Can't wait to see the film. Forrest must be a sound football team to beat Watertown. Definitely will make the drive if they rematch in the playoffs.

Well played by both teams Forrest last drive was a great drive.... Watertown missed a lot of opportunities of their own... made some mistakes coaches will coach them up and get it fixed good luck to both teams moving forward

 

So will Forrest coaches

This was billed as the game of the year in Region 4, so it deserves an epilogue. 

 

Since I did not attend, I can only summarize several phone conversations from over the weekend. 

 

- Watertown brought a huge crowd of old and young. I was told it was one of the more impressive visitor crowds they had ever seen. Loud too. 

 

- The first Watertown drive was alarmingly easy. 5-6 plays and a score. The Love kid running amok looking like he might be unstoppable, and #11 looking even better than he did a year ago. The Air Force commit looked 7 feet tall. 

 

- Forrest answered immediately which was huge. 7-7 early.

 

- But Forrest falls in a hole with a 3 and out and a turnover, and before you know it, it's 21-7.

 

- The pass that put Forrest ahead was called one of the more exciting plays you will see. 

 

- Forrest #8, #6, and #21 made the plays that mattered when they mattered. 

 

- Game ends with a monster Forrest drive that basically took 2/3 of the entire 4th quarter, had zero pass attempts, was close to 20 plays. Unstoppable.

 

In summary, for the 2nd straight Watertown starts quickly but gets physically dominated to finish the game.

 

- Last year Forrest finished the game with a 20-0 run.

- This year they finished the game with a 28-7 run.

 

Every person I spoke to with no exception said Watertown's defense was gassed beyond belief on the last drive. Cries of "uncle" could be heard emanating from the purple sideline. 

 

This is what Forrest does, has done, and will continue to do. I'm not certain how many more times Watertown's program needs to experience this from Forrest to become believers.

 

I salute the classy posts from Tiger fans. You have an extremely strong program. Best of luck the remainder of the year. I hope you found The Rock to be a fun place to watch a game. 

 

It's also good to see that the kid who got injured is going to be ok.   

 

I do have a question. Is there ANY way to see this game online anywhere? I want to see for myself.

I was also told this was Forrest's QB's best game ever. He was actually running for gains when nothing was there on pass plays, which opens an entirely new dimension up for the Forrest offense.
