Things were looking good for SK early on as Mikey Krallman blocked a Boone County punt on the Rebels’ first possession, scooped up the pig skin stumbled into the endzone for a touchdown. SK up 6-0. Boone would get on the board with an offensive TD to go up 7-6. Boone would follow special teams suit as they also blocked a punt that went back for 6. When was the last time you saw two blocked punts go for touchdowns in the same game? Boone would get another TD before the intermission to go out to a commanding 21-6 lead. SK’s defense was strong in the second half limiting the Rebels to just a field goal.
Now for the tough reality: the Pioneers have only scored one offensive touchdown in the last 14 quarters and they were completely shutout for the second week in a row. The last offensive touchdown was against Ryle and was also was set-up by another punt block by Krallman that took SK deep into Ryle territory setting up a very short field. SK scored 5 touchdowns in the opening game of the season against Casey County but have only scored 4 in the last 6 games. The Neers are just in a funk right now and just can’t seem to get out of it. On the bright side, the defense is really playing pretty well but is just out on the field logging serious minutes.
SK will entertain Dixie Heights next Friday night in the last District Game of the season. Dixie has been struggling lately as they were drilled by Campbell County tonight.
