Game Summary/Box Score
May 12, 2007 Missoula Phoenix at Helena Titans @ Capital High School

MISSOULA 29 HELENA 0

HELENA – Shane Jurasek threw for 3 touchdown passes against his old team and the Missoula Phoenix turned what used to be a tense, bitter, rivalry into a comfortable 29-0 victory over the Helena Titans in Helena, Montana.

After Phoenix star running back, Gavin Johnson broke loose on a 20-yard touchdown scamper early in the game, most of the rest of the Phoenix offense came through the air and Jurasek’s right arm.  He would go on to complete 14 of 23 for 188 as the Titans defense played fairly well, holding the Phoenix high-octane offense to only 245 total net yards, including 4 quarterback sacks.

The Missoula defense, however, was even more on top of their game, holding the Titans to 181 total net yards and getting 6 turnovers (4 interceptions, 2 fumble recoveries) while their offense did not have any turnovers… a very significant difference in an otherwise tightly contested game in the capital city of Montana.

Gavin Johnson would go on to catch a Jurasek touchdown toss to go with his rushing score and lead all players with 83 total net yards, 59 rushing and 24 receiving.

Helena’s Derek Burch, however, would have a very solid day rushing out of the Titan backfield; gaining 72 yards on 13 carries for an excellent 5-1/2 yard per carry average as the Titan offense did have some success, however, were simply unable to overcome some solid defensive stops… and a half a dozen turnovers.

Bud Maynard, Stephen Schreibeis, James Decoutau and Jeff Hecht lead the Phoenix defense with 4 tackles each as Missoula remained undefeated heading into their big showdown with fellow unbeaten northern conference foe, Bitterroot on May 19th.

As usual, Tiff Meyers and Spencer Steiner lead the Titan defense with 8 tackles each, however, the Titans were just unable to contain the Jurasek-lead passing game enough to challenge for victory.
