Big Piney High School Football
Final: Big Piney Punchers 0 - Cokeville Panthers 12
September 8, 2006

Coach Joel Eskelsen Comments:

Very much a defensive ballgame. Both teams played well on the defensive sides.
The difference in the game was consistent play and penalties. Big Piney made some mental errors on coverages, and the penalties at bad times helped Cokeville sustain drives and, more importantly, control the ball.

Cokeville pretty much controlled the line of scrimmage with good end play and linebacker blitzes.

Offensively, it was a disappointing performance. Although we outgained Cokeville, little mistakes and missed assignments hurt the Red all day. The passing started to come around although we had a number of dropped passes. For the day Brett Moffat was 7 of 21 for 97 yds. Gary Phillips completed 1 of 2 for 9 yds. Seth Linn caught 4 for 75 yds and Mike Forrester hauled in two for 20 yds. Linn was the leading rusher with 63 yds on 15 carries.

The defense was still a bright spot but some missed tackles and assignments hurt our chances with a number of defensive penalties also damaging. Seth Linn and Trevor Wilson again led the stats with both over 15 tackles each. Wilson also had the only turn-over with a late interception.

Next up for the Punchers is a homecoming visit to Pinedale for the 1:30 game this Friday. The Punchers look to rebound off this last performance as they enter conference play.
