Hurricane Big Plays Beat PHS 42-30
In a game of big plays, Hurricane found a way to make the last two big ones and wound up beating Parkersburg 42-30 on Big Reds’ homecoming night at Stadium Field.
After PHS had taken a 30-27 lead with 3:59 left in the third quarter on a great second effort touchdown run by Bryson Singer, the Big Reds got a break with a fumble recovery by Alex Deem on the Hurricane 45 yard line. But two plays later PHS returned the favor with a lost fumble of its own that Hurricane’s Brogan Brown returned 65 yards for a touchdown with 2:17 on the clock.
A nifty two-point conversion pass gave the Redskins a 35-30 lead and after swapping fumbles, PHS was forced to punt and Hurricane started from its own 20 with 9:57 left in the game. Three plays later Ismael Borrero made the game’s biggest play with a scrambling 56 yard touchdown run to put the visitors up 42-30 after the extra point kick.
The next PHS possession ended with an interception at the Hurricane 38 and although the Big Reds got the ball back on a fumble recovery and return of 30 yards to the PHS 32 by Andrew Stalnaker it was too little, too late as PHS was able to pick up just one first down before turning the ball over on downs with 12 seconds left to play.
Singer finished with three touchdowns, two rushing and one receiving, while running for 148 yards on 23 carries and making four receptions for another 44 yards. He joined Xadrian Snodgrass to give the Big Reds two 100-yard rushers in the game. Snodgrass, returning after an extended absence due to an injury, ran for 103 yards on 22 carries and caught four passes for 29 yards.
Hurricane, now 3-3 while PHS falls to 2-4, had three rushers with between 65 and 81 yards including Borrero with 72 on six carries and two scores. Borrero, who threw for seven touchdowns last year against PHS, completed 10 of 12 passes for 236 yards and two scores and had three completions to three different receivers that totaled between 43 and 55 yards. In all the Redskins had four plays of over 40 yards and finished with 498 yards on 41 plays.
PHS had 400 yards in total offense and ran 80 plays while controlling the ball for nearly 11 minutes more than Hurricane. The Big Reds lost another standout to injury when Zach Howard left the game early in the second quarter after already racking up four solo and one assisted tackle.
Hurricane scored first on a 43-yard pass to J.T. James with 2:36 left in the first quarter but the Big Reds took the lead early in the second when Singer scored on a two yard run to cap a 10-play, 72-yard drive and Casey Stanley’s extra point put PHS up 7-6.
A 45-yard pass to Heath Montgomery set up Hurricane’s second touchdown, a 19-yard pass to Lucas Rippetoe. The two-point conversion pass to Rippetoe made it 14-7 Hurricane.
The Big Reds then drove to the Redskins five yard line for a first and goal but a six-yard loss forced a 27 yard field goal try that was short.
A 55-yard pass and run play to Brown set up Hurricane’s third TD, a 16 yard run by Borrero. The PAT made it 21-7 with 4:37 left in the half.
The Big Reds were able to answer with a fourth down eight yard touchdown pass from David Parsons to Singer with 44 seconds left before the half. On the extra point try, holder Singer had to toss the ball back to Stanley, who passed to Snodgrass for the two-point conversion and a 21-15 score.
Stanley gave PHS the lead just 21 seconds later when he scooped up a Hurricane fumble and raced 84 yards for a touchdown and then kicked the extra point to make it 22-21 in favor of the Big Reds at the half.
A 45-yard run by Nasjaih Jones of Hurricane put the visitors up 27-22 midway through the third quarter but Singer gave the Big Reds the lead back when he went 17 yards to score by breaking one tackle and diving for the pylon. He set up his TD run with a 45 yard run on the first play from scrimmage following Jones’ touchdown. PHS went for two points after that run and Parsons found Austin Fleming in the back of the end zone for a 30-27 lead with just less than four minutes to play in the quarter.
