Quarterfinal Playoffs: #1 BTW vs. #9 Edmond Deer Creek

Friday night showed that Booker T. Washington has all the right players and chemistry to win a second championship and three years. A great game by the Hornets led to an 23-0 victory. The score does not really convey the dominance that present, but the stats did. Deer Creek never even got close to scoring and they were only able to manage less then 140 yards of total offense. Throughout the entire game the running lanes were shut down by the line led by Derrick Alexander and Dillon O'Carroll and re enforced by the solid secondary. From the beginning until the end, Deer Creek's offense looked unorganized and sloppy, but give a lot of credit to the Hornet Defense. Two key starters returned for the offense quarterback Jordy Albert and running back Isaac Bennett who played well. The offense and Albert looked a little rusty a first throwing an early interception and unable to do much on offense, but the second quarter Isaac Bennett took over. His 48 yard run to put BTW up 7-0 was one to put on the highlight tape, as he broke tackles, cut back and gave one of the meanest stiff arms I have ever seen to last defender. This was the spark that ignited the points as later before half Albert connected with receiver Dante Barnett to go up 14 yards at half. Another Bennett score and a late field goal by Dylan Seibert would end the scoring. This would a good all around game, not as high scoring as in the past couple of weeks but still a solid game by the whole team. This is the Hornets seventh shut out in nine games, the dominance continues and do not look for it to stop.
Player of the game: This week their were two outstanding performances. Returning from injury he had 152 yards on 14 carries and 2 scores. He seemed unstoppable and almost had several long touchdown runs. This is what happened in only 3 quarters of play as he seemed to re injure his ankle on his last touchdown run. Him behind that strong offensive line is scary, I do not think their is a team in the state that could stop him. Senior offense and defensive lineman Dillon O'Carroll also had a great game on both sides of the ball. On offense he opened holes for the run game and was a big factor in why that was successful. On defense he recorded 14 tackles and 3.5 sacks. His play has been solid all season long and has dominated opposing lineman and offenses.
