  • KnoX Catholic Recap

    First congratulations to Knoxville Catholic on a great game. They played very well despite the long road trip. We knew that #7 and #25 were dangerous but we had not seen their QB perform at that level throughout the season. His stat line of 34 of 41 for 393 yards and 3 TD’s is very strong. He guided them to 12/17 on 3rd/4th down conversions as well.
    Our team battled despite not having a good night of execution, displaying the heart / character that propelled us to an excellent regular season. This was a tough way for our men to go out but as they have all season, they did bring honor to the Red & Blue. Our effort as it has been all season was exceptional.
    MERCURY AWARDS:
    Begun in 1991 due to the generosity of Owl booster Earl Blankenship, the Mercury Awards are presented to players of the game (usually offense and defense) and to the Buzzard Player of the Week (Scout Team). Each winner receives a special award at the end of the season, and these are cherished by many boys.
    This week the Players of the Game are Brandon Nicholson and Hudson Shoaf. Brandon led us on offense scoring twice on his 2 receptions of 100 yards. Both were for TD’s. In addition, his 90-yard punt return for a TD set an MUS record for the longest punt return in MUS history. Hudson Shoaf played one of his best games, of which there are many, garnering 21 tackles, which ranks # 2 all time for tackles in a game. In addition, he had 5 TFL’s of which 3 were sacks.
    In a few days we will post an end of season recap. But I am so proud of how this team overcame tremendous adversity to fight for each other every play. It has been an honor to coach this group.
  • BCS Media Recap

    Thursday night against Briarcrest I believe was our finest effort of the season. All phases of our team displayed excellent execution. We made all the plays we needed on offense and our defense was spectacular as usual. It was a great way to end an exceptional regular season, finishing with a 9-1 record and earning the region championship. I also felt it was important that we enter the playoffs with a game like this where we demonstrate to ourselves that we really can play football at a championship level.
     
    MERCURY AWARDS:
    Begun in 1991 due to the generosity of Owl booster Earl Blankenship, the Mercury Awards are presented to players of the game (usually offense and defense) and to the Buzzard Player of the Week (Scout Team). Each winner receives a special award at the end of the season, and these are cherished by many boys.
    This week the Players of the Game are Brady Hughes and Gavin Helton. Brady played his best game as our starting QB and there are a couple of stats that could be interpreted as him playing one of the best games a QB has ever played at MUS. He set 3 school records. His 84.4% completion rate is the new standard. He set a record for passing yards gained per attempt at 17.9. And his pass efficiency rating of 336.7 moves to the top of the list. This was his 2nd time this year to throw 4 TD passes in a game which ranks 3rd all-time. Gavin led our stout defensive team this week with 6 tackles, including 3 for loss, one of which was a sack. With the return of Thomas Davis inside Gavin was able to spend all his reps at this outside LB spot and it was obvious he was very comfortable there! Our Buzzard player of the Week is Sam Galler. Sam is a sophomore LB but was pressed into duty as a running back last Friday night against Oakhaven where he responded very well. He continued that roll in practice this week on the scout team for our defense.
     
    We did have some bad news on Wednesday when we got the report that Derek Clenin ’03 was hospitalized with a serious illness. Derek most recently has served MUS coaching our 7th grade team where his passion for competing at a high level has affected many of our boys. Please remember Derek, Kristen, and his sons Colt, Cooper, and Cruz in your prayers.
    Playoff season is entirely different football than what we experience during the regular season. The pressure and intensity that surfaces knowing that each game could be your last certainly creates a lot of stress. I believe our team has been tested well this season and is prepared to rise to the challenge! GO OWLS!!
  • CBHS Media Recap

    Honor Bring to the Red and Blue. This team continues to live up to the challenge of our fight song. It is always a special night when the Owls take on the Purple Wave. Our seniors join a special club becoming the 5th group to go undefeated during their varsity career against our rivals (Class of 92,93,02,&13). It was a complete team effort to earn a 21 to 7 victory. The Brothers’ defense was tough, but our offense took care of the ball and made several big plays with our O-Line providing Brady time to find our receivers down the field. We have had several guys do extended duty throughout the season playing both ways and last night we leaned hard on Casey Cooper and Griffin Allen playing DL and our H/Y combo in 12 personnel on offense. Our defense did a great job of limiting CBHS to only 137 yards and 8 first downs with only one play of more than 15 yards. It was also a credit to our offense that when CBHS put together an excellent drive to cut the lead to 21 to 7 with 7:10 left in the game that we retained control of the ball for the remainder of the game!
    It was a special show of class by the CBHS players and coaches to wear a #62 sticker on their helmet paying respect to Dion Stutts. Thanks to Coach McDaniel and the rest of the CBHS team.

    This week the Players of the Game are Clayton Kuhlo, Michael Ray and Max Williams. Clayton and Michael had an excellent games at tackle on offense both as run blockers and in pass protection. Max was solid all night but outstanding on two of the key plays in the game that occurred almost back-to-back. His 30-yard TD reception was followed in less than a couple minutes by his 75-yard pick six! Our Buzzard player of the Week is Charlie Gerhart. Charlie is a junior linebacker who has shown much improvement this season and was very strong in the JV win over Fairley accumulating 7 tackles.
     
    The team returns to Stokes Stadium next Friday as we will host Oakhaven for a Homecoming and Senior Night. It should be a special night. GO OWLS!
