It was an ugly game at Turner Stadium last Friday, but the La Porte Bulldogs found a way to pull out a 26-7 win over the Atascocita Eagles. Thank you to Lance Johnson for attending and giving out updates! Follow him on twitter @LPdogLJhookem.
The game started with a good drive from La Porte and Junior Running Back Keith Whitely (16 carries, 91 yards) capped it off with a 21 yard touchdown run early in the first quarter. After a few back and forth possessions La Porte was intercepted by in their own territory and Atascocita mad them pay with a 35 yard touchdown pass from Grant Ashcraft to Jemarcus Jones. The rest of the half featured two Junior Kicker Eric Medina field goals, a 42 and a 34 yarder. At halftime the score was La Porte 13 Atascocita 7.
The second half came and went with the La Porte Defense completely shutting down the Atascocita offense. On the night the Eagles only had 2 first downs and 80 total yards. La Porte's offense was having a hard time getting much going as well, but finally broke through in the 4th quarter with Senior Quarterback Josh Vidales taking the ball himself for a 23 yard touchdown with ten minutes left. The Bulldogs finally seemed to wear down Atascocita's defense and a good drive was capped off with a 1 yard Chad Sutherland touchdown.
La Porte's defense came into the game without standout Junior Nosetackle Corey Lee. The defensive ends Senior Blake Turlington and Junior Alex Jones stepped up in his absence and the Bulldogs D did not miss a beat. Atascocita abandoned their running game in the second half and La Porte put so much pressure on the Eagles offense they could not get anything going.
Atascocita had more penalties yards marked off then they had on offense 102 yards in penalites and only 80 of offense. La Porte needs to work on stopping all of these penalties as well as they had 11 penalties for 120 yards marked off. Make these mistakes against teams like Deer Park and they will make you pay.
Speaking of, it's DEER PARK WEEK!
