Believe me when I say the kicking game is very important.  Just ask Jimmy Dorsey head coach of the Mceachern Indians.  At first glance you see a great game coming down to the wire and a close 25-22 score. As you look closer two missed extra points and two missed field goals including the last with just 6 seconds remaining in the game.  In a game that was very entertaining you hate that a kid had to go home with such a heavy heart.  In a first half that the Indians controlled  they went to the half only leading 9-7.  The second half began with a bang as the Parkview Panthers hit the Indians with a double pass trick play when Clayton Wilkin(qb) Derrick Heitkamp(wr) who passed to Jared Polak(te) for a 72-yard touchdown add the two point conversion and the Panthers led 15-9.  Matt Collins(McEachern) hit Nico Delany for a 25-yard touchdown to tie the score at 15.  Luis Uranga would miss the second of his two extra points then.  After a Parkview field goal Collins went back to work accounting for 46 of an 81-yard drive that culminated in a Quenten Martin 33-yard touchdown run that gave the Indians the lead 22-18.  From there the Panther offense went to star running back Brandon Jacobs who tallied 130 yards on 13 carries and a touchdown.  On their final drive Clayton Wilkins came up huge as he connected with Cory Phenix for 15 yards on a fourth and 15 down to the Indian 7-yardline.  That would lead to Wilkins’ game winning 4-yd touchdown run.
