Saint Jo was looking to keep their playoff hopes alive at Harley Sewell Field, hosting a strong Newcastle squad.
However the Panthers were unable to pass the test, falling to 4-5 with a 0-2 District 9-1A-I mark after a 52-6 loss to the Bobcats.
“We ran a different offense than in past years,” said head coach Chad Tallon. “We felt it was the best way to contend with Newcastle.”
Despite an unsuccessful opening drive for the Panthers followed by a successful opening drive for the Bobcats, Saint Jo turned up the heat defensively, recovering two fumbles.
Then in the final stages of the first quarter, after being tipped by a Newcastle defender, a Garrett Parker pass found its way into the hands of Wyatt West who was down on his back in the end zone for the touchdown.
Since neither team was able to make the two-point conversion kick, the score was tied at six after one.
“The defense played great in the first quarter,” Tallon said. “They actually played okay all night. We just weren’t able to capitalize on Newcastle’s mistakes.”

There is a new flower showing up at garden centers that is pure magic, in fact its official name is Superbells Magic Double Grapefruit. If you aren’t familiar with the name, it is a calibrachoa, a petunia relative. Double gives reference to flowers that in this case look like miniature roses.
Magic is your key descriptor telling you that the flower changes colors. The flowers start off a pleasant lemon yellow and then age to a rose pink.
Of course, to get to rose pink you have various shades along the way. Another magical aspect to me, the guru of captivating combinations is that it seems no matter the color you choose it will go with Superbells Magic Double Grapefruit calibrachoa.
