Patrick Casey had 16 carries for 67 yards. He had 52 yards on 12 carries at halftime.

The other Warrior backs totaled 5 yards on 23 carries. Brian Casey was sacked repeatedly, which in high school is deducted from the rushing total, not passing totals.

Ergo, East Ridge had 72 yards on 39 carries. Tack on Casey's passing yardage (18) and the Warriors had 90 total yards, including -2 in the second half.

Anyone with any further need to deny reality is welcome to it, I am finished providing fact and figure to contradict feelings. I know many believe that ER ran the ball at will on Friday, but they didn't. They had one sustained drive. ONE. That was the one that ended in the field goal.

They did manage to maximize time of possession, which was very smart on Coach Allen's part - minimizing the number of times an explosive offense gets the ball is one of the keys to victory.

All this said, I would take 21 (P. Casey), 4 (B. Casey), or 22 (D. Lewis) and probably a couple of the linemen and maybe 1, too, on my team any time, I thought the Warriors were greatly improved over last year, I wish them great success on their remaining schedule and hope the players, coaches and fans can celebrated many wins the rest of the season.

The KHSAA website says that Casey had 73 yards. I don't think they would have any reason to lie about it. I would bet that they have someone stating the game. I would also say that they did take off the yards that the QB lost when he was sacked. For as many times as he carried the ball, 18 yards isnt a whole lot. Without the yards deducted I would say he had close to 35 yards. I can only remember him sacked twice. At least that's all I heard on the radio. I think one was something like an 11 yard loss and that would put him close to 18 yards.
