The first catch on the varsity level for freshman Ben Coskrey is one he’s sure to never forget in a dramatic 35-34 Northside Methodist Academy comeback victory over Daleville.
Jon Johnson The first catch on the varsity level for freshman Ben Coskrey is one he’s sure to never forget during a dramatic 35-34 Northside Methodist Academy comeback victory over Daleville on Thursday night at Rip Hewes Stadium.Trailing 34-27 with 32 seconds left in the game, NMA faced a 3rd-and-7 situation from the Daleville 23 as quarterback Harry Hicks, under heavy pressure, spotted Coskrey all alone.
“It was a go route originally, but I saw him playing in so I kind of turned it into a post a little bit and then I was just open.” However, the ball just went off Hicks' hands and it appeared Daleville, which had scored all the points in the second half to that point in erasing a 27-14 deficit, would ice away the game.
“That’s great when it happens like you practice. We practice turnover drills. That 2-point play that we had is something we practice every week, unfortunately the receiver fell down and Harry had enough to just run it on in on the backside. What an effort by him.”“We inserted him in the starting lineup this week and he catches the most important touchdown of his life,” Gainey said.
In the first few minutes of the fourth quarter, Daleville took the lead when Javeon McLeod scored on a 3-yard run over the right side and also went in on a try for 2 to put the Warhawks up 28-27. Daleville would respond on its first possession to score when Pinckney connected with Marcus Smith on a 29-yard touchdown pass. Pinckney ran in the 2-point conversion to put Daleville up 8-7.
