2007 AA Playoffs
June 16, 2007 Idaho Matadors vs. Bear River Valley Rockets @ South Cache Junior
High
BEAR RIVER VALLEY 38
IDAHO 19
HYRUM – The Bear River Valley Rockets
survived a bit of a scare from the Visiting Idaho Matadors, however, recovered
from a 13-7 deficit to score 31 unanswered points after the midway point of the
second quarter to survive a 38-19 quarterfinal playoff victory over the Idaho
Matadors.
After an early drive
culminated in a 45-yard touchdown pass to Marvin Mays, the Matadors caught
lightening in a bottle as Anthony Pomerlee broke an 80-yard touchdown run
shortly after to knot the game back up at 7-7 Mays and Pomerlee would go on to
become the respective offensive stars for each team. Pomerlee would rush for 161 yards in the game… and,
co-incidentally, Mays would go on to catch 5 passes for… 161 yards. Mays, however, would convert 3 of his
receptions into touchdowns, perhaps the difference in the game.
After the early flurry of
scores, the teams shut each other out for the next 15+ minutes of playing
time. Midway through the second
quarter, Idaho’s Tom Bennett, would connect with Javon Lincoln for a 3-yard
scoring pass to give the Matadors their first lead of the season over the
Rockets.
It was short-lived,
however.
Just over a minute later,
Mays would strike again, this time from 50-yards out and the conversion would
give the Rockets a narrow 14-13 lead; a lead they would never relinquish. Rocket quarterback, Mike Jenkins, was nearly
perfect in the game. Jenkins passed for
294 yards and 4 touchdowns with only 1 incompletion and no interceptions as he
was in rare form.
Jenkins other touchdown
pass went to running back, Dave Williams… the Rockets other big offensive star
of the game. With just under a minute
to go in the half, once again, Jenkins connected from the 50-yard line and
Williams “took it to the house”. Williams
would go on to gain 141 total yards from scrimmage (54 receiving, 87 rushing)
and two scores (1 rushing). After a
quick turnover, Bryan Freeman would nail a 42-yard field goal as the half
expired and the Rockets would carry a slightly more comfortable, 24-13 lead
into the half.
The Matadors would hang
tough, however. For the entire 3rd
quarter and some of the 4th, the Rockets held close and kept the
high-powered Rocket offense out of the end zone. It was not until Mays’ third
touchdown reception with 11:10 go in the game that broke the scoring drought
and secured ultimate victory for the Rockets.
With the victory, the Rockets
earn a trip into the Bitterroot mountains of Montana for a date with the
undefeated Bitterroot Blaze… set for Saturday, June 23rd at 7:00 p.m.
