11th Marine Cannon Cockers

When TSB stepped on to the 43 Area Field on Monday they saw an 11th Marines team with a roster 2 times more than thiers and a 4-0 record under their belt. Any normal team would have been worried, but not TSB they came to play. Even though the 11th Marines pushed them around the field and had no trouble putting up two first half TD's and moveing the ball at will, TSB still kept their heads up and gave the cannon cockers a run for thier money in the second half in a 14-8 loss to the Power House Cannon Cockers who remain undefeated. 11th Marines got on the board first on their intial drive, after four plays pounding up the middle cannon cocker QB Steven Phelps rolled out left on a play action to find a wide open Quinton Bell for a 17 yard TD. The next TD came in the second half on a 10 yard pass from Phelps to TE Javier Rivera and James Russell tacked on the 2-point conversion on a blast to the left side. That made the score 14-0, the Cannon Cockers had a few more chance's at the end zone before the half but Phelps couldnt failed to hit his marks. The second half was more of the same, with the defense burying the TSB running game they decided to go to the pass and on the play TSB QB rolled right and let a pass fly down the sideline to a streaking WR, CB Kenneth Pless blew coverage and the ball was now on the 11th Marines 5 yard line. On the ensueing play the QB made a quick drop and a fired a strike to his WR for a TD, and that was followed by a 2-point conversion. "We missed our mark on some TD's," Cannon Cocker Coach Jacob Puda said of his team second half scoring drought,"I was never worried the whole game until they scored, they definately came to play, I think with a little practice they will be a heck of a team. It was an ugly win today but i'll take it." TSB drops to 0-2 on the year with the loss, and 11th Marines improve and now sit a top the league at 4-0 and will face Mag-39 next thursday at 1700 on the 11 Area Field in a championship rematch. Mag nocked of 11th Marines twice last year at the best of the west and the title game but the Cannon Cockers managed to give Mag its only loss of last year. When asked if he was worried about Mag this year all Puda had to say was," I'm not concering myself with them, Shep(Mags Coach) is more worried about us then we are about them and he should be. This time it's personal"
