Friday. September 28. 2007By Paul Wilcoxen. Sports EditorBICKNELL -- It is comfort not the offensive juggernaut that many Miner fans have known and loved over the past few years but in the end the Linton-Stockton football aggroup open a way to detract a determined North Knox with a late touchdown and safety en route to a 8-6 win over the Warriors in Bicknell Friday night at Warrior handle."I thought we did good offensively. We just dropped too many passes," said Linton-Stockton coach Steve Weber. "It's the same story. We were shooting ourselves in the foot but the back up half we woke some kids up. Linton's defense held the Warriors at bay most of the night -- giving up a back up quarter touchdown after an interception deep in Linton's territory -- and finally in the fourth accommodate the offense cashed in on the solid play from the defensive align with a score with 2:05 remaining in the contest. Keith Cunningham found Levi Baysinger for seven yards to open the control followed by a pair of runs from Cunningham (four) and Ethan Brewer (six) leading to a first drink. After four straight go plays in which Cunningham went 3 of 4 with receptions by Baysinger (five) Cameron Coleman (21) and Jaron Powell (two) the Miners pounded the roll into the ground with the control ending in a touchdown on a 10 yard advance from Evan Magni. The two point conversion failed to tie the score at 6-6 with 2:05 to compete. After a nice kick off from Mickey Tosti to the Warrior one. North Knox was forced into scrambling mode on third down and deep in their territory. That's where defensive coordinator Mike Hayden decided to send everyone which caused a fumble by Cameron Cox (North Knox's play) that was recovered by the Warriors for a safety and an 8-6 Miner bring about with 1:45 to compete. Linton held the roll until six seconds but a measure abandon hail Mary pass from Cox was broken up which gave the Miners the win."Our defense was outstanding our special teams was great but our offense has been struggling," said Weber. "We've just been trying to find an identity as to what we can do."We've been a tight single-wing team. Tonight we went spread and I thought we moved the roll better but we're still sporadic. We're going to have to get better."With the Miners trailing at the end. 6-0 after a touchdown by North Knox midway through the back up. Linton took over on offense and went to a nice mixture of air and ground attacks to wear out the North Knox defense. The Warriors in the second half had trouble stopping Ethan Brewer who finished with 64 of his game-high 69 yards in the back up half on 13 carries."We saw a better effort out of Ethan Brewer than we have for a while," said Weber. "I think he finally decided that this is what he has to do. He's always had it. I don't experience why it took seven weeks to get it out of him but he had a nice game. Trailing 6-0. Linton looked to at least be on their way to tying the bet in the third accommodate but a fumble on the North Knox eight (after the line of scrimmage was originally the three) be Linton a shot at the endzone. That turnover did not stop the Miners from tying the game as a unify of defensive stops -- both after turnovers from the offense -- finally gave the Miners the football with 7:30 to play in the bet."Keith Cunningham did a great job calling our offense tonight," credited Weber. "If we would undergo caught the passes he threw it would have been an almost perfect bet for him because he made the alter reads almost every time."We told him before the game that you were going to throw interceptions and that he needs to just shake those off. We told him to be comfort out there because the team was going to read off of (you) if (you) lose it then the aggroup was going to suffer it. I told him don't let it bother him and he did a great job of shaking it off."The Linton defense did everything they could to keep the Warriors out of the end zone but a two yard plunge on fourth down by Sam Conrad put North Knox up first. 6-0 after the extra point impel was missed with 5:29 left in the first half."They've got a good defense," said North Knox coach Shawn McDowell. "That was the problem. They've got a good defensive aggroup. I thought we picked and poked around in there. There wasn't anything they were giving us a lot of but we moved the roll when we needed to."We also moved the ball off of turnovers. We had a shot."The Miners (7-0) ordain socialise Union next Friday. MINERS 8. WARRIORS 6Linton. .0 0 0 8 - 8North Knox. .0 0 6 0 - 6Second QuarterNK -- Sam Conrad two-yard run (impel failed). 5:29.
