NC only returned the kick to the 15 and now they are punting from their endzone. Punt only goes out to the 27.

NC defense stiffens. Forces a 4th and 14 but ML slices them with a great pass to the end zone. 2:13 1Q. PAT Good. 14-0 early. Theme from Top Gun playing on the Speakers …

NC returns kick to the 41. Better. Facing 3rd and 6. Intercepted. This one has the possibility of a running clock.

ML takes over at the 49. Late 1st Quarter.

1st play. 51 yard pass down the right sideline. Paydirt.
PAT Good. 21-0 still :45 1Q.

NC moves the ball but stalls in ML territory. ML finally is stopped and NC tries to get back into the game.

Nice drive by Newark Catholic. 6:53 til H. Touchdown Green Wave PAT Good. 21-7 now.

Bring this to page 6

3rd and 3 for ML and NC stuffs them. Their yardage has all been through the air at this point. ML forced to punt from their 44. NC is staying alive here. Nice job down 21-0 to a team Like Marion Local. NC takes over after a penalty at their own 40. 4:43 til H.

ML intercepts NC and has the ball on the plus 37. 4:00 til H.

Interesting that ML can’t really run the ball at all today but their passing game has been A+ and sharp.

3rd and 12 for ML at the plus 29. Pass to the 9. 1st and Goal. 1:30. QB sweep to the right takes it to the 2. Same play left takes it to the 1. 1:00 on a moving clock. 3rd and goal. Timeout :33. NC gets the ball to start the 2nd half. Kinda get that feeling this next play or two decides a great deal.

Same play again. Student Body left. Successful. :28. PAT good. 28-7 Flyers.

Halftime in the D7 Title Game. Marion Local 28 Newark Catholic 7.

NC starts at their 26 to start the 3rd. 3rd and 7 on first series. Picks up a 1st down at the 44. Can’t get another one though and punts to ML.

ML takes over at their 24 and tries to get their running game going. 5 straight running plays. 3rd and 2. 1st down. At the 46. 7:40. QB breaks one from there. 54 yard TD 7:30 3Q. PAT Good. 35-7.

NC goes 3 and out and punts to ML who returns it to the NC 39. TD Pass from 39 out. Running Clock? I’m going to take a little rest from this and get some food. 6:22 3Q. 42-
