9-11 yr. old Packers fall 6 inches short in loss.

What a game! the Packers were out to avenge an earlier loss to the Redskins and came within 6 inches of accomplishing the goal. Both teams offenses moved the ball but key stops on both sides kept the score low. The Redskins, in almost an exact replay of the first play from scrimmage of the last time, reversed the ball and gained 40 yds. stopped momentarily on a saving tackle Grant Tiarks. The Redskins punched it in one play later for a 0-6 lead. Hunter Beard gained 25 yds on 2 runs on the Packers first possession but the drive stalled. The defense then came up big forcing a safety on the Redskins for a 2-6 score. The ensuing offensive set had a Grant Tiarks reverse for 10 yds, followed by Steven Cutler's 30 yd TD run around the left side for a 8-6 lead, PAT failed. The Redskins moved the ball right back down the field the next possession stopped on a nice play by Cole Ozbun on a reverse and an interception and 30 yd run back buy Grant Tiarks. The Redskins held on D and then ripped off a 40 yd. run to take back the lead 8-12. The second half saw the Redskins build on their lead on an unfortunate play as Wes Greder made a spectacular leaping deflection of a pass that nestled into the arms of a shocked Redskin player who turned and rambled 40 yds. for a 8-18 score. PAT failed. The Packer offense came right back with a Grant Tiarks sweep left for 10 yd, Grant T. sweep right for 5yd., Grant T. 15 yd pass reception from Wes Greder for 1st down. A Grant T. 19 yd catch from Wes Greder to the 1 yd line and then a Grant T. 1yd TD run for a 14-18 score. With 4:00 remaining the Packers needed a 4 and out to have a chance and that's just what they got on agreat defensive stand. The Packers offense then had a 20 yd. Cole Ozbun run, a 10 yd. Cole Ozbun run right, Coach Jamison called a quick timeout with less than a minute left. Cole O. gained 10 more on a middle run, followed by another timeout leaving about 15 seconds remaining. Cole O. then took a handoff to the left side jumping and spinning into the endzone, but had his flag pulled off at the 6 inch line. The Packers hustled to get off one last play but time expired before they could get it off. Both teams played an excellent game and both gave it their all. The Packers will be looking for that elusive first win in a make-up game Thursday night against the Colts @ 7:00
