Too much Villanueva and Fraga??
Nope. I'd have loved to have seen a closer game but I think the players on both teams had fun in a final game for many of them. The second half was competitive. It was 30-0 at the half. So the blue team won the second half 22-16. Hodgkins basically took over one drive in the third and said I'm not getting shut out.
Fraga had to be the MVP or offensive player of the game. Which is well and good. Even with all the recognition he has received I think he might have been under appreciated outside Strawn compared to Carlos, Tanner, Ivan and JC.
That said, Mendoza was big for the Blue on O & D. Both the guys from Rochelle came up big on D. Presley from Bracken Christian had some big runs on offense too. It was nice to see a Mallory on the Strawn turf again making some good runs for the Red team, his long one, where they had him at the line of scrimmage set up the second TD by Hodgkins.
I don't remember Carlos scoring in this game which is unusual. But he still put on a show, as usual. Duckin and a dodging, getting out of tackles that look like they were already made. So fast and quick he spun his wheels a couple of times and wiped out. Still fun to watch, for the last time.
