Game Summary/Box Score
April 7, 2007 Morgan Marauders vs. Snake River Sabercats

SNAKE RIVER 14 MORGAN 0

NEW PLYMOUTH – In their third season of RMFL play, the Snake River Sabercats finally netted their first ever regular season victory by out-lasting the Morgan Marauders 14-0 in a hard fought defensive battle in New Plymouth, Idaho.

The much maligned Sabercats defense rose to the occasion in the team’s home opener, holding the Marauders to only 205 total net yards, including a -1 net passing yards as the Marauder passing game was completely shut down in the game.

Cody Bates and Tyler Collingwood lead the Sabercat offense with Collingwood leading all players with 74 rushing yards on 9 rushes from the quarterback position, including a key 2-point conversion to put the Sabercats ahead comfortably 14-0 in the second quarter.  All of the other scoring was done by Bates, as Bates capped a late first quarter drive with a 5-yard run and then caught a short touchdown toss from Collingwood near the end of the first half which turned out to be all the points the Sabercats would need to snag their first of what they hope will be many victories in 2007.

The Marauders offense had rushing success, getting 207 rushing yards on 46 attempts.  New to the Marauders, Tyson Katoa rushed for 51 yards on 18 carries, however, it was Chris Carpenter who rushed 8 times for 50 yards that seemed to impress the most on the new look Marauder offense.  Morgan’s new quarterback, Russell Eustice struggled to pass, but did rush for another 47 yards on 15 carries in the game.

The Sabercat defense was lead by a couple of stars from 2005. Roger Gonzalez recorded 6 tackles, including a sack and Brett Smith chipped in for 5-1/2 to lead the Sabercats to their first shutout ever.

Morgan’s defense proved up to the task as well, containing a potent Snake River offense, including 5 red zone stops, lead by Ronnie Wiggle, who had 6 tackles on the game.  The Marauders also benefited by the addition of a couple of Bear River Valley transfers as James (4 tackles) and Luke (1 tackle) Eyre proved valuable, albeit in a losing cause.
