V-Tigers
shoot down Flyers
By Dean Eversole
VERSAILLES- The Versailles Tigers used a suffocating defense
Friday-Saturday night to down the Marion Local Flyers 24-14. Versailles
allowed just 14 points to a Flyer team that came into the contest with
four straight 40 plus outputs. In a game that was postponed Friday
night, Versailles took a quick lead off a Flyer fumble just :54 seconds
into the game. Then the lighting hit and the game was pushed to
Saturday night.
Not much changed as the Versailles defense attacked Marion Local
quarterback Adam Bertke on almost every pass attempt, knocking around
the All-Ohio QB and leaving the Flyers baffled. In the meantime
Versailles quarterback Nick Campbell hit on two touchdown passes one to
Jacob Barga of 20 yards and the second to Evan Phlipot from 30 yards.
The Tigers allowed a lone touchdown in the second quarter when Bertke
bowled in from 5-yards out. That followed a fluke play when a Flyer
receiver was at the right place at the right time. A tipped ball
floated into the hands of the waiting WR who took it to the Versailles
five yard line.
The half ended with Versailles up 14-7. Not much changed in the second
half as the defenses dominated. Versailles managed a 21-yard Chad
Winner field goal with 5:29 in the third quarter, making it 17-7
Versailles. Marion made things interesting with a scoring drive making
it 17-14 with 6:45 left. That drive has aided by a pass interference
call on Versailles on third and 30.
However, on Marion's following drive Jacob Barga snared a would be
screen pass from Bertke and took it 21-yards for a pick six. The final
nail came when Campbell picked off Bertke, sealing the deal.
Versailles is 3-2 on the season.
