Sterling (Sept. 28, 2008) – For the second straight home game in a row the rain came down hard on Patriot Stadium and for the second straight home game in a row, Park View came out with a loss. It seemed as if the Patriots could never get a rhythm going and all of their drives ended up unsuccessful.
Loudoun Countyʼs offense had a number of weapons make an impact. QB Joe Bushrod played pretty well and on several occasions had more than a few seconds in which to make something happen. The Patriots could not stop the Raider offense, and with a number of gaps in coverage, it was inevitable that Loudoun County would find the endzone on more than a few occasions.
For all of Park Viewʼs hard work on offense, they were only able to put up four points, and yes, the offense was basically what got us a pair of safeties. Unable to go convert touchdowns and near the goal line, the Raiders twice took over on downs near their own endzone and took safeties rather than give the Patriots the chance to put up seven points.
One good thing for the Patriots, WR Tommy Sedeski played in a limited role, as he is coming off an injury that has kept him sidelined all season. Next week we look ahead to a Freedom Eagles team that was the basement dweller last year. Letʼs hope the players can come into this game with short memories and greater teamwork on both sides of the ball.
