Game Summary: On paper, this game looked like it should be all Wyoming Area.  Crestwood had averaged a modest 267 yards of offense per game going into the Wyoming Area contest.  In the end, Crestwood led by the running and passing of their sophomore quarterback Nick  Aigeldinger, rolled up 413 yards of offense on the Warrior defense.    But it wasn’t only Crestwood’s offense that triggered their 42-21 victory.  The Comets made several key defensive plays in the second half that decided a close game.  This included a 58 yard fumble recovery that was returned for a touchdown and a 41 yard interception return that also was returned for a touchdown. 

Make no mistake—Crestwood deserved to win this game, as they outplayed the Warriors on both sides of the ball.   However, a few “weird” plays worked against the Warriors.  After the Warriors had tied the game at 14 to end the first half and were driving near midfield in the third quarter,  linebacker Roger Legg of Crestwood, rushed QB Chris Murphy as he dropped back to pass.  Legg stripped the ball cleanly from Murphy and ran 58 yards for a touchdown.  The Warriors came back and tied it at 21 late in the third period. 

An Aigeldinger 67 yard run then put the Comets up 28-21 late in the third period.  On the first play of the fourth quarter, Murphy threw to Sam Eramo, the ball deflected several times in the air and Matt Krupa from Crestwood picked it off and ran it back for a 42 yard touchdown.     The Warriors came back on the ensuing kickoff and drove the ball to the Comet 20 yard line, but could not convert.  The Comets scored a final touchdown on a 12 yard running play.
