Game Summary/Box Score
June 9, 2007 Missoula Phoenix at Glacier Knights @ Columbia Falls High School

MISSOULA 44 GLACIER 0

COLUMBIA FALLS – After scoring quickly on a Gavin Johnson touchdown run, the Missoula Phoenix were held scoreless for almost another full quarter before getting three second quarter scores to pull away from the home town Glacier Knights on their way to a 44-0 victory to close out the 2007 regular season.

Coming into the game, the Missoula Phoenix were locked into the #2 seed of the Northern Conference, so the game with the winless Knights was to be no more than a tune-up for their first round playoff opponent (which later turned out to be the Great Falls Gladiators), as they did treat the game accordingly.

The Phoenix gave starting quarterback, Shane Jurasek’s back up plenty of reps in this game, and Steve Biggs responded with a nice game, including 2 second quarter touchdown passes to Tyler Boaz and Sheldon McCool.  Star tailback, Gavin Johnson, even tossed a touchdown pass on a halfback option play to Nick Lumpkin on the final play of the half to give the Phoenix a comfortable 25-0 halftime lead.

The score remained 25-0 for most of the 3rd quarter until Missoula captured lightening in a jar when Brian Hughes and Zach Thompson returned almost successive interceptions for touchdowns to put the game on ice.

The Phoenix defense was MORE than solid in this game, however, heading into the tilt with the truly offensive-challenged Gladiators.  The Phoenix forced 10 turnovers in the game, including 7 interceptions!!  Glacier quarterback, Jesse Appelt just had an abysmal day, tossing a new AA record 6 interceptions in the game.  He was only able to complete 4 passes (of 16 attempts) to his own receivers. 

Kevin Bereta lead the Missoula defense with 7 tackles, including 3 quarterback sacks as the Glacier offense was held to only 64 total net yards.  Nick True and Stephen Schreibeis also had 7 tackles and Brian Hughes tied the AA record, getting 3 of the interceptions for the Phoenix.

For the Solid Glacier defense, Jason Zielanski, finished another great season with 8-1/2 tackles on defense as well as contributing as the primary running back on offense. Also, Eric Bachofner also had 4-1/2 tackles and an interception for the home team cause.
