EMF Downs Palmyra 60-28 in Friend

It didn’t take long for the EMF Bobcats to start spinning the scoreboard in Friend Friday night.

After three and out for the Palmyra Panthers, on second down EMF quarterback Spencer Pribyl tossed a pass to Max Zeleny who took the ball straight into the end zone for six with Mitchell Manning handling the two point conversion.

Once again the Bobcat defense put their claws out stopping the Panther offense.  The Bobcats, with the ball again, had a holding call and then a fumble recovered by Nick Hayek.  On the very next play Pribyl sent the ball into the end zone for another six points.

With four minutes left in the first quarter Pribyl handed off to Manning who ran in for another six points but the two point attempt was denied.  Palmyra got on the board with just one minutes left in the first quarter bringing the score to 20-6.

It was Edwen Baptista’s turn next with a 32 yard run and he also caught the two point conversion pass.  The Panthers turn was cut short again by the Bobcat defense and on fourth down they punted to Manning who had an incredible punt return ending up close to the 8 yard line of EMF.  Manning took it in for a touchdown bringing the score to 28-6

The Bobcats stopped the Panther run and took over on fourth down.  The first play out of the huddle had Pribyl sending the ball down to Bossaller who headed into the end zone for another six points.  Now the score was 34-6.

The Panther’s couldn’t catch any breaks but Max Zeleny managed to pick off a Koby Dillon pass and take it  home for a pick 6 bringing the lead to 40-6 with five minutes left in the first half.

Pribyl connected with Zeleny again for six points and Casey Jindra caught the two point conversion. 48 to 6 with 3:44 left in the half.

Palmyra quarterback Koby Dillon sent a ball into the endzone with Kane White catching a pass for the extra two.  New score is 48-14 and we haven’t made it to the half.  Before the half Johnny Babula got a QB sack and the first series out of the half Manning grabbed a Pribyl handoff for a 59 yard run and six points.  Pribyl’s conversion pass was batted down in the end zone. 54-14

With a running clock the Bobcat coaches sent in the second offense and defense.  At the start of the fourth quarter Palmyra scored bringing the score to 54-22 which stopped the running clock but it restarted when Manning took a Pribyl handout for six.  Palmyra scored once more but the two point conversion was intercepted by Casey Underwood in the end zone.  Final was 60-28.

EMF Bobcats Bring Home Win to Start Season

The EMF Bobcats headed south for their first game as a new team.  Although Tri-County was just a few degrees south the atmosphere Friday night felt like the team had landed straight in the deep south.  The circada were chattering, you could see the humidity in the air and the gnats, mosquitos and a muriad of other critters were flying and landing.

This didn't stop the Bobcats from stirring up some dust to leave the Trojans in starting right off with Edwen Baptista finding the end zone for six on a run just six minutes into the quarter.  The Bobcats first attempt at a two point conversion was called back on a holding penalty.

The Trojans struggled to make any yardage at all under the dominating defense of the Bobcats.  Back at it again Mitchell Manning found the end zone for six but the team could not complete the two point conversion making the score 12-0.

Mixing it up a little quarterback Spencer Pribyl tossed one right to Jackson Beethe who found the end zone.  This time the two point pass to Bossaller was complete. 20-0

The score was 28-0 before long and Bossaller dragged one down from Pribyl before being stopped at the 5 yard line.  Baptista punched it in and Pribyl completed the 2 point conversion pass to Trever Zelenka. 

Freshman Christian Weber intercepted a Trojan pass to give the ball to the Bobcats again.  With nineteen seconds left in the first half Zelenka caught a Pribyl pass in the end zone untouched.  Max Zeleny pulled down the Pribyl pass for the extra two points and the score was 44-0.

Zeleny was hot on the trail of the Trojans and recovered a Trojan fumble for a touchdown.  Manning takes the option in for two points to bring the score to 52-0 just two minutes into the second half.  

The second half went quickly for both teams with the coaching staff subbing in many of the roster giving everyone plenty of play time.  The subs played well holding the Trojans to just one score with just over a minute left in playing time and forcing them to finally punch it in on a fourth down with just half a yard to go.

The Bobcats will be in Friend Friday, Aug 31 to meet Palmyra at 7 p.m.  Tailgate at 6 p.m.
