no. “Sometimes it was six or seven guys so we went more to the short game.” Through three quarters, the Storm (1-1) controlled most of the tempo of the game. BV caught a break when they recovered a Justin Shaw fumble on a punt return with 4:23 remaining in the third quarter. One play later, Parker Neuhalfen dashed 35 yards for a touchdown to put the Storm ahead 25-14. However, the Storm offense would only convert two more first downs the rest of the game and St. Bede would score on their first two possessions of the fourth quarter to turn the game in their favor. “They made plays and we didn’t,” said Storm coach Jeff Ohlson. “We didn’t convert a 3rd-and-1 and we let (Halm) loose. We’ll have to go back to the film and see what happened.” Ohlson was pleased with his team’s defense throughout most of the game, which didn’t allow a touchdown to the St. Bede offense until Halm’s first touchdown catch of the game midway through the third quarter. St. Bede did gain an early lead when Baylee Hopps scooped up a Neuhalfen fumble and returned it 66 yards for a touchdown just over three minutes into the game. Neuhalfen was shaken up on the play and was relieved at quarterback by running back Josh Mead, who came in and moved the offense down the field by carrying the ball seven times for 51 yards out of the option.

Carlos Acosta scored five of the seven goals with Adrian Perez responsible for three assists. “It was a good defensive effort with some small communication errors,” DePue coach Tim Stevens said. “Offense was a little one dimensional but the assist to goal ratio was encouraging. We need to work on spreading out the attack in midfield and better transition defense.” Comment on this story at www. bcrnews.com
