Forest Park, Woodbridge game turns into 4th quarter showdown

Friday’s conference matchup game between Woodbridge Senior High School and Forest Park High School was kicked off on the Bruins home turf following their homecoming festivities.

 
Forest Park won the toss and elected to receive the ball. Starting their drive on the 39-yard line, the Bruins quickly moved into a fourth down situation. Quarterback Guy Myers kept the drive alive with a quick run into Viking’s territory.
 
Unable to convert the drive into points, the Bruins turned the ball over to Woodbridge on downs. Kalel Grant elected to take the ball himself and ran for more than twenty yards, followed by an additional twenty-two yard pickup that put the ball on the 23-yard line and in Forest Park’s territory.
 
A pass interference call on the Bruins placed the ball in the red zone for the Vikings. While on the 1-yard line, quarterback, Brandon Pitt ran a sneak play in for the first touchdown of the game at 3:43 in the first quarter. Not able to score the extra point, Vikings went up six points on the Bruins.
 
Forest Park stayed steadfast with their offense, picking up two back-to-back first downs. An offsides penalty called on Woodbridge’s defense put the Bruins in scoring position. An interception thrown by Myers, and picked by cornerback Jeremiah Peterson, put the ball in the middle of the field for Woodbridge.

Maintaining possession in the second quarter, Woodbridge committed to the running game with three strait running plays before a sideline pass to wide receiver, Dominic Benson. With 7:23 left in the second quarter, Pitt made a play that put the Vikings into another scoring situation. Keeping the ball for the majority of the quarter, running back JaVaughan Burrus was able to  give the Vikings their second score of the game, but the two point conversion was halted.
 
Forest Park committed to putting a score on the board before the half and picked up two first downs quickly on throwing plays, but ultimately could not convert to a score. 
 
The Vikings led the first half 12-0.
 
Vikings took first possession in the second half of the game, but couldn’t squeeze anything out of their drive and Forest Park got the ball back deep in their own territory. Trying to make a play, the Bruins’ quarterback kept the ball for two straight running plays and landed into Woodbridge territory for the first time during the game. At 5:33 in the third quarter, Myers completed a 15-yard pass play to wide receiver, Eric Kumah, putting Forest Park on the board for a touchdown and an extra point.
 
Returning the kickoff to the 44-yard line, Woodbridge took over, but had to punt it back to Forest Park because they couldn’t capitalize on the possession. 
 
The 19-yard play by wide receiver Andrew Hardin, gave the Bruins the jumpstart they needed to keep the game close between Woodbridge. 
 
With the start of the fourth quarter, also came the start of Forest Park’s game momentum, and Myers instantly, took control of the game. At 10:47 left in the second half, Myers ran into the end zone for another Bruins touchdown. Evan Davitch completed the two point conversion. Forest Park took a three point lead over Woodbridge, 15-12.
 
Woodbridge would not do anything with their possession and gave the ball right back to Forest Park, but defensive player, JaVaughn Burrus, picked off a Myers’ pass and ran it in for a touchdown. Not being able to accrue the extra points after the third attempt, allowed Woodbridge to trump Forest Park’s lead, 18-15, with more than eight minutes left in the game.
 
A pass interference call on Woodbridge, at 6:42, gave Forest Park a 15-yard advantage into Vikings territory. A turnover on downs gave the ball back to Woodbridge.
 
Woodbridge was unable to eat up the clock had to punt the ball back to Forest Park with 2:49 left on the countdown. Another thrown interception by Myers, to Woodbridge’s Taylor Harris, looked to seal the Vikings victory. 
 
Woodbridge defeated Forest Park, 18-15.
