I think you had Batman and Robin, the Lone Ranger and Tonto, Starsky and Hutch, Freebie and the Bean,then there was Eric Dickerson and Craig James, Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon and many other duos over the years…..But the one we saw last night, well, that Dynamic Duo knew what to do-oh and they did it over and over again……
‘Double D’ Daniel Downing and T.J. Logan went down to Chapel Hill and when they came back, they brought home Northern Guilford’s second straight NCHSAA 3-AA Football Championship….
Those men up front Sam Parker, Austin Simmons, Max Klietsch, Tripp West and Andrew Keen were the ones that got the holes open and T.J. Logan and Daniel Downing ran right on through them to the tune of 326 total rushing yards and Logan scored all five of the Nighthawk TD’s…..Logan ran for 204 yards and caught passes for a total of 39 yards and don’t forget, he will be back next season, he’s only a junior….’Double D’ Daniel Downing ran for 126 yards and passed for 77, going 9-13…..
The Dynamic Duo was really up to the task last night and they had plenty of defensive help from Mark Mitchell with 11 tackles, Austin Coltrane with 8 tackles(Coltrane has some Durham blood in him coming out of the legendary Jack Coltrane and Bobby Coltrane camp with a huge Joseph Durham additive), Ryan Johnston was huge up front on ‘D’ for the Nighthawks, as #44 was in the backfield on top of the Crest RB’s all night long….Sam Parker was in that backfield too along with Tre Purcell and Chris Ripberger and don’t forget TJ Ruff and Shaquille Fields….Scooter Mooney had a great interception and almost made it a ‘pick six’, but he finally got stopped, but the Nighthawks still got the ball and went on to score…..
We could say more and let’s don’t leave out Nick Jones and Cameron Harris and then John McBeth was busting his tail on both sides of the ball….If we left anybody out send us their name and let’s give these kids time to process the past couple of years, with Two State Titles….
Fine job Coach Roscoe and a class act….We look forward to seeing if you guys can make it Three Straight as you head toward 2012….
Good job and as we look back on 2011:
