Reynolds quarterback Brayden McCloskey was slippery, he had eyes in the back of his head and if he saw an awkward toss forward he made it with precision. Cochranton's defense wasn't bad on Friday night, it just couldn't cover everything McCloskey saw. More than once what should've been a sack for a loss or at best a slight scramble for little to no gain turned into advancing the chains.
He shovel passed or off-ballanced threw more first downs passes than Cochranton coach Mike Feleppa could count.
And Reynolds seemed to have really studied tape to know how to stop the speedy Matinec boys and QB Cummings. No break aways and no sustained long drives for Cochranton.
The Raiders, who were only 7- 4 n the season and only 3-3 in their region were a solid squad and came alive when they needed it most to claim the district 10 title.
What an absolutely brilliant season this was Cochranton. They went winless the year before to end the regular season defeated. Then won a nose to nose battle last week to advance to the title game. Sadly their run ended against a very tough Reynolds team who scored more points than any of the Cardinal opponents all season and held the talented running game to a manageable amount of yardage. More importantly they prevented them from crossing the goal.
What a season. Mike Feleppa will undoubtly be crowned District 10 coach of the year. We were late to the game with the cardinals, but there will be a great deal of awards bestowed upon this squad.
