YOUNGSVILLEFor the second consecutive year, a nondistrict contest between the North Vermilion Patriots and the Ascension Episcopal Blue Gators came down to a two-point conversion late in the game.

In the 2018 game, the decision by Blue Gators coach Matt Desormeaux to go for two provided the Blue Gators with a one-point road win.

On Friday night, Desormeaux decided to go for the two-point conversion and the win once again, this time in overtime. The North Vermilion defense was up for the challenge, stopping Ascension quarterback Cole Simon short of the goal line to preserve a 23-22 win in overtime.

Regulation ended in a 16-16 deadlock, and as the teams went into the first overtime period, North Vermilion had the football first. On the first play from scrimmage in overtime, Patriots quarterback Darius Giliam dropped back to pass, was pressured out of the pocket and scored on a 10-yard run around the right side.

Following the successful extra point attempt by Patrick Chapman, the Patriots (2-1) led 23-16. Ascensions possession in overtime came down to a fourth-and-goal from the five yard line, as Blue Gator quarterback Cole Simons pass into the right corner of the end zone was complete to Ascension tight end Matt Remondet.

Remondet came down with a brilliant one-handed catch in traffic to cut the Patriot lead to 23-22. The Blue Gators (2-1) decided to go for the two-point conversion and the win, and the Patriots defense came up with the big stop to come away with the 23-22 win.

Both coaches recognized the efforts of both of their teams and their opponents in a game that a saw total of 21 penalties.

Extremely proud of the grit that our kids showed tonight, said Patriots coach Brett Blakey. Adversity hit us at the end of regulation and in overtime, and we responded each time. Hell of game. Both teams played really hard. What high school football is all about."

For Blue Gators coach Matt Desormeaux, it was about missed opportunities, penalties and poor tackling on defense that made the difference in a hard-fought contest for both teams.

North Vermilion came to play and fought throughout the game, as did our kids," Desormeaux said. "We missed out on some opportunities on offense, and we did a poor job of tackling on defense. We also had way too many penalties, which really came back to haunt us in the end. Really proud of our kids for the way they competed throughout the game.

Ascension Episcopal led 16-7 at the half before being outscored 9-0 in the second half to send the game into overtime.

Cole Simons six-yard run with 4:06 to play in the first quarter gave the Blue Gators a 7-0 lead after freshman kicker Peyton Woodrings extra point. North Vermilion tied the game at seven with 5:48 to play before halftime as Giliam scored on a 2-yard run and Chapman added the extra point.

Jaime Cordova gave the Blue Gators the lead once again at the 3:15 mark of the second quarter on a 22-yard touchdown run. The two-point conversion failed, and Ascension led 13-7. On the final play of the first half, Woodring added a 33-yard field goal, the Blue Gators took a 16-7 lead into the locker room at half.

North Vermilion would add nine third-quarter points. Giliam hit Zack Necaise on a 38-yard touchdown pass, and Chapman kicked a 28-yard field goal to tie the game at 16-16. Ascension let a golden opportunity slip by as a fumble near the goal line went into the end zone for a touchback, which would have given the Blue Gators the lead.

Patriots quarterback Darius Giliam had an outstanding night, running for 143 yards and two touchdown and throwing for another 130 yards and a score. Giliam ran for two touchdowns and had one passing TD.

COLUMBUS, Ohio Urban Meyer had a specific moment for every great team he coached, that epiphany when he realized his team had something special. Maybe it was something that happened in practice, the result of a game or an emotional postgame speech, but he always could identify the greatness before the greatness happened.

Ryan Day hasnt had that signature moment yet, but he knows what that feels like. His team is 3-0, and though most national pundits looked at Ohio State with some skepticism heading into the season, you can sense the opinions changing. Analysts who projected Ohio State to lose three games this season now have them in the College Football Playoff, the point spreads are inflated and there isnt a person out there right now who can keep a straight face when picking Michigan to win the Big Ten.

That a-ha moment hasnt come for Day. But he has the feeling.

Ive felt that for a little while now and...

Ascension Invitational

A BRAWL involving a few members of the Morvant Caledonia AIA technical staff and officials marred Wednesdays rescheduled Division One contest against Defence Force in the Ascension Invitational Football Tournament.

In fading light, at the Larry Gomes Stadium in Arima, Caledonia, who entered the game at the top of the standings with 24 points (two more than Defence Force) indulged in a series of time-wasting tactics to ensure a goalless result.

Those moves backfired as, in the fifth minute of stoppage time, Defence Forces captain Jerwyn Balthazar collected a deflected pass from substitute Dwight Quintero and drilled home a right-footed shot past Caledonia goalkeeper Terrence Lewis.

The Caledonia players confronted referee Crystal Sobers and assistant referee Kirt Charles as they appealed in vain for an offside call, and those protests continued after the final whistle.

Sadly, things took a turn for the worse as both Sobers and Charles were attacked by members of Caldedonias technical staff and a melee ensued.

Ascensions tournament director Richard Piper could not be reached for comment up to press time last evening.

Wednesdays result meant that Defence Force moved back to the top of the standings with 25 points, with one round of matches remaining this weekend.

Defence Force are scheduled to face cellar-placed Matura ReUnited and Caledonia are set to meet FC Santa Rosa.

There was another rescheduled match on Wednesday, at the La Horquetta Recreation Ground, Arima.

Hosts Terminix La Horquetta Rangers trounced FC Santa Rosa, with two goals apiece from Jamal Creighton (12th and 45th) and Kadeem Corbin (67th and 85th), and one apiece from Ross Russell jnr (32nd), Samuel Delice (64th) and Jomoul Francois (81st).

Brawl mars Defence Force win in Ascension - TT Newsday

Tropical Storm Karen has disrupted the Ascension Invitational Tournaments final round of fixtures with Defence Force FC on the verge of the Division One crown and Deportivo PF, San Fernando Giants and UTT FC all within touching distance of the Division Two title.

Tournament organisers informed all participants this morning that games scheduled for this afternoon have been postponed until further notice. A decision on tomorrow evenings game between Terminix La Horquetta Rangers and San Juan Jabloteh will be made on Monday morning.

The Secondary Schools Football League (SSFL) has already announced the postponement of all games carded for Monday. And Caribbean Airlines have cancelled todays domestic flights as well as regional flights to and from St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines and Grenada.

In the Ascension competition, Defence Force would have backed themselves to secure the inaugural Division One title this afternoon when they were due to host cellar placed Matura ReUnited in Couva.

A draw would have been enough for the Army/Coast Guard combination, since their nearest rival, Morvant Caledonia AIA, were expelled from the tournament on Friday as a result of their behaviour in a mid-week fracas involving match officials Crystal Sobers and Kirt Charles.

However, should Matura surprise Army, San Juan Jabloteh still have a mathematical chance to pip them at the deathif they can defeat Rangers by five goals or more.Rangers are third at present but could finish second with a win over Jabloteh or fourth if the La Horquetta-based team lose and Cunupia FC defeat Police FC in their final fixture.

In Division Two, it looks to be a straight shootout between leaders Deportivo PF and San Fernando Giants who are separated only by goal difference. The winner of their clash will be crowned champions.

However, should they play to a draw, UTTwhich is one point adriftcan overtake them both to win the second tier with a win over bottom placed Marabella Family Crisis Centre.

The rescheduled fixtures are expected to be announced in midweek.

Spartans stay put, Bulldogs rise in rankings - Beauregard Daily News

Nebraska offensive line coach Greg Austin isn't exactly sure what clicked in Broc Bando's mind as he began his ascension in the program.

But Austin can pinpoint when the light came on for the third-year sophomore left tackle.

A 6-foot-5, 310-pounder from Lincoln, Bando at this time last year was a redshirt freshman on the scout team. On Friday mornings in the fall, scout-team players scrimmage before the team's regular practice, and Bando apparently got revved up for those workouts.

"Broc kind of took off from there," Austin said following Wednesday's practice. "He started owning his job, really putting in the effort. He really had a desire. He had an ambition to be better. Sure enough, that carried into spring ball. We saw him come on in spring ball and be a real dude. Come fall ball, he was the same guy."

Come Saturday, it's possible Bando could be Nebraska's starter at left tackle against Illinois in a 7 p.m. game in Champaign, Illinois. The 2-1 Huskers' regular starter at the position, junior Brenden Jaimes, suffered a left-leg injury with 11 minutes remaining in last week's 44-8 win against Northern Illinois. Although Jaimes practiced Wednesday in a limited fashion, it's unclear whether he'll be ready for duty against the Illini (2-1).

If Jaimes isn't ready, Austin seemingly has ample confidence in Bando. In fact, Austin said, Bando has made more progress than any Nebraska offensive lineman in the system since Husker coach Scott Frost and his staff arrived in late 2017 from Central Florida.

"He's a kid that when we first arrived, it took a long time to figure him out," Austin said. "He's not a weird kid by any means, but I believe as a coach you have to first connect with a kid before you correct him."

Some sort of connection obviously was made.

"He's a stout kid," Austin said. "And then you put the drive and tenacity with it, that's really been the difference with him. Beforehand, he was just kind of here. It was just kind of, 'I play football for Nebraska, I'm from Lincoln, I'm a local kid.' But more recently, about seven or eight months ago, he took ownership, and that ownership has led to his ascension as a player.

"I'm certainly proud of him and his future as an offensive lineman."

Nebraska offensive coordinator Troy Walters echoed those sentiments Wednesday.

"Broc did a great job Saturday night (after Jaimes went down)," Walters said. "Came in, did what was asked of him, so were very confident in him. One of the things we do, and we pride ourselves as coaches in this program, is in fall camp, guys are getting reps. Were going two fields, so the ones, the twos, the threes, the fours, everybodys getting reps, and thats beneficial.

"So we feel like we have depth. We feel like, if a guy goes down we have the 'next man up' mentality, and he stepped in and did a great job Saturday. And if his number is called, were confident that hes going to do the work again this week."

Bando attended Lincoln Southeast as a sophomore before finishing high school at IMG Academy in Florida. A standout at both tackle and guard, he helped the Ascenders finish 11-0 in 2016. Ranked as one of the nation's top 50 offensive guards in the 247Sports composite rankings, he chose Nebraska over offers from Louisville, Mississippi State, Georgia, Georgia Tech and Kansas State, among others.

Bando redshirted at Nebraska in 2017 and didn't appear in a game in 2018. But Austin kept pushing Bando. The coach figured out some of the right buttons to push, it seems.

"There's a little direct talk involved, as I like to call it," Austin said. "It's, hey, you need to clean this s---t up, you need to get this stuff done, rather than, 'Hey, it's OK.' I think he was kind of used to get treating like that. Whereas now it's know your job, do your job and do it again.

"That's the standard."
