Season opening football highlights
A missing Jewell
Senior multi-purpose threat Danny Jewell curiously didn’t figure into the box score of Northridge’s 33-13 defeat of Bethel in Friday’s season-opening football game. That’s because he cramped up and became sick.
Coach Bob Smith decided to hold his speedy senior out the second half after the Polar Bears had built a 26-7 lead. Smith reported that Jewell “had a couple of catches and some nice runs/returns” in the first half.
Northridge hosts Jefferson (0-1) on Friday, Aug. 29.
Get the point
Versailles and Oakwood were locked into an extra-point, do-over sequence in Friday’s opener at Hummon Field, won by the Lumberjacks, 43-21.
A series of penalties backed Versailles to its 40. But a 15-yard penalty vaulted the Tigers to the 25. In all, a half-dozen flags were tossed. The end result was a failed extra point pass.
Other notables:
• Versailles shanked a 2-yard punt.
• Oakwood kicker David Miller launched a grounder on his first extra point try and was wide on his second. But he also launched a 32-yard field goal and was good on his final five extra-point kicks.
• Versailles freshman Nate Cordonnier played the bass drum at halftime with the matching band.
• Sophomore QB Matt Carpenter is out 4-5 weeks with a hip injury. He was No. 1 until coming up lame in preseason camp.
