New Prairie 3-1 (1-0 NIC E-W), Marian now 1-3 (0-1 NIC E-W).— Austin Hough (@AustinRHough) September 9, 2023
New Prairie puts the icing on the cake of this one.
20-yard touchdown pass from Marshall Kmiecik to Matthew Sorce. 31-7 Cougars over Mishawaka Marian, 2:28 to go in the game.— Austin Hough (@AustinRHough) September 9, 2023
3:20 left Q4: New Prairie 24, Mishawaka Marian 7.
Cougars set to punt after a timeout.— Austin Hough (@AustinRHough) September 9, 2023
Touchdown New Prairie.
Marshall Kmiecik with a 70-yard touchdown run up the near sideline. That might be a backbreaker for Marian.
24-7 New Prairie with less than a minute left Q3.— Austin Hough (@AustinRHough) September 9, 2023
Touchdown New Prairie.
A long Beau Kmiecik kickoff return sets up the Cougars with a short field. Six plays later, Reed Robinson punches in a one-yard scoring run.
New Prairie 17, Mishawaka Marian 7 with 8:39 left Q3.— Austin Hough (@AustinRHough) September 9, 2023
HALF: New Prairie 10, Mishawaka Marian 7.
Chaotic end to the half. Cougars complete a pass. Clock keeps running. Looks like NP runs out of time, but they get called for penalty for too many on field. Clock stops at 2 seconds, which allows NP to set up and kick a FG.— Austin Hough (@AustinRHough) September 9, 2023
Touchdown Mishawaka Marian.
After forcing a New Prairie punt, Knights take advantage of a short field. Brian Osman with a 28-yard touchdown run and we're tied, 7-7, with 1:55 left in the first quarter.— Austin Hough (@AustinRHough) September 9, 2023
Two big plays for Marian gets them down to the New Prairie 8, but the Knights can't score. They turn it over on downs after a sack on 4th down by Harrison Groves.
Still 7-0 Cougars, 4:50 left Q1.— Austin Hough (@AustinRHough) September 8, 2023
New Prairie strikes on its first drive. After a Marian 3-and-out, the Cougars score on a 34-yard touchdown run from Reed Robinson.
7-0 New Prairie, 7:54 left Q1.— Austin Hough (@AustinRHough) September 8, 2023
Feels like a college football game, in the sense that we had an advertised 7:30 start and we're not kicking off really until 7:37.
