001How you doing? All right. So, we're live. >> All right. About 16 minutes from kickoff here in Tukesbury Memorial High School to set field. Just getting our Wi-Fi set up. Thanks to Paul Bowden and Jeff Hall for their work. And we'll be uh kicking off quarterfinal action, Elite 8 with the number seven seated Ashan Clockers taking on the number two seated Tukesbury Redmond. I'm Rob Silver by myself, but I feel like Not really by myself. >> Jukesbury uh staff has let me into the press box. So I'm with the PA announcer here. Should be a good matchup. 9 and0 Red Men against the 8-1 Ashland Clockers. Almost out. They don't even have We're sorry. Hold your arms all the way down. Yeah, I didn't sleep. Remember extra Last one. That's not all. Go right away.

So all in all together the game included. >> So this is going to be a walk. >> Yes. Right now during passing time you have a way to get the mic out. We weren't sure if we're going to be able to stream. >> Yeah. Hey, you mean that HDMI cable? >> Yeah, >> we're up to about 29 viewers. We're about four and a half minutes away. Clocker is coming out of the locker room. watching MIA quarterfinal >> playoffs here at Tuksbury Memorial
004High School Det. I'm Rob Silver bringing you the game. 420 to go until coin toss kickoff. [clears throat] It's the 8-1 seventh ranked Ashland Clockers taking on the 9 and0 Tuksbury Redmond number two ranked team. Winner of tonight's matchup will take on the winner of Canton Marblehead. Marblehead leading 14-7 early in that matchup. And the winner of that heads over to Gillette. Just me tonight on the mic. Rob Silver, got Jeff Hall and Paul Bowden hooking us up, able to bring this live stream. >> We're on the Tukbury side of the field. Couple key injuries tonight for the clockers were without Nick Boomer injured his shoulder last week. He'll be out for an extended period of time and Mark Mermstein. Captain Mark Mermstein nursing that knee injury. But uh look for look for number 24
005Ezra Hatchet to hopefully fill that void. Stepped up big last week. Just a sophomore. gotten more and more playing time as uh Ashlin was fortunate enough to have some blowouts and get uh some of the second stringers in there and Ezra Hatcher really took advantage of that playing time and was able to leverage that last week including a nice uh deflection of a quarterback pass with uh time expiring in the first half which led to an Kevin Ozumba 95 touchdown interception. as time expired and gave the clockers a nice comfortable 286 lead. >> Danvers able to cut that lead to 28-20 and had possession in the fourth quarter, but a key turnover deep in uh Danver's territory covered by the clockers. Few plays later, Ben Athetherton able to punch it in for his second touchdown
006of the game. Ben Athetherton, quarterback, has been uh really on fire the last couple weeks. He had that five touchdown game to against uh Norwood at the end of the season, four touchdowns on the ground, one passing, and then uh two rushing touchdowns last week. those uh you Tukesbury fans, if you haven't seen our offense before for Ashland, not a lot of passing [snorts] and uh two games this week, uh two two games this year, Ashlin's only thrown one pass that was uh one for one against Hollist in that big blowout. And against Westwood, they only threw the ball once. They may have thrown it a couple times last last week. One drop. It might have only been one. >> The Red Men have come on to the side. >> Going to get some words
007from PA announcer who I get to uh call the game right next to. probably not. I think he had to do a new one because of the wi-i Well, yeah. I think they had to like do something. So, pass. >> Hey, you know, we're used to rolling with Welcome to this MIAA Division 4 football elite 8 match up between the Accorders and the Secretary Redmond. Participating student athletes, coaches, and contest officials have worked diligently to prepare for today's competition. Please show your appreciation by demonstrating good sportsmanship and respect for all in attendance.

If you require assistance, please call upon an IAA school or security official. Our great
008nation has persevered through the leadership and sacrifices of men and women who have served or are currently serving our armed forces. We invite both veterans and current military personnel to stand. >> [applause and cheering] >> We thank you for your service to our country. Now we invite all to stand for our national anthem which will be sung tonight by Sbury senior Julia [singing] was so proud of the twin lasting [singing] stripes and bright stars [singing] through the perilous or the weing. [singing] in proof through the night [singing] that our flag was still there. [singing] Oh, say does that star spangled yet? Or the land of the brave. >> Where Julia? Thank you. Oh, don't referee Tommy Brown. >> And we're ready to kick off here. Tukberry going to kick to the clockers back deep. Kevin
009Ozumba to the left and Ezra Hatchet to the right. Playoff action and we're underway. Little squib kick. Ozumba trouble fielding it and already disaster for Ashlin. [cheering] is recovered by number >> could not script a worse start for the clockers at the 21 yd line will harpowered offense this Tuksbury Redmond team you don't need to give them any extra chances. Number two, Will Harrison, the quarterback for the Redmond. >> Mecca Louu. It's given to number one out wide. Ben Christopher >> five yards. So, I think I can count the number of fumbles Kevin Ozumba has had all year or mishandled snaps on one finger. That was it. Unfortunate, but they wouldn't be here without him, that's for sure. Two-time Tri Valley Allstar. Hand off right up the middle. Untouched into the end zone. That's Ben
010Christopher. >> 21 yd scamper to start the scoring. >> 6 nothing Redmond. Bobby Platinum Vegas line 14 and a half. >> So off sides by the clockers going to move it a yard and a half closer. Just still going to kick sometimes. Uh might go for the two-point conversion, but not this time. Good snap. [cheering] Kick is good. >> Jackson is good. >> Jackson Fudo, the kicker for Tuksbury. >> So 48 seconds into the game, >> Redmond leads 7 nothing. >> We'll do it again. And hopefully not the same result on the next kick. Just a just a tough kick. Kept kept spinning away spinning away and by the time Ozumba realized how far away it was just couldn't handle it. So it's Logan Agugustiniac to kick off again. Go the other way. The upman
011takes it. Another uh precarious little bounce. >> Jake Guyro able to corral that clockers take over. 31 yd line. 30 yard line. >> The clockers come out in a spread offense. Ben Athetherton throws right away. That pass kind of dropped again intended for Ozumba. >> Want to welcome a couple Brians to the broadcast. Brian Satt, one of my uh co-announcers on occasion. Welcome. And uh Brian Silver, he is related and he has also been a co-announcer. And Welcome the other 123 other viewers from all around the world that are watching tonight. >> Athetherton lined up with Oz Lumba to his left. Believe that's Palanszi or it's Palansi who's left. That one was uh [snorts] Carry by Kevin Omba. Brady Scoffield in on the tackle. >> Oneyd gain. First positive play of the day for the
012Clockers. >> Sets up a two-y gain game. Sets up a third and eight. See if they look for uh Hugo Rossy the bottom of your screen on a curl pattern. Sometimes Owen Wolf in the slot. It's a keeper. >> Lumber for a pick up of about five or six yards. Brings up for third. Fourth and three. >> I apologize if sometimes I misspeak. I have the PA announcer speaking right next to me and or Doing our best. So, Clockers knowing that uh there's no second chances, they're going to go for it. >> Maybe try and draw him off sides. No, they go for it. They fake to hatch it. Oz Lumba gets tripped up, but he's falls forward over the uh gets a first down. So, a huge first down for the Clockers. >> Stay
013with this spread offense. Direct snap to Oumba. He hands it off to uh >> number one Jack Buans. Haven't called that name a lot this year. So again, Ozal Lumba in the wild formation. He's got Braden me the upback. Hand off again to Buans. gets a couple yards, brings up a third and five. >> Not sure if >> Coach McKay is maybe uh setting them up for something, trying to mix up what they've seen on the game film because we haven't seen this a lot this year. It's almost like they've uh put in a new offense. A little wrinkle again. It's uh Ozumba and the Wildcat. Low snap. Ozalumba swallowed up by the Redmond. Twoyd loss. >> Going to bring out the punting unit for the clockers. I believe >> in comes number 12 Olly
014Laro to kick for the clockers. >> Back deep is Johnny Sullivan. Good protection. Sullivan calls for a fair catch. Fields it cleanly at the 25 26 yd line where the Redmond will take over for their second time leading 7 nothing. >> Want to thank our sponsors tonight. 126 self storage. Townhouse pizza. >> And once again, thank our crew, Jeff Hall and Paul Bowden. Will Harrison under center. [screaming] >> Hands off to Emma Aloo. Goes back and forth. Little zigzag. Ends up with about uh 34 yd gain. seven yards on that. >> So the Redmond will mix it up between number five Aloo sometimes number six Desto back to pass. He's being chased down by Hatchet. He's open. >> [cheering] >> He's able to scramble and he finds Johnny Sullivan >> down to the 43 yd
015line. >> Ezra Hatchet >> just over pursued a little bit and a nice job by Harrison getting loose. >> Scrambling to his left and throwing that way. A great job by uh Sullivan knowing where the sideline was and getting the footing in bounds. So the hand off to Disto on the sweep. Little spin move [cheering] on. >> 12 yds. >> 12 yd for 31. Oh, the Redmond marching right down the field trying to go up by two scores. Desisto again. [cheering] >> Tackled >> after another first down. It was Daniel Castro deep in the secondary having to make the tackle. Cockers have not faced a lot of adversity. They haven't really trailed much this year. They trailed against Bellingham for a short period of time and against their one loss against Archbishop William. [cheering] The
016snap right up the middle. That's number one Ben Christopher. Christopher the uh touchdown >> first score of the game. >> So we tick down to five minutes in the first quarter with Tuksbury leading seven nothing and threatening again on the 13 yd line. Second and three. Cockers really need to force a turnover. Harrison deep set. >> Man in motion. He keeps it himself. Slicing back and forth. Clocker's trying to strip the ball. Harrison just powers into the end zone. >> That's what they say. Another touchdown for Mary Redmond. as they go up 13- nothing. >> Really feeling the absence of Nick Boomer. One of the big anchors on the line both sides. Kick is down. Kick is up. Snap was down. 14 nothing. >> Jackson Fudo, senior kicker, two for two on the extra points.
017[snorts] music next week, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. You can buy tickets in advance for out the door. They would really appreciate the support. Also, our cheerleaders tonight on behalf of the CNHS cheer booster club. Tonight's 5050 proceedings will be donated to our youth cheerleaders 12 and 14 new teams. will be heading to national. >> All right, once again, Clockers on their third receiving this time. It's Olly Laro falling on it on the 32 yd line. Fields it cleanly >> but no return. the row as the drive will begin at the 32 yard. >> We'll see if they come out in the gunk formation or if they continue with the spread offense. >> The so they go to the gunk offense. Pitch to Don Palanszi. >> There's a flag on the play. Some unsportsmanlike >> conduct,
018I believe. Might be against number five. >> It is. That's going to give the clockers 15 yards and a first down. Maybe a little extra curricular activity. A Mecha oluen. >> So the ball will move to the 50 yd line. Clocker's best field position of the night. Just a really interesting play calling. Seen uh Buans with a couple carries. Don Palanszi. This time it's Ozumba. Tries to bounce it outside. Has to go back up the middle and nothing there at all. >> I don't see Malachi Lambert in the lineup. I don't know if he's a uh scratch, but that's certainly uh another huge weapon they have leaned on all year. So, it's Don Balonzi, but a nice 50-yard run last week against Danvers on a fumble ruski play. Palansi on the pitch finds some opening
019on the left side about four yards. >> [cheering and screaming] >> Well, we got an injury. Clocker down. That's Al Neato. Another one of the key linemen. Solid all year for the clockers on both sides of the line. Just not not somebody we could afford to lose. 258 to go here with a stop in the action as they tend to the injured player for the Clockers. Clockers will face a third and six trailing 14- nothing here against the Toukesberry Redmond. Dixerty got the scoring started. They kicked off to Ashland and they couldn't handle the kickoff and it was recovered deep in Clocker territory by the Redmond. Couple plays later, they were in the end zone on the heels of a 20 after Ben Christopher 21 yd run. Clockers uh tried to mount a little offense
020on their next uh possession. had to punt and the Redmond again marched right down the field. >> And it is 14- nothing. >> There's Amy Mendoza, the trusty trainer for Ashland, now going on her eighth year. Tends to Elnito. Al's up. He's able to walk off under his own power. That's good. Hopefully he can get back into the game after uh >> little Mr. Miyagi uh work on the sidelines. >> So clock back running 253 and counting third and six. Ben Athetherton under center. >> Fans getting restless. They don't like the long [cheering] long delay. Ozumba finds a hole. Gets to the outside. He's got some room. He scoots down to the 25 yd line. pickup of about 21 and a huge first down. >> Clockers threatening. >> Good job blocking by the clockers. Oz
021Lumba gets the pitch. Pick up of about three, maybe four. >> [snorts] [cheering] >> So again, it's Ozumbumber with the orange cleats if you're watching at home. Number eight, Don Palanszi to the left. >> Athetherton hands it over to Ozal Lumba. Gets tripped up. No gain, maybe a yard as he fell forward. on the 23 yd line. Third down. >> Minute 14 to go here in the first quarter. Clockers trailing 14- nothing. Trying to mount a drive here. It's a third and seven. No doubt to uh they'll go for it on fourth down if they do come up short. Pitch to Ozalumba. Find some room. Rolls over the uh player down to about the uh 19 yd line just inside the 20. >> I concur with the PA announcer Scott. It is fourth and three.
022Fourth down. >> Now he changed it on me. Now it's fourth and four. I just said it was fourth and three. Joking. >> Big play here. They're [screaming] either going to let the play clock expire at the end of the quarter and they take a timeout with one second to go or well >> they said timeout. The scoreboard went to zero, but I believe there was a second left when they called timeout. And the play ended with about 43 seconds. So certainly wasn't enough time to run out the clock, but I mean that's pretty much typical uh coach McKay. You try and do the hard count, draw them off sides, get the first down. If that doesn't work, you burn the timeout. It's a big place. Get them all in a in the huddle here
023and figure out what you're going to pull out of the uh the bag of tricks. So, two seconds to go here in the first quarter. Huge fourth down play for the Clockers. Fourth and four. They go into the spread offense. Ben Athetherton with Palonzi lined up next to him. Timeout >> by the Redman. They weren't expecting that offensive setup. Now, a little chess match here at the end of the first quarter. and we are monitoring the live chat on uh YouTube here. Please say hello, comments, questions. The clockers rush up to the line >> back with a spread offense. Athetherton way overthrown. Targeted to Hugo Rossi, I'm guessing. Yeah. >> And just sailed on him. will take over. >> That'll be the last play of the first quarter. >> And at the end of the
024first quarter, >> 14 Clockers trailing the Touberry Redmond 14- nothing. Teams will walk down to the other end of the field and Redmond take over again. Two for two on offense so far. See if the clockers can get a defensive stand. Not the way they wanted to start. Last time the Clockers have been to the uh Elite 8 back in 2021 when they faced off against the Situate Sailors. Sailors just a top-notch program. They've been back to the Super Bowl at least a couple times since then. And the number one ranked team in this uh division four clockers at that point in their career were division six. So they've moved up a couple divisions. They are the Tri Valley Large champions, but they would like nothing more than to uh get back to Gillette Stadium
025for another Super Bowl matchup as they won the 2019 season. >> So, here we go. Redmond take over on their 20 yd line. >> It's Emma Aloo outside. >> A Mecca Aloo for 12 13 yds. First down on the play. >> 10 yards. Pushed out at the 30 yd line. Somebody's got to step up for the clockers and just make a big play. Isaiah Early with a cast on his right hand. He's come up big sometimes. And uh like we said, Ezra Hatchet on occasion and just dominating the offensive line, the Redmond. >> They get dragged out of bounds. Nine yards. Number one again, Ben Christopher >> Caukins just have no answer whatsoever. So, uh, penalty flag, the face mask on, uh, the Redmond >> outside of the 20 yardd run by Kevin Ozumba. The
026two other biggest plays for the clockers were uh, 15 yardd penalties. So, it's a spot foul, I believe. After the penalty, it will be first down and 14. >> Yeah. >> Balls on the 26 yd line. It's going to bring up first and 14. And it is a spot foul because it was beyond the line of scrimmage after the play. This time the quarterback fakes the handoff, tries to run up the middle, but clockers are ready for that one. Nice defensive stop. See if uh the Redmond look to pass on this play. No real need as they've been getting chunk yardage on the ground. Did roll out and throw once and very effective. Sullivan back to pass. >> Isaiah early on with some pressure. They dump it off. >> Nice job to pick up seven
027yards. >> Bring up a third and eight. >> Hugo Rosi on the tackle. six. >> Nice job by Isaiah Early to shed the block and force Harrison to get rid of it, but very efficient. So, I know it's early in the game, 10:49 to go in the second quarter, but this is a huge play for the Clockers. Third and eight. I do see Malachi Lambert in there, number six. So, that's a good sign. I haven't seen him on offense. Harrison rolls out >> and it's incomplete. Hits the ground. Pass intended for Ben Christopher. And that's probably going to bring up a punt, >> but I don't know this Tuksbury Redmond team. >> It is fourth and eight. >> So, the Clockers have held for the first time tonight. 10:43 to go. Got a punt. It's
028Kevin Ozumba back deep for the Clockers. Got to be careful. Will Harrison is the punter. He's also their quarterback. So, there's always the potential for a fake or he could tuck it away and run it, but he's going to punt it. Not a great kick. Gets a nice nice home field roll. >> That's going to be down about the 32 yd line. A net of 38 yds. Very effective. Not pretty, but effective. No return. >> Cockers will take over. >> Heading from your right to left on the screen. See who's in here in the in the lineup. That's Aaron Wolf coming into the game number 13. Ben Atherton, the quarterback number three. Huga Rossi number four at the bottom of your screen lined up wide. Then Don Palanszi and Kevin Ozumba to right and left
029respectively of the quarterback Athetherton to Ozumba. >> He's going to be tackled for a loss of a yard. play. Never had a chance. >> Almost tackled by his own player. >> Just we'll try and get some info at the half, but I don't know why Malachi Lambert is not in the game. He was on saw on him that one play on defense, but he's just been uh dominating force on offense to compliment Kevin Ozumba all season long. Athetherton back to pass. He looks for Ozumba one-on-one and a nice throw. It was actually Hugo Rossi on the receiving end. third down and 11. >> So, it's third and 11. >> Athetherton already with more throws than he had all last week. >> He's probably throwing again. Might be a quick throw to Ozumba. See if he
030can break something. Atherton scrambles. Wow. Pass intended for number 21 >> who's not on our roster. Clockers are lucky that one was overthrown as the uh defender for the Redmond undercut that read it perfectly. Had that been thrown a little lower, it would have been a pick six probably. So, it's going to be Olly Laro punting again for the clockers >> as they are just stumped here on offense. Good snap. Laro with a good punt. Another fair catch and fielded cleanly by number seven Johnny Sullivan. >> 32 yds on the punt. and >> you're watching >> Ashland Clocker Football here on WACA. I'm Rob Silver with my trusty crew tonight. Jeff Hall and Paul Bowden bringing you the action here from Ducet Field, Tukbury Memorial High School. >> Quarterfinal matchup. >> Redmond leading 14- nothing.
031rolls out to his left, throwback screen, >> perfectly designed play. >> And again, it's Ben Christopher with a nice chunk of yards, 15 yards. >> Christopher 149. >> Make that 14 yards. >> This is a high-powered offense. They've scored 40 plus the last three games and the def defense is stingy. They have not given up more than 20 points all season long. Couple shutouts, a lot of single digits. >> There's a handoff. Had a chance to tackle the Systo in the back field. >> Was able to shed the tackle and pick up about five, six yards. on the play. Second and five. >> Coach McKay is the master of the halftime speech. He better have [laughter] a good one in uh in his back pocket tonight. They're going to need it. It's Aloo on the
032handoff. [cheering] >> Freight train fors ahead for about uh 10 yardds and a first down. >> We tick under eight minutes. 750 to go. >> The Redmond first and 10 on the 27 yd line. looking to go up three scores and they will receive the kickoff to start the second half as well. So, the Clocker's got to figure something out here. >> Just tons of yardage. Just so much green in there. >> Redmond just dominating the blocks. Ben Christopher gets five yards. Six yards on the >> 7 minutes to go here in the half. 14- nothing Redmond. Second and [snorts] five. >> [cheering] >> fakes the handoff, rolls to his right, throw back wide open. Got to close on that. Oh, and it couldn't do it. >> Perfect throw. Jake Burns on the reception. >>
033Jake Burns 27. >> Big Jake Burns, the tight end, wide open in the end zone. 20 to nothing to experry. >> And some movement before the snap. too many men. >> That'll move it a yard and a half closer. Not that the Redmond need any more help at this point. >> Snap is down. Kick is up. >> And it's good. >> 21 nothing with 640 to go here in the first half. Tuksbury Redmond making a statement on their home field. like this. >> So kicking away again for his fourth time tonight. Logan going to go stunnia. Kevin Ozumba to the left deep and then it's Ezra Hatchet to the right. They do the squib kick. Good bounce. Guo is going to uh try and run it up field a little bit. Gets a couple more
034yards. >> Cauers will take over with healthy field position. 37 yd line. 36 maybe six seven I don't know what do you think six or seven >> it's the only time I'm doing that tonight It's a pitch to Ozumba following his blockers. He's still going. Legs turnurning. He's got some room. [cheering] >> Squirts free for a 33 yd gain. >> Kevin Ozumba giving the clocker crowd something to cheer about. Motion 378 saying the Redmond men are too good. They do look too good tonight. Starts with the coach. Have to say these coaches are both pretty uh pretty equally accomplished. Coach McKay with a Super Bowl. Coach of the year, Massachusetts 2019, 100 wins in a short short 15-year career so far. Ozala tripped up for no yards. Not to take anything away from coach Brian
035Elward, coach of the week earlier this year. Both he and McKay, recipients of the uh coach of the week award presented by Andre Tippet from the Patriots >> and my apologies to uh motion 378. Didn't have a lot of a uh background info on this uh Redmond team. didn't know until late yesterday I was going to be coming up here. It's a pitch to Ezra Hatchet, the sophomore wrapped up going backwards forward progress for a loss of a yard. Speaking of coaches, the uh Tukesberry Redmond got a few coaches in the stands as well. We got a third and 13. Third and 13 or 12. Close enough. 413 to go. Clockers have got to uh hurry up here. Time running out on the play clock. Athetherton deep. He's going to throw it. He's got Rossi.
036Sails it again. Rossi a valiant effort. He's tall. He's not that tall. >> Sean coverage. [cheering] [screaming] >> So fourth and 12, 357 to go. >> Clocker's going to have to go for it. Wouldn't mind seeing them >> float something up there. They got to give the receiver a chance to catch it. >> These line drive passes are just not effective especially with a tight coverage. So it's Dasi on the bottom of the screen. It's ozumba to the left. He fakes the handoff. Good blocking and gets hit as he throws. That's going nowhere. >> Incomplete turnover on downs with 351 to go. And the nightmare continues for the Clockers. >> 21 nothing. wouldn't mind the 21 if I was at the uh the blackjack table, but uh this is not the 21 I want to
037see. >> Again, quarterback rolls out, keeps it, avoids three tackles >> and a First down. >> First down. >> First and 10 on the 43 yd line. 334 33. >> Clarkers have to stop the bleeding. Harrison fakes the handoff. Rolls to his right. >> Throws it out. Throws it away. I think he stepped out of bounds first. They are going to call him out. So a loss of a yard. He had the right idea, but he stepped out of bounds before he got rid of it. That's why two yardd loss on the play. Second and 12. Emo Olu >> takes a host of clockers to bring him down, but only after the first down was reached. with a red uniform. Oh, number 35 Kansas City Chiefs Christian Aoy. The Nigerian nightmare. Just huge just freight
038train. Drops back to pass under pressure. It's lobbed up there. He's wide open. [cheering] Wide open. Johnny Sullivan. [music] >> Johnny Sullivan. >> 47 yd and a touchdown. No MS. >> 27 nothing. 212 to go. Snaps down. >> Kick is good. Four for four. >> Jackson Fud. >> Fourth point of the night as the Redmond continue to roll 28 nothing. Please support the red man cheerleaders as they are going around right now collecting for 5050 raffles that are supporting the youth cheerleaders around the stands right now. So, back deep to receive again if they get it there. It's Kevin Ozumba and Ezra Hatchet. They've been doing these mid squib kicks. That one goes deep. This one uh >> didn't go in the end zone. Ozumba has to pick it up. sixyd line after the kick
039off by Logan Austin. Great kick by Logan Augustiac. >> And a friendly roll. >> So 207 a play. This under underman clocker squad trying to mount something. >> Ozumba. He's met right away by Sullivan. Cuts back. >> Four yards. And I did get word from uh someone that Malachi Lambert is out with a back injury. Tried to give it a go on defense on one play, but between the loss of Lambert, Nick Boomer, Mark Mermlstein, Kevin Ozumba squirts through for a first down. Gives the clocker some breathing room with a minute 29 to go. First down. Clock stops momentarily. So they go back to the gunk offense. Oz lumba again. Hatchet couldn't seal the block and results in a break even. Maybe maybe a yard. 40 seconds to go in the quarter in the half.
040Ezra Hatchet on the handoff. Finds some room to the right. Spins. It's brought down just near the first first down marker. Pick up of about seven yards. Clocker is taking a timeout. >> 23 seconds to go. So they were in a similar situation last week. Looked like they were going to run out the clock and little trickery by coach McKay. Don Palanszi scooted down the field for a 50yard gain which resulted in a touchdown. See what they have on the uh drawing board for this one. As I said, 28- nothing Tukesbury. And Tukesbury will receive to start the second half. Undoubtedly, it will be an onside kick attempt when the second half does start. Great turnout by the Tuksbury fans lining the fence. The stands are packed. This playoff action here. Quarterfinal matchup. Winner going
041on to face the winner of Canton Marblehead going on right now. So here we go. Third and one. Hand off to Oza Lumba. >> You got any more timeouts left? >> They do. Coach McKay does take the timeout with 40, excuse me, 15 seconds. They're on the 42 yd line. Well, >> with that run, Kevin Ow 95 yards on the on the day. >> So, one bright spot. >> He's been doing it all year. You folks from Tukesbury watching, if uh you didn't know, Kevin Ozumba a couple weeks back set a single game rushing record for the Clockers with 334 yards and four touchdowns. touchdown runs, 27 yards, eight yards, 76 yards, 84 yards. >> Could add more, but they kind of >> took the took the pedal off the gas once they had that
042last breakout run. Kevin Oumba, also the career rushing yardage record holder for the Ashland Clockers, >> approaching almost 4,000 yards. at this point. >> 15 seconds to go. [screaming] He's going to let it fly. He's got Hugo Rossi down the middle. Defended well, but Rosie did have hands on it. So probably try something similar to that or maybe a little screen pass. See if Oza Lumba can get into some open space. Well defended by the Redmond making sure there's no pass interference. Of course, pass interference 15 yards I believe wouldn't be an automatic spot foul, but it would extend the half. Athetherton almost picked off by Ben Christopher. 5 seconds to go. >> Ben Atherton already throwing more passes tonight than he has all season combined. And it's a handoff and that'll end the half
043as KZ Omba goes nowhere. 28. >> So, the Clockers will go into the locker room trailing 28- nothing in this quarterfinal playoff matchup here as the Turksbury Redmond just dominating from the opening kickoff which actually went intended to go to the Glockers but not handled cleanly and Redmond able to recover punch it in and it's been all Redmond here. You're watching Ashley and Clark playoff football here on WACA TV. We're going to take a break. We'll be back with some second half action. Don't go away. Three weeks ago, the other team really started to come back. Takes a lot of the pressure off. going down my gloves on much warmed How's it doing it on your own? >> Not bad. >> Yeah, >> it looks pretty good. We always Yeah, it's >> recording out number
044six. He's other good running back and then Nick Boomer got hurt last week. Mark Normal's team >> like three weeks ago got hurt. >> Yeah. I mean >> no dues. >> I mean they did okay without normal at the time. Ezra Hatch really stepped up and now he's just playing the team this >> everything looks good looking by almost [laughter] half the lights. We can see through It's close. The field's close enough. Water the highest. blessed. >> I used to use Genie some baseball. [laughter] baseball. [laughter] I'm really hoping It's good. Hey, it's Friday night of all night doing So far, >> hey, how [laughter] are you? Good to see you. I just >> How you doing? >> Those guys must be working soon. We got a date in December. December I already told dad
045we're doing 30 seconds really quick. That's good. I saw the game the other night on TV. Sounds good. [laughter] One piece of [clears throat] soft. lights here. Yeah, I [laughter] like a couple of kids in the NFL. >> [laughter] >> family like they always do. Would you like some water? [laughter] But no, the 200 bucks is enough. Keep that clock around. >> You guys know why? >> Well, good to see you. >> Yeah, I'm sure you >> Thanks for coming in. >> Get in there. Talk a little bit. [laughter] Now he's settled in. >> So a couple months Peter, you know, does KD does as much as he can as far as share and so does the coach of the basketball. He used to share all the time because he had all his former students
046and oh yeah, >> his dad passed away over the summer. [laughter] >> That's what we do. That's dedication. They wrote me a nice letter. >> Yeah. >> I thought that was appreciate building it up. All right, welcome back to Ducet Field here at Tukesbury High School. Rob Silver here on WACA TV getting ready for some second half action. So far, it's been all Tukesbury as the number two seated uh Redmond just dominated from the opening kickoff. Couple touchdown passes, couple runs, just no mistakes. Ashland >> under under man. Couple key injuries, missing captain Mark Mermstein and uh loss of Nick Boomer last week. Really hurting as we're just getting dominated. That's the word, you know, on the line. Getting pushed around. Clock is fighting hard, but only so much they can do. It's been a
047great season as they're 8-1. We'll see what they do starting off the second half. Probably look for an onside kick and look to get some offense going. Malachi Lambert also out. Clocker fans who've been watching all year know that uh Kevin Ozumba has had an incredible season. As I said uh towards the end of the second half, single single game yardage record 334 yards, all-time leading rusher in clocker history, approaching 4,000 yards total. And a lot of it's been because he's had that complimentary running back in Malachi Lambert this year and uh he's out with a back injury. John Palanszi doing his best to step into that role and Jack Buans and just not the same. Playing a top-notch, undefeated squad here, well coached. Clockers ready to kick off as we start the second half
048action. See what Aaron Wolf can do. Probably the quick turnaround. The little scrib carry. There it is. The quick little uh they got one guy up line. Had a chance. Ball squirting around. See who comes out with it at the bottom [laughter] of the scrum. >> And the Redmond do have it. >> [cheering] >> Welldesigned play by coach McKay as he left one clocker towards the sideline that nobody was really expecting. >> Had a chance but couldn't handle it. So the Redmond men will take over at the 42 yd line. >> Will Harrison the quarterback having a solid solid game. Echa Aloo big running back number five on the handoff. Ezra Hatchet grabbed him around the waist, dragged him down about four yards. >> As we said, Hatchet just a sophomore stepping up. You'll hear
049a lot from him over the next couple seasons. This clocker squad look for uh number two Owen Wolfrram to uh possibly lead the squad as a quarterback next year. Clockers also lost Alfred Neto to an injury in the first quarter. There's a pitch to number one Ben Christopher. >> 16 yards on a first down. Ben Christopher, the owner of the first touchdown in tonight's game. 21 yd run. >> [screaming] >> Harrison handles the high snap and a great tackle. Number 55 Josh Lambert coming. He's also coming back from an injury. Good to see him back in the lineup. >> Great job knocking him back for a twoyard loss. It's the biggest defensive play of the night for the Clockers. >> Ends up actually three yd loss. Second and 13 according to the scoreboard. fakes the
050handoff, keeps it, and then throws wide open. Ben Christopher, >> dragged down by Owen Wolf from Christopher down to the 10yd line. >> 32 yds, 33 yds, and a first down. Very efficient passing game from Will Harrison. Watching him play, you understand why this team is nine and 0 and just crushing their opponents. >> Several games over uh 40 points. >> I got it. Awesome. Appreciate it. >> Harrison hands it off to Desisto. Ezra Hatchet rep wraps him up. Throws him down hard. See if we get a flag. Fans not happy about that. >> Extra hard tackle. >> They can take it. >> Builds character. See if they got something planned. They got Victor Mayanja. The upback goes to Aloo and he walks into the end zone. Redmond. 34 nothing Redmond >> follow Redmond picking
051up where they left off to start this first half uh second half. And that one sails wide. >> So it's 34 nothing as the clockers will >> hopefully take over on offense. It's not a guarantee. >> They will receive the kick. checking the comments and uh one of the uh viewers who uh whose team faced off against the Redmond noting that they're very physical on both sides of the ball, especially up front. No doubt about it. Which is why the absence of Nick Boomer, Al Nato from tonight, and Mark Mermlstein, three of the starters for the Clockers being absent really, really hurting them. Good job by uh Clockers to feel that one cleanly. That was >> number 12 O Laro on the short hop. >> He's done that a couple times. asking my co-announcer George
052Tubin if he uh plays plays shortstop. I guess he's an accomplished hockey player. My brother would like to uh hear about that. So, guess as good a football player is, he's a better hockey player. Hockey season starting up soon, >> so we'll be able to bring you some hockey action here on WACA. He'll get to see Ali Laro during the winter as well. Kevin Ozumba on the pitch, bounces it outside, gets about five yards tackle from behind. >> That run brings Kevin up to uh right around the century mark for yards rushing today. >> [snorts] >> Second and five. Athetherton pitch to Don Palanszi. Good job by the line. able to clear a hole and Paloni scoots through for about seven and a first down. >> [crying] >> Don't know if anybody at home bought
053tickets to the 50/50 raffle, but we'll be announcing that soon here. PA announcer Scott and uh flag on the play false start five yards. Clockers have a few different uh players in there on the front line. into the game for the Clockers. Haven't seen a lot of uh playing time. Number 69, Leo Mateo. Number 63, Joe Vanna. Ben Atherton trots back to the huddle. squad facing a first and 15 on the 42 yd line. It's Palonzi again following his blockers. He's got some room and he's able to uh scoot ahead for 13 yards. Brings up a uh second and two. So, good job by Ben Athetherton opening up a hole for Palonzi. Got the penalty yardage back and another seven. Aton keeps it, pushes up the middle for first down, a fouryd gain. So, Clocker's
054making some progress. First and 10 on the 41 yd line. Trailing 34 nothing. Pitch to Ozalumba. Bounces it outside. A healthy gain of eight yardds. >> Plays kind of designed to go inside the uh left tackle, but no room there. Oz lumbumber just bounced off and cut it up field. >> Second and uh one maybe a long one. Clock stopped at 5:35. Athetherton keeps it again. They try to strip him of the ball. >> Gets back to maybe the line of scrimmage. >> Bring up a third and one, maybe third and two. See where he spots it. Spots it right at the 42. >> Going third and one. This time it's Braden me under center. He pitches to Ozumba. [screaming] >> Kevin pinballs around ahead for five yards and a first down. Six yards. Interesting
055comment. I take all comments, good and bad, but uh Luke Stewart Ashlin absolutely blows. Yeah, eight and one. That's uh that's a pretty bad record. Eight and one. Might want to uh recheck your math there, Luke. And Braden me keeps it. He's dragged down from behind. Loss of a yard. >> Actually, maybe a gain of a yard with a forward progress. Okay. As soon as >> I talk a lot because that's what I'm paid to do. But I appreciate you watching. >> I'm very impressed by this Tukberry team. Well coached, well disciplined. Palanszi. Good effort there. Four yards. >> I have nothing but love for all these viewers. Oh, thanks, Jason. Appreciate that. >> Hey, we're just happy to be able to uh be in the booth here and bring you this live stream. Wish
056it was a more competitive game for everybody. Kevin Ozumba on the pitch >> gets down to the 15 yd line, but that'll move the chains. >> 220 to go in this third quarter. >> Sure. Tukesbury would like nothing more than to preserve a shut out. Ashland trying as hard as they can to uh spoil that. Ben Athetherton pitch to Ozumba again. Nothing there. Has to create something himself. Gets down to about the eight yd line. Bounces it out to the left side. Seven yards on the carry. second and four. >> And they're going to spot it at the nine. So, six yards, >> nine yd line. Second and four. Clock running. [screaming] Zimba again. avoids a block. Excuse me, avoids a tackle. Falls ahead to about the five yd line. Right around the first down
057marker down. >> Yeah. Third and one. 52 seconds to go. 51 This could be an Athetherton keeper. We'll see. Fans do not like the delay in the uh the play calling. Athetherton does keep it. Powering ahead, gets the first down. floating over some of the uh Tukesbury defenders down to about the two yd line. That's going to end the third quarter as the clock is down 10 seconds, nine and counting. Should be the last play of the quarter, >> but it's a uh it'll be first and goal from the three yd line when we walk down the other end of the field. Got to say they have a really nice facility here at this uh Ducet field. >> Beautiful fieldhouse. I don't know if uh Paul Bowden can uh pan over. Can't really see it.
058It's not lit up that well, but they have a nice >> facility that overlooks the field separate from the high school. You got an indoor turf field along with a weight room so they can do some sprints and stuff in there is what I heard from the athletic dire. >> They have a couple different locker rooms. They have a nice concession stand. And I will tell you the men's room, one of the finest men's rooms I've ever seen. >> 15 stalls, 10 urinals, clean. You could probably eat off that floor. take it right from the concessions. Now that that might be a little bit too much, but >> I'm impressed. I'm impressed. So, as good a football team, >> as good a football team. It's a nice facility. And uh nine nine.9 on the uh
059the restrooms. So, >> we're getting ready to start the uh fourth quarter here. 34 nothing Tukesbury Redmond, but the clockers are knocking on the door. First and goal on the two yd line. Clocker pride. That's what we're playing for now. Clockers have nothing to be ashamed of. Solid season, eight- one coming into this game. Ben Athetherton pitch to Ozalumba. See if he can get a playoff touchdown. Not this time. He's down to the one. >> Good job by the Redmond to keep him out of the end zone. My production guy Jeff Hall thinks uh Ben Atherton sneak. Allah Josh Allen kind of feel like they want to give it to Ozumba just another feather in his cap. Ozumba another chance and he is into the end zone. Touchdown Clockers. If you had Tukesbury for a
060shut out at plus 7 to1, you're just not happy about that touchdown. clock are down on the field. >> Just not their night. Even when they win, they lose. It's one of the lineman's getting back up. Looks to be okay. That's nice to see. nothing. Uh Nick, that's Nick Borges number 50 walking off under his own power on to kick the extra point. Aaron Wolf Bornetski on the snap, the hold. And it's good. And that one is on the roof. Aaron Wolf number 13. >> Aaron Wolf. >> So with all the uh the money they spent in building this facility, they couldn't spend an extra couple hundred bucks to make the net a little higher. So when they kick the field goals, I guess a lot of the balls go on the roof and the
061firemen uh periodically come up and will collect the balls. The athletic director said they have quite the uh collection of footballs that end up on that roof. Although the way that this defense is uh performing, I'm guessing most of the balls are from Tukesbury. So, >> so Kevin Ozumba, you fans just watching. And I he's had five games this year where he's had at least three touchdowns. One game where he had four touchdowns. Had multiple games over 200 yards on the ground. Capping off uh a tremendous high school career. got one more game, one more meaningful game where they'll host Hopington on Thanksgiving. We'll be covering that one for you. 10:00 a.m. start as Dukebury gets the uh the kick. I think that was number 21 if I believe I saw him on the film.
062Dominic Carreri maybe >> Dom Carreri 5T tall spark plug though 30 yards on the return down to the up to the 32 yd >> line Carreri a crowd favorite here junior running back. >> So, running time here. 347 fourth quarter. >> Quick handoff. Nice tackle by Ezra Hatchet. If I'm too experienced, at some point I got to think I might want to take my starters out. No need for a injury this late in the game. It's well in hand. Get ready for next week's matchup. Canton or Marblehead. They will face off against Canton, who was victorious in tonight's matchup against Marblehead. So third and two on the 41 yd line. Johnny Sullivan, Ben Christopher, top of your screen. It's a hand off to Hulu. Four yards and a first down. >> Six minutes to go.
063Harrison deep set, high snap, hands it off to Carrera. [cheering] >> Great job avoiding the first tackle. nine yards on the second one. >> I mean, Malachi Lambert, what a warrior. Comes in with the bad back. Comes off the field, tried his best, but uh we know he's injured. >> He wanted a chance to uh make a play. Carrera hit him hard. The all five feet. >> Five feet zero inches. Fast and tough. So, second and one. 436 to go. It's another number on there. Number 35. Ryan. Brian Callahan, the junior, getting some action. >> 420 to go in the game. >> So, Coach Elward taking my word of advice, putting in some of the backups here for this last drive. Four minutes to go. and Brennan Davis, the sophomore quarterback into the game. He
064hands it off to number 13, [cheering] rumbles ahead for a first down. That was Carlo Deisto, >> younger brother of Nikki Desto. I'm guessing they could be cousins. 321 to go. >> Cockers are winning the second half seven to six. If we're looking for uh rays of light, things to build on. into the game for the Clarkers. Number 57, David Yampolski. Again, Leo Matteo. It's >> number 35, Ryan Callahan. Again, >> first down. >> No, just short of the first down. Okay. Touchdown for the Clockers was scored by Kevin Ozima. There's Jason Lewis pointed out. Thanks, Jason. I just uh not keeping up on the chat. >> 210 to go. >> See what Brennan Davis can do here. guessing they'll just continue to hand it off. And >> Davis keeps it >> gets the first
065down. >> Do they take a knee? >> I'm guessing they'll take a knee. >> No need to run it up, I don't think. So 116 to go. >> Brennan Davis has the instructions from the sidelines. Not sure what the delay is. >> Takes the knee. 57 seconds to go. [screaming] >> You like to see the good sportsmanship makes you root for him. Uh, I'm rooting for Dukesbury. No. Will. They played a solid solid game. Played a clean game. Great job. We wish the Redmond the best of luck as they advance to the quarterfinals against Canton. And that'll do it here from Ducet Field. Final score tonight. >> The Tukesbury Redmond. >> Not a lot of Redmond left around, but the Tukesberry Redmond 34, your Ashland Clocker seven. And that ends the season for the Clockers.
066Been a lot of fun to watch. Been a lot of fun announcing. >> Looking forward to the Thanksgiving Day game. Jeff Hall, you'll be here. Paul Bowden, I believe, will be here hopefully. Will Paul be here? >> All right. That's 10:00 a.m. from Ashland High School. We'll be streaming live here on WACA. Myself, I hope my partner will be uh Josh Abrams. Not sure who the uh who will be with me, but uh >> we'll find out. >> On behalf again of our want to thank our sponsors 126 self storage with Michael Kane and uh Townhouse Pizza. >> That's a wrap from Ducetfield. On behalf of my uh my crew tonight, Jeff Hall and Paul Bowden, I'm Rob Silver saying thanks for watching. Good night and go clockers.
