Game Summary/Box Score
April 28, 2007 Morgan Marauders at Idaho Matadors @ Nampa Christian School

IDAHO 43 MORGAN 6

NAMPA – The Idaho Matadors, formerly a competitive AAA team of the RMFL, demoted in the off-season, took a big step forward Saturday, picking up their first win in 2007, downing the undermanned Morgan Marauders 43-6 at Nampa Christian School in Nampa, Idaho.

The Matadors were dominant on both offense and defense, out-pointing the visiting Marauders by 36 and out-gaining Morgan 415 yards to 62 in the contest… however, for a quarter, the scrappy Marauders held close.

After a scoreless almost 20 minutes of football, the Matadors would finally score on a 5-yard interception return for touchdown by Brady Warfield as the Matadors had been winning the field position battle throughout, finally getting their first score on defense.  Shortly after, Jarod Briggs, replacing the injured Tom Bennett at quarterback, connected on the first of his 3 touchdowns on the day, a 32-yard score to Chris Bailey to push the lead to 14-0 midway through the second.

As the game wore on, the Matadors were just too much for the Marauders, who were playing the 3rd of 3 consecutive road games in western Idaho; the toughest 3-game stretch of any of the AA level teams.

It was, however, the Matador rushing game that truly highlighted the show, getting 319 yards rushing on 39 attempts in the game. Anthony Pomerlee lead the way with 136 yards on 20 carries and a touchdown. Not to be outdone, Mylan Miller, rushed for almost that much (115 yards) on ½ of the carries (10) and another touchdown.

The stifling Matador defense recorded 5 total quarterback sacks and no Matador defender recorded more than 4 tackles as the Marauders were unable to have too much success with constant backfield pressure from the Idaho defensive front.  Only an 85 yard catch and run by Tom Wright kept the Marauder offense in the black, a play that set up the lone Marauders score, a 9-yard scramble by Morgan quarterback, Russell Eustice.

Eustice, one of the several “iron man” players in the game, also was a leader on defense with 6 tackles, eclipsed only by Luke Eyre, who recorded 8 tackles, including a quarterback sack in the game.
