Panthers Escape Two Rivers With 17-10 Win

The Park High Panthers were relieved to escape with a victory

For an instant, it looked as though prized Park High recruit Tim Moungey was going to literally lead his Panthers to another runaway victory. Moungey scrambled 3 times for 39 yards on the game's first three pass plays, but then he was sacked twice in a row for a total loss of 21 yards, forcing Park to settle for the field goal.

That first drive proved a harbinger of what was to come, as the Raiders' defense sacked the Park quarterback 4 times, forced him to run for short yardage on more than one occasion, and generated repeated pressure that caused numerous ill-timed throws that should have been picked off.

A poor day by the offensive line contributed to the problem. The guards were whistled twice for holding on two straight downs with 2:44 left in the third, and got flagged four times for holding last week against Greendale.

Those two holding penalties turned out even worse when Park's punter fumbled the ball trying to get the kick off and Raiders defensive lineman Jerome Schneider scooped the ball up and rumbled 46 yards downfield for the touchdown to make it a 10-10 tie.

But despite a horrific throwing day (4 of 13, 57 yards) and all the sacks, Moungey carried Park to the 17-10 win with a fourth quarter touchdown on a called quarterback smash near the goal line. That gave the quarterback his second rushing touchdown of the day and he finished with 12 carries for 12 yards and 2 TDs, earning him Player of the Game honors.

Moungey did not have any recorded statistics at LOLB.

Moungey Recruiting Update QB
Big 12 member Iowa State not only called to express interest, they offered him a scholarship on the spot. Other scholarships to play QB came from rumored early frontrunners UNLV and SEC team Vanderbilt, raising the number of confirmed quarterback scholarships to 4. The Minnesota Golden Gophers again called to try and get Moungey to look at them, and Central Michigan became the latest MAC team to give him a call.

Moungey Recruiting Update LOLB
Eastern Michigan became the first school to offer the Park High phenom a scholarship to play LOLB. Central Michigan expressed interest in him on either side of the ball, and, in the biggest surprise, Big 10 Illinois called about his playing on defense for the Illini, as did Northwestern, who previously appeared interested solely in Moungey's QB skills.
