Edina and Southwest

On Tuesday October 21^st that Edina Hornets had a playoff game.  The game was located at Kuhlman field, Edina’s home field.  The game was the section 6AA playoff semifinals.  Our opponent was Southwest, I decent team but I was expecting a blowout.  The game started at seven p.m. and it was very cold. We got the first kickoff and we returned it for about 20 yards, up to around the 30 yard line.  On the first play Colin Moynihan rushed for a good hard 7 yards.  On the next play Anders Lee passed for 32 yards to Joe Herring.  With 11:24 left in the first quarter Anders Lee Rushed 31 yards for a Hornet touchdown. We were leading 7-0 after a John Eppel extra point.  Throughout the first half we had Southwest every way we wanted them.  We could pass or run, our line was blocking and defense and offense was executing exceptionally.  As time had run out in the half Edina was leading Southwest thirty five to six.  At the beginning of the second half, the Hornets kicked off because we got the ball to start the game.  As Eppel kicked the ball it went into the end zone for a touchback and Southwest started on their on twenty yard line. Three plays into the opening drive of the second half Southwest fumbled and the Hornets recovered.  From the seven yard line Steven Asp rushed on an end around for a seven yard score, it was now 42 to 6. I left the game because as I expected it was a blowout.
