Thoughts on the Game
Trevor Wilson (RHS Offensive Line Coach) - Thinking back on this game, there are several things that jump out. The first is the weather. It was a great/horrible night to play football. Driving rain and wind made an already pre-game saturated field even sloppier. A sophomore Tim Sergi really stepped up and played well in the first half for an injured Marcus Nalley. It was a foreshadowing of what was to come in the state game. It seems to me that RHS dominated the game in the first half but was frustrated to go into the half with only a 10 point lead. East Central came out like a team possessed in the second half, stifling the Rebel offense and moving the ball on their D. EC put together a great drive at the end of the game to score the tieing field goal. There was an iffy pass interference call to keep that drive alive, but another close no call in the endzone a few plays later. David Oechsle came up huge with the interception in the end zone to end the OT and game.
