Team Put Out runs over the Meese
Quarterback Logan Skeen of Team Put Out led his team to victory over the Running Meese, 13-6, on a wet and slippery field, Wednesday night. In a hard fought, low-scoring game mostly dominated by defense, Skeen made the big plays when he needed to. In the first half he threw a long touchdown pass to Ryan Willis and ran for in the closing minutes to seal the win.
“Logan has got a good arm, and he runs well,” said James Stephens, from Team Put Out’s injured list.
Jaron Dunford intercepted a pass for Team Put Out and returned it all the way for a touchdown in the second half.
Both quarterbacks threw several incomplete passes, highlighting defense as a major force in holding the Running Meese to six points — the first points the Put Outs have allowed in the last three games.
“With our defense playing the way it is, we like our chances,” Skeen said.
Meese quarterback David Johnson hooked up with Trevor Teichart for a touchdown right off the bat, but those turned out to be the only points the team would score. Johnson also threw the interception to Dunford which proved to be the difference.
After the loss, the Running Meese still remain optimistic about their chances in the playoffs.
“I think we will do pretty good if we can figure out our defense a little bit,” Meese cornerback Charlie Jenkins said. “We need to make sure we have every area covered.”
Jenkins broke up several passes in the game, including a might-be touchdown on fourth and goal.
Team Put Out improved to 4-0, while the Running Meese fell to 3-1. Postseason play begins next week.
