The home of Evansville North High School Huskies Football and Basketball All-Time Statistics, Records, and Historical Profiles HENDERSON COUNTY OVERPOWERS HUSKIES 40-21 AUG 28, 2010 The “Dive” play is the most fundamental play in all of football. The quarterback takes a direct snap and hands it off to a running back who is “diving” straight forward from his set position. There are no fancy patterns for the back to pivot or cut off of, no linemen are required to cross block or trap, and no fakes are deployed. The “dive” is straightforward, power versus power, football. The team with the most power moves forward. North got over powered on Saturday night. The simplest of plays, the most fundamental of plays, simply killed the Huskies. Over and over and over. Certainly, early turnovers put the Huskies in a hole from which it would have been difficult to recover. There’s no overlooking the fact that giving your opponent the ball inside your own 30 three times in the first half is a killer. But the inability to stop the dive play at the line of scrimmage was where the game was lost. 1st QUARTER The Henderson County kicker displayed a strong leg on the opening kickoff booming the ball into the end zone and perhaps no other player would influence Husky fortunes for the evening more than Henderson’s kicker. Each of the first four times he would kick off, the Huskies would watch the ball land in the end zone and result in touchbacks. The poor field position would haunt North the entire half. Following a fumble by the Huskies at their 23 yard line on the game’s first play, Henderson County mixed and matched four short runs and a pass and converted the North turnover into a touchdown. Trailing 7-0 and once again starting from their 20, disaster struck on this drive’s third play. As the Husky running back looped out of the backfield for an open reception that would have resulted in a first down, the ball instead deflected off his fingertips and into the hands of a diving Colonel defensive back at the 36 yard line. When DE Devin Rios (on his first of NINE tackles on the evening) slammed the Henderson County quarterback to the ground to set up third and long, it appeared that if the Huskies could stop the Colonel’s on third down they might “weather the storm” of two early turnovers. And when the Colonel QB overthrew a receiver, it looked like the worst was over. To continue reading the 2010 Henderson Recap click here
