This is nerve racking just like the games when Zak & Kyle were playing

Final score 36-35. For those who bought a ticket to this game, you need to donate more money because you got way more than your monies worth tonight. Game was tied and then Adamsville pulled out to a 16 point lead. TCA was gased and dead in the water when they found new life. TCA started cutting into the lead. It became a one point game 36-35. TCA went for 2. Lions threw a pass to the corner of the end zone . WR catches the ball with one hand one each side of the ball as it hit the ground. Official ruled incomplete though. Even if replay were available to refs, there probably was not enough to over turn if rules allowed. It was so close and I had benefit of watching replay several times during broadcast. It was just so close and could have gone either way. After Lions closed to within 1, they tried a second onside kick but The Ville recovered. They marched downfield and TCA picked off a pass in the end zone. TCA got the ball at the 20 with just over a minute remaining. Lions roared and started marching down the field running "Big Ben". TCA moved the ball 40 yards in under a minute and had ball on Adamsville 40 with 2 seconds remaining. TCA kicker has kicked 55 yards in practice. It would have been a school record had we attempted the 57 yard er. We opted for the hail Mary because our long snapper, #3, shredded his knee early in the game and was unavailable to snap the ball for the attempt. The TCA last ditch pass fell short and the Cardinals hold on to win another epic battle with TCA. 

Unofficial stats show AJ Finley had over 160 yards rushing for Adamsville.  Kid was a beast.  TCA qb Butler throws for around 350 yards and 2 players over 100 yards each recieving. Freshman rb  Thompkins rushed for over 140 yards and catche's passes for almost 110 yards for 250 total offense. Waller with 10 catches for around 150. 

There simply could not have been a more exciting game anywhere in the state then there was at TCA on Friday.  I am honored I got to help call the game on the video stream. Very few games will ever match what I got to broadcast tonight. Both teams played hard.  I am sadly afraid that the knee injury suffered by TCA player #3 is very serious and he is most likely done for the year

Hope sunrise brings better news for #3.  Prayers for a speedy recovery.  Great battle by both teams.

Agree Reitz!  Outstanding game on both sides.  TCA was playjng with mostly freshmen and sophs so their future is really bright.  I think Aville was pretty young as well. Findley was a beast and difficult for TCA to tackle.  Aville didn’t have an answer for Waller at receiver.  He’s an all state caliber player with his height, speed and leaping ability.  Tompkins is Goldsmith 2.0!  Aville fans, he’s only a freshman!

For those who might be interested, here is a replay of the video stream from Friday's gut wrenching game between TCA and Adamsville.  Myself and Dave McCulley have the call of the action.

Well said Reitz! It took 2-5 players to take down #7! He's a beast! I look forward to watching both teams develop throughout the year! Good game TCA! Go Cardinals!
