Game Summary/Box Score
April 22, 2006 Great Falls Gladiators at Helena Titans @ Vigilante
Stadium
HELENA 27 GREAT FALLS 17
HELENA – After battling to a 10-10
halftime tie, the Helena Titans broke out for 17 unanswered second half points
to pull away from visiting rival, Great Falls Gladiators and grab a share of
first place in the Northern Division of the Rocky Mountain Football League.
Jeremiah Clement made the
big play after a Zack Titus field goal had given the Titans a 13-10 edge midway
through the third quarter. A poorly
executed punt snap sailed back and into the Great Falls end zone and Clement
was the first player on the scene to recover for the Helena touchdown and a
20-10 lead. The Titans would push the
lead to 27-10 after newly acquired star receiver, Eddie Sullivan hooked up with
quarterback, Rocky Hamilton for a 38-yard touchdown early in the 4th
quarter.
It was, however, the most
tightly contested contest between the state capital’s team and the state’s
currently longest running franchise in years as the game was in considerable
doubt until what may have been the back-breaking play, the Clement recovery of
the punt snap.
Helena’s newly acquired for
2005 quarterback, Jacob Pena did find more of a groove, passing for 125 yards
to bolster the passing offense that had been significantly shut down by perhaps
the best defense in the state, the Gladiators big “d”.
The Gladiators did get into
the Helena backfield early and often recording 5 sacks on Titan quarterbacks to
keep the team in the game. The Gladiator offense, however, turned in another
questionable performance with only 85 total net yards on the day against the
Helena defense.
