Game Summary/Box Score
April 15, 2006 Pocatello Predators at Idaho Matadors @ Kuna Junior High
School
IDAHO 9 POCATELLO 7
KUNA – There was a time when both Tom
Bennett and Sheridan Hodson were languishing on the
sideline for the Boise Roughriders… watching other players “get it done” in
front of them. Saturday, Bennett and Hodson came through in spades as the Idaho Matadors upset
the Pocatello Predators 9-7 in Kuna, Idaho.
Bennett, who is also the
Matadors offensive coordinator, finally went in for the struggling young
quarterback, James Clumpf who had tossed two
interceptions and had been ineffective throughout the game. With just more than 8 minutes to go in the
game, and the Matadors down 7-3, Bennett entered and engineered an 88-yard
drive which included a 48-yard strike to Hodson and
ended with an 8-yard touchdown completion to Hodson to
give the Matadors the 9-7 lead… which held up for the final 6 minutes of the
game.
The Predators passing
offense was significantly hampered by crosswinds that ranged between 30 and 40
miles per hour. The Matadors stacked up against the rush and stifled the
Predators rushing attack to just over 3 yards per carry. The Predators were also hampered by a number
of miscues and dropped passes that could have secured a bigger lead.
For the Matadors, Wesley Zedalis, may end up becoming a budding star in the league. Zedalis rushed for 18 yards, caught 2 passes for 22, and
kicked what would turn out to be the deciding field goal, a 27-yarder through
the crosswinds in the second quarter that would give the Matadors the 3-0
halftime edge.
The Predators missed a 27-yard field goal of their own which could have won the game for them.
