Marietta @ Harrison HS Football

2009.10.30
Devils head to the 50 for the coin flip and hand shake.

The coin flip. Marietta called heads and heads it is. Blue Devils elected to defer to the 2nd half, meaning Harrison will get the ball first.

It did not take long for the Hoyas to score. RB Christian Turnipseed slices thru the Blue Devils secondary.

And inspite of a great effort by CB Tyler Jones, Turnipseed scores. By the way I thought WR Austin Neely, blue jersey falling to the ground, had blocked Jones in the back. It was not called.

Halftime, and the band plays on.

It was a foggy, misting evening. It didn't misting enough to get everyone wet.

Not sure what the Marietta Blue Devils Cheerleaders were doing, it kind of resembled the Haka.

FuMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMble. This was the Hoyas only turnover, Blue Devils recovered.

Blue Devils K Fitz Johnson's PAT is good, notice the flying leap by Hoyas DB Christian Turnipseed.

Ooooooovertime. All tied at 24-all. The Blue Devil Cheerleaders come to the edge of the field to root on the Devils. Normally the cheerleaders are behind the bench away from the action.

Blue Devils RB Greg Franklin takes the hand off from QB Adam Patrick.

Coach Coles looks at the scoreboard as he instructs the Blue Devil defense.

Blue Devils QB Adam Partick eyes and passes ot FB Devin Davis. Davis would catch the pass and give the Devils a first down. The next play the Blue Devils would score.

Advancing to the second overtime. Marietta got the ball first and scored. It is 4th and 2 for Harrison to make a first down. If the Marietta defense holds, game over.

Harrison had run this sweep with success all night long, they went to the well once too often. Hoyas RB Christian Turnipseed is wrapped up by Blue Devils DB Joey Ducre (you can't really see him but he has Turnipseed by the legs) short of the first down marker. You can see the excitement in the coaches and players in the background.

The Marietta Blue Devils defense holds, game over. In an upset Marietta Blue Devils-31 Harrison Hoyas-24

The Blue Devils of Marietta have already wrapped up the home portion of their schedule, playing their last 3 games on the road, I guess its the way the schedule worked out. Harrison Hoyas were a playoff team last year and supposed to be just as good this year. Marietta is just trying to finish the season at .500.

It was a cold, foggy, misty evening. The first half was a track meet, it looked like both teams left their "D" at home. But as the game progressed (2nd half) the defenses found their way to the stadium and it was a back-and-fourth game. Eventually going to double overtime. The Blue Devils would prevail this day winning 31-24 in 2OT. This win will help Marietta achieve a .500 record (they need to win next week) and really puts a hurting on the Hoyas chances of making the playoffs this year. In spite of the rain, fog, mud, it was fun to watch and a blast to photograph..enjoy..
