School
HELENA TITANS 20 GLACIER 3
COLUMBIA FALLS – Skyler Johnson debuted with 105
receiving yards and a score, and Derek Burch rushed for 133 yards on 19 carries
as the once-Montana dominant, Helena Titans, took a big step forward towards a
possible play-off appearance with a big road victory over the winless, but
difficult, Glacier Knights, 20-3.
The Knights scored first,
and had their first lead of the season when Kyle Burgess connected on a 37-yard
field goal earlier in the second quarter.
The Knights would hold that lead until Johnson burned them. when with
only 37 second remaining in the half, caught a touchdown pass in tight Glacier
coverage to steal the lead from the Knights heading into the half.
The Knights, however,
stayed in the game throughout, clinging close at 6-3 until Justin Masiak scored
on a short run just past the mid-point of the 3rd quarter. A final Knight attempt to score, to close
the gap from 14-3 to perhaps 14-11, was dashed when Titan all-around athlete,
Freddie Brown, picked off a Ryan Bennett pass and raced 76 yards for a Titan
score to seal the victory.
Titan quarterback, Jacob
Pena, had his best game behind center for Helena, passing for 205 yards and a
touchdown and seemed to start getting comfortable with the Helena offense. Of
course, Burch’s 133 yards helped considerably, becoming the first Titan back in
2007 to eclipse the 100 yards rushing
milestone in a game.
To take nothing away from a
oft criticized Helena defense that “came to play”, holding the Knights to a
grand total of 50 net yards during the game.
Coming into the game, the Titans were dead last in defense, averaging
360 total net yards given up per game… and really needing a big effort to get
their confidence back heading into the second half of the season.
Spencer Steiner and Tiff
Meyers lead the Titans defense, this time in a smothering effort. Steiner recorded 9 tackles, including 1-1/2
sacks and Meyers, the teams leader coming in, recorded another 8 tackles
himself.
For the Knights, in what should
be considered a decent defensive game, giving up only 14 offensive points,
Jason Zielanski, was, once again, everywhere, getting 11 tackles, while still
playing some offense and returning kicks for the Knights.
