles loose to sail home. T-Wolves were
now on top 26-6 and never look back.
Jarett Maxson again steals the ball with 4:45 left in the
second quarter and with two minutes left Axline carries the ball in for two. Jensen breaks loose but the call is called
back for holding and the T-Wolves have to turn over the ball on fourth down..
After a half-time break the Blue Devils look like they are
coming back roaring with a score when #20 Will Gallagher snuck up the middle. The T-wolf defense stopped the PAT.
The Blue Devils must not have watched a lot of
Exeter-Milligan film as they sent a kick off straight into the arms of running
back Jensen. And, like he has shown
before, Jensen breaks several tackles loose and heads right into the end zone
with 6 more points for Exeter-Milligan.
At the end of the third quarter Blue Devil Preston Schniztle breaks
loose but is brought down before he reaches the end zone by Timberwolf
sophomore Trevor Luzum. Chesney takes it
in to score for the Kennesaw team but they miss the point after.
The fourth quarter finds the Timberwolves still leading but
giving Kennesaw a few breaks. #23 Austin Schnitzler breaks
several tackles to bring Kennesaw up to 24 still trailing Exeter-Milligan by 22
points. The Blue Devils score on a pitch
to Isaiah McChesney making the score 46-26.
The T-Wolves can’t let the Blue Devils outshine them sending
Jensen down the sideline with Axline making two key blocks on the play that
gives the Timberwolves six more points. The T-Wolves win in Kennesaw 52-26.
