Although the Redskins are locked in as the #2 playoff seed and first round home field advantage (by virtue of the CAK victory over Rockwood), this is still an important regional game. We hold a 3-1 record all time verses Wartburg (0-8, 2-2A); the last meeting resulted in a 34-6 Redskin victory in 2000. Is Wartburg the best 0-8 team in the State of Tennessee? Let’s hope the Redskins aren’t looking past them, and come out ready to play - they did.
As it was Senior Night, the senior members of the football team were out for the coin toss, representing the Redskins as Captains: #3 Brandon Dixon, #4 Cody Fritts, #5 Taylor Eldridge, #7 Mark Harrison, #10 Ryan Queen, #21 Cory Fritts, #44 Matthew Packett, #51 Clay Matlock, #53 Jimmy McQueen, #61 Tim Ramsey, #79 John Paul Hackney, #85 Joe Webb, #82 Cody Wiggins, and #88 Big Ace Henry. The Redskins won the toss and wanted the football.
The Wartburg kick-off was short, and fielded on the 25 yard line by #81 Daniel Laughlin. With a 16 yard return, Laughlin had the Redskin offense open for business on the 41 yard line.
On the first play from scrimmage, QB #4 Cody Fritts hooked up with fellow senior #5 Taylor Eldridge on an 18 yard pitch and catch. On the second play from scrimmage, #8 Tyler Campbell motors into the end zone untouched from 41 yards out…the scoreboard reads 6-0 ‘Skins, with 11:27 showing on the clock. At this point, the game is over! The Red Team proceeded to pound the Bulldogs into submission; the score at halftime was 40-0. The entire second half was played by JV and freshmen.
Since the Redskins scored nine touchdowns and the Bulldogs scored three, a chronological time line is the best way to present the data:
- Redskins, #8 Tyler Campbell, 41 yard touchdown, kick failed, 11:27 1st quarter
- Redskins, #3 Brandon Dixon, 4 yard touchdown, kick was good, 7:42 1st quarter
- Redskins, #8 Tyler Campbell, 71 yard touchdown, kick was good, 2:03 1st quarter
- Redskins, #4 Cody Fritts to #10 Ryan Queen, 63 yard touchdown reception, kick failed, 11:05 2nd quarter
- Redskins, #4 Cody Fritts, 4 yard touchdown, kick failed, 2:44 2nd quarter
- Redskins, #21 Cory Fritts, 60 yard interception returned for a touchdown, 2-point conversion QB Fritts to Campbell, 1:20 2nd quarter
- Wartburg, in a bazaar play freshman QB #9 Brandon Johnson was the punting from the 21 yard line, the snap sailed over his head, Johnson hustled back into the end zone, picked up the ball and launched a pass that was intercepted in the end zone by #63 Tom LeComte for the Bulldog touchdown, kick was good, 6:39 2nd quarter
- Wartburg, #15 Dustin Brown, 14 yard touchdown, kick was good, 2:20 3rd quarter
- Redskins, #27 Caleb Giles (freshman), 30 yard touchdown, kick failed, 11:49 4th quarter
- Wartburg, #10 Tyler Trout to #89 Tyler Winstead, 14 yard touchdown reception, kick was good, 8:37 4th quarter
- Redskins, #15 Blake McNew to #85 Joe Webb, 12 yard touchdown reception, kick was good, 4:42 4th quarter
- Redskins, #31 Jordan Purdy (freshman), 54 yard touchdown, kick was good, 0:36 4th quarter
And with the final score of 60-21, the Redskins (8-1) send the Bulldogs back to the pound!
