Friday was another great night for football at Ensworth High School; everyone wearing pink to raise breast cancer awareness, all the students getting ready for homecoming house competitions and some familiar faces came to visit for the school's third homecoming weekend. Like most schools, Ensworth scheduled the division's whipping boy for homecoming and won convincingly.
There were two story lines that were evident in this game, the first was Ensworth's defense. The Tiger defense held JPII to a game total of 99 yards on offense. The defense forced 7 punts and gave up only 6 first downs. As Ensworth's lead increased more underclassmen and 2nd team players entered the line up. Sophomores Anthony Batey and Cody Pack both made a big impact on defense with tackles for loss. But on Offense it was sophomore QB Andrew Bowers who made the big jump on to the varsity, Andrew did not complete a pass but had a few good runs outside the pocket.
The second storyline is once again, Corn Elder. Corn rushed for 146 yards on only 11 carries. He had 3 TDs one on a 73 yard run. Drew Parker also had a solid game at QB, Parker passed for a career high 289 yards on 9/16 attempts. Cory Batey led all receivers with 81 yards receiving on 4 catches. Rico Watson had 49 yards receiving on 2 catches, one went for 36 yards and a TD.
JPII scored on the last play of the game with a 16 yard TD pass from Tanner Hale as time expired.
Ensworth will travel to Father Ryan to take on the Fighting Irish next Friday.
