Last Match-Up

An opening drive touchdown was all it took for the Seahawks to hang on and defeat Parker 8-6 in Week 4 action last season in Bridgewater.

The Pheasants connected on a 29 yard pass on the first play of the game to get them down to the BEE 40 yard line, but turned the ball over on downs 4 plays later. The Seahawks took over on their own 35 yard line and took nearly the rest of the quarter to go 65 yards over 17 plays. Gustafson scored on a 2 yard run with 1:58 left in the opening quarter to take a 8-0 lead. The Seahawks forced a punt on the Pheasant's next drive and it looked like BEE was ready to lengthen their lead after Gustafson completed a 28 yard pass to Holden Wollman that took the Seahawks down to Parker's 4 yard line. Two penalties in a row set BEE back to the 19 yard line and the Seahawks threw an incomplete pass on 4th down to give Parker the ball back a few minutes into the 2nd quarter. The Pheasants then went on a 10-play 86 yard drive that was capped off by a Michael Even 11 yard TD run to make the score 8-6 as we headed into the half.

Defense reigned supreme in the 2nd half as both teams mustered a mere 50 yards of offense combined. The Seahawks threatened to score early in the half as they drove down to the Parker 13 yard line, but lost 8 yards the next two plays and threw incomplete passes on 3rd and 4th down to give the Pheasants the ball back. Parker's only scoring threat in the 2nd half came with 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter. After a BEE punt, the Pheasants Ray Travnicek returned it 37 yards to the Seahawk 22 yard line.
