Fruit Cove Middle School flexes their strength against the Sebastian Middle School Eagles football team.
On Thursday, October 18th, Austin Reed (#7) and the Sebastian Middle School Eagles football team faced the second place, 6 – 1 Fruit Cove Middle School Flyers football team. After the Flyers jumped out to a 7 – 0 lead in the first quarter, the Eagles played hard and did not allow another point until the middle of the third quarter. The Flyers finally wore down the Eagles defense and added an additional three touchdowns to end the game with 26 points. The Eagles refused to give up gaining a 5 yard touchdown run by Andre Robinson with time expiring in the game. Austin’s two point conversion pass was dropped in the end zone after an elusive scramble and great throw to his wide receiver. This play has been included in the following videos. The final score of the game was 26 – 6.
Austin played quarterback, middle linebacker and special teams during the game against Fruit Cove Middle School. There is also a video featuring a great blitz rush by Austin causing the quarterback for Fruit Cove to rush his pass and throw an interception to linebacker Sebastian Jones. I have also included a video of one of the best crack-back blocks I have seen in youth football. This occurred in the third quarter when running back Andre Robinson reversed the field and Thomas Adkinson (#77 – Red) assists the run blocking with a crack-back block and absolutely crushes #64 for Fruit Cove. The next game for the Sebastian Middle School Eagles football team is this Thursday, October 25th @ 4:30 p.m. at Landrum Middle School located in Ponte Vedra, FL.
