Who wins Region 4?

[Spille]

Elder has been kicking every kickoff very short and X has been living in Elder territory as a result. That drive started on the Elder 48 and ends in a 27 yard FG. X leads it 17-14 with 3:34 to go.

 

[Spille]

Elder responds with a 70 yard TD drive, Luebbe connects with Voelmer for 14 yards. Elder leads 21-17, with 1:04 left in the 3rd.

Colerain still leads 14-7. No updates in a while.

 

[Spille]

Business is picking up. Rueve finds Clifford for 54 yards and X leads 24-21.

Blown coverage for Elder, they are their own worst enemy tonight. Penalty killing drives, questionable decisions on special teams, and turnovers. Amazing they are even in this game.

 

[Spille]

Colerain extends their lead to 21-7 with 0:58 to go in the 3rd.

 

[firehawk]

Freddie Johnson on a TD run. Colerain now up 21-7 on Fairfield 53 seconds left in the 3rd qtr.

 

[Spille]

Pick 6 for Colerain. They lead is 28-7. That one is about over.

 

[firehawk]

Brandon Sinclair pick 6 for Colerain. Cameron Ott extra point good 28-7 Colerain 16 seconds to go in 3rd. Colerain starting to dominate.

 

[Spille]

Elder turns away X on their own 15. They take over with 7:12 to go.

Not sure why X didn't kick the FG there.

 

[Spille]

23 yard punt for Elder. X takes over on the Elder 39. Elder really in a must stop situation here.

 

[Spille]

Elder holds again. They take over down 24-21 with 3 minutes to go.

 

[firehawk]

Fairfield drives to the 10. But a sack for a 9 yard loss pushed ball back to the 19 and on 4th down Ellis desperation pass under heavy pressure is intercepted. Fairfield used all 3 timeouts in the 3rd. Barring another Buffalo-Kent State implosion like last night where Buffalo blew a 27-6 lead with under 7 minutes left and lost on a field goal at the gun this game is over

 

[Spille]

After being held in check for 47 minutes, Luebbe breaks one and runs away from the X defense for a 70 yard TD run on 4th and 2. PAT is good. Elder leads 28-24 with 1:20 remaining.

 

[Spille]

43 seconds to go. X ball on the 50. They just converted a 4th and 10.

 

[Spille]

1st down for X on the Elder 15. 9 seconds to go. X just used their last timeout.

 

[Spille]

Colerain is final. They win 28-7.

 

[Spille]

Last chance for X falls incomplete. Great football game. Elder wins 28-24 in a game where they literally survived with the turnovers they had.

Great game! Congrats to X on a fine season.

Elder and Colerain next week, probably at Mason again in a rematch of last years regional final.
