[Music] Welcome in to Bedford High School here in Bedford, New Hampshire, where the BCTV crew will bring you Bulldogs football division one action here as the Exit High School Bluehawks are visiting, bringing a 3in-1 record in against the undefeated Bulldogs. It should be

003quite a battle. I am Cory Monster Tiger here on BCTV N WBNH105.1 joined in the booth by Bill Taylor from the Exit High School. Longtime educator, longtime coach. Bill, what do you expect to see here tonight between these two squads? Well, I expect to see a big time ground game, ground war going on. Can the Can the Blue Hawks contain the potent running attack of the Bulldogs? Can the Bulldogs slow down the exit of Blue Hawks? >> Run game galore on both sides of the the ball. As you know, Brody Helton has been lighting things up since his sophomore year. Has continued that trend this year as well. Bennett Matthews switching over to the quarterback position and having his hands on the ball every single play. Unfortunately, we do have a couple of injuries that

004you mentioned pregame for the Exit Blue Hawks. So, that could present even more of a challenge for the Exit Bluehawk offense. Yeah, those injuries happened last week against uh Winnacon in our big rivalry game. We had two running backs get injured uh and they were two-way players, both on offense and one was a linebacker, the other was a deep back. So, we'll see. We have some good, strong sophomore running backs who did get carries last week, and I think they'll be successful tonight. Sounds good. >> Clear skies, >> low 60s tonight. Waxing gibbus up there in the sky. Absolutely gorgeous night for fall football here. The Blue Hawks running that familiar tight tee, that ground game. This will be a good test for the Bulldogs defense. They've had some struggles here against some of the

005stronger teams as they had Thornton Academy visiting a couple of weeks ago and they were trailing in most of that game. were able to pull it out late. And then of course the win last week against Gofftown. This team is running on all cylinders. They're ready to come out of that inflatable bulldog down to our right pumping things up. The marching band and color guard are ready to go. And Bill, an exciting night in Bedford High School. >> Every high school football game is exciting and I look forward to tonight. >> Should be phenomenal. Again, we appreciate the BCTV crew. Bill Jennings on the camera upstairs. We have Eric Chalis visiting from ETV over there. Excuse me, uh, Bluehawk TV over there in Exit helping out with camera 2. Harry Klowski is going to be

006producing the radio broadcast and Evan Campbell helping out. Andrew Fen back in the studio with our replay. So, we appreciate the whole crew here able to bring our listeners and viewers a phenomenal match tonight. >> The visiting Hawks coached by Bill Ball. announcements being made in the stadium. Now, we'll go to the co coaches interview. Harry Kslowski had a chance to sit down with coach Matthews earlier this week and get some words about this game on Friday night. We'll go to that now. >> We are speaking with Bedford head coach Zack Matthews. His team is now 4-0 after a 42-3 win over Gtown on Friday. Coach, we're coming up on the halfway point of the season. What's your assessment of where your team is right now? Yeah, I mean I think I'm pretty pleased with

007the progression we've shown over the over the first four weeks. Um, you know, coming into the season, we had a lot of proven players, and I think those proven players with experience have have performed just the way we've expected them to. Um, you've also seen some moments where some young players, specifically on the defensive end and the in the defensive secondary, have had some growing pains and some learning experiences. So, um, that that's something we've expected to this point. Um, we're working really hard as a coaching staff and the players are as well to try to address some of those issues. I mean, um, we're giving up, to be honest, more long runs than I would than I would like. Um, and that's something that's a little bit disappointing right now, but um, we're addressing

008those things every single day in practice and, um, those kids are working really hard to try to address the things that we're asking them to. So, yeah, I'm I'm happy with where we're at. I think this is going to be a really good test for us this week against Exit. um because we know that obviously all they do is pretty much run the ball. Not that they don't have a passing game, but you know that straight T offense is going to put a lot of pressure on your run fits and your discipline and um so we're excited about the matchup. >> You've had some great players this year. Bennett Matthews having a great year. Brody Helton, Bryson Derso. I want to mention your kicker uh Elijah Todd. He went six for six against Gostown. He's

009been solid all year and watching him in warm-ups, he regularly hits him from 40 yards out. What kind of advantage is it to have a kicker who's got a big leg and is accurate like that? >> Yeah, I mean I think in high school football you never know what you're going to get there, right? I mean, as far as we've cons we've been concerned here at Bedford, uh some years we've had some really great kickers and and some years we don't and we have to kind of go with the best athlete. So Elijah is a kid who last year to be honest um started goofing around at practice and we were like, "Hey, that that's pretty good. Like that has some potential." Um and then he came to me and and asked for some camps

010and went to some kicking camps this summer and and really worked hard at the craft and so couldn't be more proud of him for taking an interest in something and then also you know when we left last year, you know, in the summer he he worked really hard at it. So I think at this point in time we're feeling good about where he's at. I think you also saw in the Thornton Academy game um some of those nerves pop up a little bit. He has the ability to hit from 40 45 yards in the Thornton Academy game. I think getting out there some of the game jitters. He's working through some of those things. And as I said to him, like one missed kick or two missed kicks is not going to concern us. We're

011going to keep putting you out there cuz we see it in practice all the time. He's just got to kind of get used to managing the emotions of the game. And and obviously, as we all know, we've all watched NFL football and college football games. Sometimes when the pressure is on, um, you know, it's a little different than it is in practice when you're kicking it through the uprights. >> Yeah. Being a kicker, it's a lonely job sometimes. >> Uh, here's a here's a question that goes back kind of to the first one. Um, kind of a good news, bad news thing. Good news is you're you're halfway through the season and your next uh five games, four of them are going to be at home. Uh, the bad news, I guess, is that this

012is going to be the toughest stretch of your schedule. You're going to have games against BG, Londere, and like you mentioned, exit this week. Do you feel your team is ready to face that increased challenge going forward this time? >> I do, but you, you know, you never really know until you line up and play it for real. I mean, I think when you look at the initial weeks of the season, um, you know, Nashville South is a very good football team. A lot of people people, you know, don't realize that or they've kind of been put on the back burner, I guess, and since we beat them in week two, but that's going to be a really good football team that I think is a top four team in division one. Um, Thornton Academy

013is is a really physical football team. We were pretty beat up after that game and and it took a lot of our effort to get back in that thing and and you know that was a really good test and in my opinion they're going to be the state champion in Maine this year and I don't think it's even close and so we've had some good tests and I feel good about that. But every single year we know we're going to get the best from everybody that we play and we want to play a rigorous schedule. Our kids know that and um yeah, it's time to ratchet it up and that's kind of what we've talked about this week. All right, we've got our feet under us now. Now we're at the midpoint of the season.

014This is really where we're going to be tested at a different level. And I do think we're ready for it, but like we said, you never truly know uh until you show up on Friday night and and actually get after it. >> Okay, coach. Good luck on Friday. >> Thank you. Appreciate your time. >> New Hampshire Football Official Association. Purchase and wear pink whistles through the month of August. >> And we're back here ready as the coin toss is happening at midfield. >> Together we can make captains from each side talking to the officials figuring out who will start this game here. >> Early season, Bill, >> the Bedford Bulldogs. Wide margin in their first four games. The closest being that Thornton Academy game that I mentioned, 2614. The others were all over 20 points

015a piece for the Exit Bluehawks. Again, they dropped a game last week against Winunn. They're coming in with that record of 3 and one. You were mentioning that win a kind of team was solid, physical, and the Blue Hawks had a tough time. >> Exiter has won the toss. They will receive. >> You heard the results of that coin toss. Exit wins. They'll receive. So, we will see this Bluehawk Tit offense as we get things started. The captains run back to their sides, pump up the sidelines, and we are just before kickoff here, ready to go. Bill, any other thoughts from that win a kind of game last week for exit? >> Yeah, we had a hard time stopping the run and in the past has attacked through the air last week. They were more

016run centric. They did throw the ball and can throw the ball and throw it well, but we couldn't stop the run when we needed to. And that's what happened. We led for most of the first half and early in the second half. However, once they got the lead down the stretch, we just couldn't stop them from gaining first downs and get the ball back. That's a tough part of it is if you can get that ball control run offense going and set up the pass certainly makes for good offense. And why pass if you don't need to if that run game continues to click on all cylinders. >> 12 minutes on the board here. Ready for first quarter action from Bedford High School. Elijah Todd will kick off. Back deep to receive. Will Tobin will

017take that center position flanked by Ray Plant >> and Colton Ray's Elijah Todd >> ready to go. Todd raises his hands, gets his coverage team ready, swings the ball through. It's high and deep. Will be taken just outside the 10 yd line. advanced up the left hand side out beyond the 25 close to the 30 yd line where the exit Blue Hawks will take over >> on this first possession of the game >> with the return. >> Again, we welcome in the BCTV crew on channels 8 and 1072 as well as WBNH, the listeners out there on 105.1. Blue Hawks first possession of the game on their own 29. They will get started. Tyler Ree will be under center. The tight tee behind him. Two tights. And this will be a familiar set as the

018Bulldog defense will line up with a fiveman front. [Applause] Snap reverse pivot off the right hand side. They try to go over the right guard and they're stacked up at the line of scrimmage. may have even lost a yard, but they will give forward progress out to the 29. It'll be second and 10 for the Blue Hawks. Tough to see who was on that uh tackle there. They tried to go at all everything dackle Connor Flareity the senior captain is a load to move at 64 and 300. Big number 71 clogging up things in the middle. Ree is under center again. Tight T behind him. Two tight set. Takes the snap. He's going to pass it as he rolls out into the right flat. Delivers deep. It is just caught. Pass complete out beyond the

01940 to Tobin. Tobin on the catch. And they'll mark him out of bounds at the 41. That's a first down for the Blue Hawks. Little wrinkle there as we're accustomed to such a heavy run game. And on second down, they they go to the air and get the first down. Great pitch, great catch. Tobin arms outstretched and gets his feet in bounds on the near sideline. Tobin is a good pass catcher. He showed it so far during the year. I tell you what, these tubas are back, man. They're going to just get in my way. They do it every week. They're killing me here. Green back under center wing left. two two running backs behind him in the back field. Longer count. They'll try the left side of the line. Get clogged up as they

020try to run in between that guard and tackle on the left hand side ahead for maybe one yard. It'll look like it'll be second and nine. >> That was Cole Kelly on the carry. >> Cole Kelly number six, the senior running back. >> 5'11 170 on the roster. >> Second and eight. trying to get that big body through the line. >> The Blue Hawks will try to run that wing T set with the wing back tight to try and loosen up the defense a little bit, make them respect outside a little bit more. Same formation here as that wing is to the left hand side. Ree under center. Long count. Man in motion goes far out to that left hand side and Ree's going to pass. rolling out to the right hand side, passes up

021and caught again. Patrick H, excuse me, Ray Plant on the catch. Two for two is Ree and the Tubmanas were in my way again. It's amazing how they're always in the wrong position at the wrong time. First down for the Exer Blue Hawks. They're in Bedford territory at the 45 yd line and this first drive started back on their own 29 and they're moving the ball with regularity here. Two minutes into this game, >> still scoreless. This is the opening drive for the Blue Hawks. First and 10 on the Bedford 45 yd line heading in. Reme center. That wing T wing out to that left hand side. Pass to the man right up the middle. They hand it off. That was plant on the carry. That was inside trap part of their running attack and

022uh Bedford did a good job in uh stopping that. >> Those big D linemen stacked it up right at the line of scrimmage. It'll be second and 10. >> Coach Ball keeping this defense on their toes as again I think they were anticipating a much heavier run offense and we've seen two 10 plus yard catches already in this opening drive for the Blue Hawks. Green back to that tight tee. Straight tee behind him. Two tight set. Calls out the signals. Takes a snap. He'll roll left. Look downfield. Retreats. Pass downfield is incomplete. We get a flag thrown in from the back judge. Could be defensive holding from that kind of position. And we are sorry. We have the signal. Hold. We're privileged enough to have the referee with a mic tonight. So, we should hear

023quite clearly what's going on down there on the field. And it is going to be on the defense. That official goes over to coach Ball to ensure the situation is straight and see what they want to do and how they're going to adjudicate things. [Music] Line of scrimmage was 45. The flag is down at the Bedford 37 yd line. We will hear >> initial >> defense 10 yd penalty. First down >> holding on the defense. So they march it ahead to the 35 yd line in Bedford territory. First down for the Blue Hawks on this opening drive of the evening. Ree gets the signals from the sideline. He trots back into the huddle. and he'll get things straightened out for his offense. [Music] They're out to the line of scrimmage. Wing left formation. Rem under

024center. Two tight set. Long count. Rem takes the snap. Hands it off to the left hand side. Slicing through quickly. Linebacker Brody Helton. Tackle for loss. That was Cole Kelly. Kelly on the carry will lose two, maybe three. Looks like they'll mark him at the 38 yd line. So a three- yd loss for Kelly. >> Blitzing linebacker Hilton there from that middle line linebacker position was able to slice through that offensive line and make a tackle for loss. >> I think I should have brought a booster seat here with with the tubas. >> See, it's not just me with the tubas. They're right in the way. They're killing me. It's all right. Hey, we love the spirit they bring to the game. Two tight set. Wing left. Rem under center again. He takes the snap.

025He'll look downfield. Feels pressure right away and throws it away. Interesting here. and thought they might be able to call a grounding there as there was no receiver in the area, but no flag is out. So, it'll be third and 13. Ball marked at the Bedford 38. [Music] And they do throw the flag. So, there it comes. I was kind of anticipating that to come out a little bit earlier, Bill. And they finally do throw it. And I'm anticipating an intentional grounding call here. As Ree was trying to get rid of it, he felt pressure up the middle, chucked it out to the sideline. I think he hit coach ball with that ball and uh unfortunately that would be a penalty on >> intentional grounding offense. 5 yd penalty from the spot of the foul.

026>> Third down. >> So the flag was at the Bedford 46. It's 5 yds from there. So the Hawks are back in their own territory at their own 49. And they need to make the 25. So third and 26 here. Not the usual down in distance that you have a play golf called golf for, Bill. I'm not sure about your playbook. No, I think we're going to see something in the air. >> And we don't. We see a little reverse pivot there. And they have some room on the carry. Cole Kelly gets ahead for >> gez about 15 yds, but still not enough. They needed to get to the 25. So it'll be fourth and 13 ball on the 38. >> And you know this is the first punt I've seen all season for the

027Blue Hawk. >> That is remarkable right there. Snap is back. Received well. That was Ray Plant on the punt and he angles it out of bounds very nicely right at the five yd line. So excellent special teams as Plant kicks it out of bounds. angled it over to that far sideline and it bounces out of bounds at the five where the Bulldogs will take over on their first offensive possession. >> Bulldogs are hard to drive. >> You know, Ree, I think, watched too much of the pros where they can throw it away anywhere. There's got to be a receiver in the area and unfortunately for the Blue Hawks, that was a correct call. That was a tough one there and it really set the offense behind the sticks, well behind the sticks, and they couldn't

028recover. So they punt it away apparently for the first time this season and the Bulldogs will take over. Three receivers out to the left for Matthews. Helton stacked behind him. Fakes the handoff. Pitches it out to the left. He has his man. It's complete for five sixyd gain. >> And that's Landon Ellour on the catch. >> This is first action for Ellour so far this season. going to play >> and that is a great athlete to get back in your lineup. Els Moore, a wide receiver, talented athlete. He plays on the basketball team as well. Will be second and four for Matthews and this Bulldog offense. Three receivers set out to the left, tight right, Hton behind Matthews. They fake it to Hton and they give it on the end of round as Bryson Derso

029on the carry. He's ahead across the 15 yd line for a first down. They'll move the sticks and that's an important first down for the Bulldogs to get to get out of the shadows of their goalposts. >> That was Bryson. >> Ticks under seven minutes to go here in the first quarter. 0 is your score as the Bulldogs host the Exit Bluehawks. >> Three receivers out to the left for Matthews. Helton to his right. Tight right. Matthews takes the snap. Hands it off to Helton. He'll break break it out to the left hand side. Gets out beyond the tackle and they head for another first down as he crosses the 25 down at the 27. >> That was Brody Helton with the carry. Tackled by Sam Gibney. >> Well, Bedford's moving the ball here on

030their first possession of the football game. They sure are as they normally do. >> Balls on the left. Hash. >> Three receivers to the right of this formation. One split left. Helton to the right of Matthews in the back field. >> Helton takes the snap. Good catch as he one-handed stabbed that. He rolls to his right. Delivers downfield. Caught. Pass is caught at the 40 yd line. complete to number two Dylan Belair and they have another first down on the 40. >> So efficient offense so far mixing the run with the pass. >> Three first downs and the Bulldogs offense is rolling. >> First and 10 for the Bulldogs at their own 40. >> Nice catch by Belair there as he got his hands out and away from his body. Didn't rely on the shoulder

031pads to trap it against his chest. Four receiver set for Matthews. Helton to his right. >> Ocean man from right to left. That's Bescar. Matthews fakes the handoff. Delivers downfield. Complete. Nice catch. Beautiful catch out and away from his body. Landon Ellour hitting the post pattern right up the seam. >> Catch by Landon. He's inside Bluehawk territory down at the 32 yd line. >> Phenomenal play there for the Bulldogs offense. Little playaction pass for Matthews. Stuns the linebackers. Ellour is able to get in behind them and makes a juggling catch to get this Bulldogs offense into Blue Hawk territory. [Applause] Three receivers to the left here for Matthews. Ellour split to the right. Helton stacked in behind Matthews. They'll hand to hand hand it off to Hton. He goes to the left hand side. Dodges

032one tackler at the 28 yd line. Gets it down to the 21. Close to another first down. He made a nice little jump cut there to uh leave a Blue Hawk defender in his wake who grabbed nothing but air. >> Little cut there as he has want to do. Phenomenal feat for a very large individual. Helton at 5'11 215 yet very nimble with his cuts. He is to the right of Matthews now in a four receiver set. They fake to Hilton. Matthews will take it down himself and has some room up the middle down close to the goal line and he is in. Touchdown Bennett Matthews. 21 yd scamper for Matthews and the Bulldogs go up 6-0 here with 436 to go in the first. You can see Matthews again faking that handoff to Helton.

033Very good deception in the back field by uh Bedford. So, the Bulldogs will try the extra point. Elijah Todd takes his steps back. He's ready to kick. [Applause] Snap is back. Hold is down. The kick is up. It looks good. It is good. 70 is the score as Bennett Matthews puts these Bulldogs ahead here in the first quarter as he runs for a 21 yd touchdown on their first possession of the game. Well, we were expecting a a running game and a battle inside in the trenches. And looks like what we've got is a passing attack with a sprinkling of runs. Yeah, honestly, Coach Matthews does a great job of of mixing it up. Tries to stay about 50/50, probably a little bit more heavy on the run, maybe a 6040 split. And the Bulldogs

034here do that nicely on this opening drive. A 95 yd touchdown drive orchestrated by Matthews. Couple big runs by Hilton along the way. A huge catch by Landon Ellour who has returned to this lineup and then capped off by a 21 yd touchdown run by Matthews. 70-0 is your score. 436 remaining here in the first. The Bulldogs lead the Blue Hawks this evening. Elijah Todd ready to kick it back to the Blue Hawks. >> Line drive deep. fielded at the 15 yd line. Taken out past the 30 to the 32 yd line where the Blue Hawks will have their second possession starting on their own 32. >> That was Tobin when they return. >> That was Tolbin on the return. The engine was hard to drive at their own 32. Tobin did a nice job

035of tucking it under his arm, getting it straight up the middle. Cover team did well. Capture him after about a 15 17 yd return. And it's first and 10 for this Blue Hawk offense. Tight T behind Re. Too tight set. Rem under center. takes a snap off to the left hand side over the left tackle. That ball looked like it popped out. Something was floating around there. Couldn't quite see it, but it looks like the Blue Hawks recover it there. >> I'm not sure if you saw the same thing, but it looked like that ball came out. >> Our replay is not working here in the booth. I'm sure people at home are being able to take a look at that. It'll be second and eight after a two-yd game, but >> certainly looked like

036that ball was loose. >> That was a fullback toss and he cut it up inside off the tackle and uh >> whether he held on to it or not, they said he did. Ree under center again. Tight T formation. Two tight end set. Takes the snap. Hands it. Does not hands it. Hand it off. He's out in the right flat. He's going to tuck it under his arm and run out of bounds closer to the 35 yd line close to the original line of scrimmage. They might give him a yard on the carry. >> It'll be third and long at their own 35. They need to get out past the 42 yd line. So third and seven for this Blue Hawk offense on their second offensive possession. 333 to go here in this first quarter.

03770 your score as Matthews put the blue, excuse me, put the Bulldogs up >> on a 21 yd touchdown run. Ree calls out the signals in the huddle brings the Blue Hawks to the line of scrimmage. Two tight set. That tight tee behind him in the back field. >> He takes the snap, fakes the handoff, tries to get out to the left hand side. He's going to be sacked back at the 25 yd line. Getting in there quickly. Number 20 Cody Bayer. >> Sack in the back field by Cody. >> Bayer getting in quickly from that right side of the defense. And now ready to punt very quickly is this Bluehawk special teams unit. They will punt gets it away out end over end. Punt bounces at the Bulldog 48 fielded by Helton. and he'll

038take it straight up the middle. Dodges four or five tacklers and then pushed out of bounds with a flag down close to the tackle. He is in Blue Hawk territory, but let's see what that yellow hanky means. >> We'll see where the Bulldogs offense will resume their duties. Right now, it the officials are standing on the Blue Hawk 43 yd line. They're indicating a foul on the coverage team. >> Participation on the defense. 12 men on the field at the snap. It's a 15 yd penalty. Replay. Fourth down. So they they I was going to say one thing Exer is known for when they punt they came they come off the sidelines and they get right into punt formation. There's no hesitation at all. And uh I think they caught one of the guys not

039hustling off the field. They they did. That foul was on the Bulldogs. Too many men on the field. 15 yd penalty does not get them a first down, but it looks like the Bulldogs will keep their defense on there as the Blue Hawks have a fourth and two. >> Fourth down and three. >> And this is an early opportunity for coach Ball to go for it on fourth down. Again, could be trying to bait an off size with a hard count as they're on their own 40 yd line. Might be trying to get it the easy way here. We'll see what happens. 225 in counting. Ree under center wing right calls out the signals. They'll run the play. Little counter misdirection in the middle there. He's going to be very close to that first down

040yardage. The far side official seems to be giving him. The near side official does not. And they do get to the 43 and it is a first down for the Blue Hawks. They move the sticks on a critical fourth and two here early in this first quarter. Well, special teams paid off for the Blue Hawks on that, keeping possession of the ball because they came out, hustled onto the field, got in their stances, made sure everyone was set, and kicked the ball while Bedford had not with too many people on the field. They absolutely did. Not efficient in their substitutions and and they paid for it as the Blue Hawks resume their offensive possession on the 43 yd line. We'll get some confusion here on that far sideline. I think they're going to substitute the

041ball. Switch that one out as I believe it was one of the Bedford balls. So they'll put an exit ball on the field. Right hash 43 yd line >> in their own territory. They continue this drive that started at the 32. Had some penalties. Had a sack. Went for it on fourth down. And they keep possession here. Tight T behind Re. Hands it off. Second man through. Squirting through and ahead for about five yardds on the carry was Cole Kelly. Second and five for this Blue Hawk offense. You know, Bedford is bringing nine people into the box. It makes it ex They basically have the Blue Hawks lineman outnumbered uh with nine in the box like that. Stacking the box, daring this Blue Hawk offense to throw the ball. They've done it a couple times

042on their first possession to no avail as they came up empty. Tight T behind Re again as they look to get points on the board in this second possession. Spins out, hands it to the third man through. >> I think that >> he might have a loss there. Yeah, I think Colton Ray on the carry. The sophomore >> getting the carry there. >> And he's get got pushed back. Loses a yard. So it'll be third and six. Flity credited with the tackle there. Senior captain there. [Music] 45 seconds to go here in this first quarter. 70-0 is your score. The Bulldogs ahead on the exit Blue Hawks. But Tyler Ree trying to guide this Bluehawk offense to pay dirt. hands to the second man through again. They go off to the left hand side and

043no, it was a play action fake. It's complete down the left hand side and a lot of room to run. He looks like he's gone into the end zone. Touchdown. Phenomenal deception there on the play action pass. Colton Ray with the touchdown. Ball way back on the exit 47. That would be a 53 yd touchdown catch. [Music] for number 23 Colton Ray. >> Nicely drawn up. Once he got around that left edge, the Bulldogs were not able to catch up. So 76 for the moment. Connor Bishop getting ready to uh kick the extra point and we'll take a timeout here. >> Charge timeout exit. That is their first time out of the half. >> Didn't feel like they had the appropriate personnel or perhaps they're going to consider a two-point conversion here. >> You know

044what I think happened? I think one member of the kicking team was slow to get on the field. Coach Ball was worried about getting a delay and rather than get penalized, use one of his timeouts to make sure that he gets the kickoff in time. Good choice by coach Ball to give his special teams unit a little bit extra time. Ball still spotted on that three yd line. No penalty. And Connor Bishop will come back out, line things up. Ball will be spotted on that 10 yd line as usual. Holder number 16, Tyler Ree the quarterback. So, with 19 seconds remaining here in the first quarter, Blue Hawks look to even things up. It looks good. It is good. And we have a tie score here right at the end of the first quarter. Great

045job by Tyler Ree. Great play fake. Fooled the defense. Fooled me. I thought he had given it to that second man through, but no, he had Colton Ray on the outside. a little swing pattern, got to that left edge and took it to pay dirt. >> The pass had enough air underneath it to allow the running back to catch it and catch it in stride and go. >> You know, with nine men on the box to stop the run, if they bite and one of the backs filters out into the uh the the back field, out of the back field, he should be open. And he was >> getting those defensive backs to bite. There's only three of them back there. Excuse me, two of them >> with nine in the box. So, >> great

046play call executed to perfection and Colton Ray puts this Exit Bluehawk offense on the board. 7-7 is your score. Connor Bishop ready to kick it off back to the Bulldogs. A little bit short. It'll bounce at the 22 and bounce out of bounds. We'll see the flag come down as that kick goes out of bounds. >> Flag on the play for the kick going out of bounds. >> The Bedford Bulldogs golf team improved to 22-0 this week with two more victories at Windham and Dairfield. I heard that stat earlier this week. 22 and0. I mean, that's ridiculous. >> It is. Their final regular season match is Tuesday for senior day at Manchester Country Club at 2:30. >> Good luck to the Bedford Golf team at their own. >> So the Bulldogs will have possession at

047their own 35. 19 seconds to go here in this first quarter and they look to respond to that big play for the Blue Hawk offense. Three receivers out to the left for Matthews. Helton stacked behind. Tight end is to the right. Zayn Bescar. They fake the handoff. Swing it out wide left. Here's Derso. Avoids one tackler. Gets out beyond the first down yardage and pushed out of bounds across the 45. >> Looks like they'll have him out at the 46. >> A nifty open field move. >> And the open field move. And part of part of the the reason that move was successful. Gibney is hurt. >> He rolled his ankle. >> 46 yd line to plant. >> That looked like it was actually number four Patrick Hathaway and he did roll his ankle and

048he's not putting any weight on it. He'll come to the near sideline and talk to the training staff here on the Bedford sideline. He's not doing too well. So, we hope he's okay. First down for the Bulldogs on their own 46. Nifty footwork there by Bryson Derso. We've seen him emerge as a phenomenal option for this Bulldogs offense. And now again they have Ellour back in the lineup as well to add another dimension. 10.9 seconds to go here in the first quarter. 77 is your score. Matthews trots back to the huddle. You know, the first quarter seemed to fly by and then these last 16 19 seconds have taken forever. I totally agree with that as that clock seemed to go with a lot of running plays, very few incomplete passes, very few players pushed

049out of bounds. But yeah, this this last I don't know 25 seconds or so, there's been a touchdown, there's been an injury, there's been some players going out of bounds and all kind of delays in this first quarter, this this last few seconds. So, Matthews again brings the Bulldogs offense to the line of scrimmage. Four receivers set for Matthews. Helton behind him two yardds behind Matthews in the gun. Sends a man in motion. It's Derso. He'll hand to Helton's off to the left hand side. Gets a block. Gets out to the edge down the sideline and he stepped out of bounds. So, he will be out of bounds closer to the 37 yd line. Still, it's another first down for this Bulldog offense and they'll get another play before this first quarter expires. >> That

050one's good for a first down. >> So, first and 10 for the Bulldogs on the Blue Hawk. 37 4.7 seconds to go >> as the all black clad Bedford Bulldog offense trying to respond to that 53 yd touchdown catch by Colton Ray, the sophomore Blue Hawk. Three receivers out to the right, one to the left for Matthews. Helton to his left. Matthews in the gun. Five yds deep. Looked like a false start there. Bulldogs will march back five yards. Oh, they might be calling it offside. >> Gez, I shouldn't be so quick to say what I think it is, but looks like they're going to march the offense back five yards. So, while the officials sort things out, >> Bulldogs will regroup in their huddle. They seem to think it's on them. >> False start

051offense. 5 yd penalty. Replay. First down. >> And there it is. That 5 yd penalty. >> That'll make it first down and 15. really far. >> So, first and 15 >> for the Bulldogs >> on the exit 47. >> Matthews back to the line of scrimmage. Four receivers set. Helton stacked behind him. Two yds beyond. Motion man is bestar. Left to right. The defense adjusts. Little toss sweep to help. He'll take it out to the right hand side. He's got some room. He's got more room. He's inside the 30. Knocked out close to the sticks for the first down. Might be just shy. >> You know, good blocking by the uh wide receivers. They got out. They got out there. They're not just there to catch passes. They were >> there was some very good

052blocking. >> There sure was. Looked like Helton got the first down on the 27 yd line for the Exit Blue Hawks. And that'll do it for this first quarter of play. We end the first. 77 is your score after a 21 yd touchdown run by Bennett Matthews started the scoring and that was answered right away by the Blue Hawks on a 53 yd touchdown catch by Colton Ray. Bill, any other thoughts from that first quarter? Well, you know, I've been impressed with uh >> the running back number 21. He has great acceleration. Brody Hilton at Alurn High School >> when he took that pitch around down the sideline here. >> He's an impressive player. He has been an impressive player since his sophomore year as a starter. And honestly, his career numbers would be a

053lot higher if he didn't sit the second half of many games based on the score alone. So, uh, I' I've been, you know, lucky enough to watch him for three years. Marvelous football talent. We want to make sure that we're thanking our underwriters. We at BCTV and WB&H would like to thank them for supporting our live sports coverage. Primary Bank, the Wix Insurance Group, Interim Healthcare of Manchester, Nelson Real Estate of New Hampshire, and great New Hampshire restaurants, T-Bones and the Copper Door. We appreciate them for their support of our live broadcasts. 12 minutes back on the board. We're ready to start this second quarter. Matthews in the gun has help behind him. Three receivers to the left, one to the right. Motion man is bestar. Goes left to right. Now back to the left.

054They hand off to Helton. Tries it up the middle now. Bounces it out to the left hand side. He goes out beyond the tackle and gets ahead for 5 yds or so. We'll call it second and five. Quick shout out to the boys soccer team. They defeated Pinkerton last night. They improved to 80 and3 on the season and return to action on Tuesday as they host Keen at 700 p.m. >> Helton there. They give him four. So let's call it se second and six on the blue hawks 24 yd line. Matthews to pass out in the left hand flat. Ellour with the catch. It's complete down to the 15 yd line. Out of bounds with the reception >> and it is a first down for the Bulldogs as they're into the red zone. tackled by

055Shane. >> That is a huge dynamic that this Bedford Bulldogs offense has not had. Again, we saw the emergence of Bryson Derso >> in addition to Matthews and Helton. And now Ellour >> is a great add to this offense providing athleticism, hands, and speed on the outside. Matthews, three receivers to his right, Ellour to the left, helping stack behind him. In motion is Derso. He'll hand to Helton off the right hand side. Avoids one tackler. Breaks two or three. Gets down to the two yd line. >> Maybe the three where the Bulldogs will have a first and goal on the three is where they'll mark it. >> Raymond Plant playing two ways. Made the tackle there. >> I appreciate your observation in that last comment as you were talking about the stock walking on the

056outside. Those receivers are not out there just for show. They get out, they engage those defensive backs, and they give Helton a little bit of room and possibly a two-way go, giving him the choice of which way he wants to cut, earning their keep, both catching the ball as well as blocking. Three receivers out to the left for Matthews. Besar goes in motion left to right. He'll take the snap, hands it to Helton. goes up the middle and he squirts into the end zone. >> It is a touchdown for the Bulldogs. >> They go ahead on a three-yd touchdown run from Brody Help. [Applause] Extra point to come as Elijah Todd will trot out. You can see there on the replay, Hton takes it right up the middle and takes it into the end zone.

057Three-yd touchdown run. >> Setting up a conversion is Elijah Todd. >> Snap is back. Hold is down. Kick is up. It looks good. It is good. And the Bulldogs retake the lead 14-7 with 10:09 left to go in this first half. a very efficient second possession for the Bulldogs offense. You know, that's the difference in the game right now is that neither team is really stopping the other. Exit stopped themselves with that intentional grounding penalty on their very first possession and they had moved the ball deep into Bedford territory. Bedford's offense is difficult for the Blue Hawks to number one figure out who has the ball and number two >> to tackle the ball carrier when they have it. >> Yeah. And it shouldn't go unnoticed that the the Xer Blue Hawks continued that second

058offensive possession on that fourth and two play after inciting the penalty on the punt attempt. So, efficient use of of their possession, extended it out after that fourth and two conversion, three-yd gain, and then shortly thereafter, a 53 yd touchdown catch for Ray. Kick fielded here by the upback number 85 for the Blue Hawks. And he downed himself. Cam Weissk >> on that return. He Well, no return as you mentioned. He he'll kneel it down at the 27 yd line. where the Blue Hawks offense will come back on. >> Will start this drive at their own 27 yd line. >> 10 minutes to go before halftime here. 14-7 Bedford. Bluehawks talking things over in their offense is in their huddle. They break the huddle to the line of scrimmage. Two tight ends set. Wing to

059the right hand side for Tyler Re. [Music] He's under center. Sends a man in motion. That's Cole Kelly. No handed. Second man through as 33 on the carry. Gavin Malry. >> That was Gavin Mry with the carry. >> He's ahead for about 5 yds. Second and five for the Blue Hawks on their own 32 yd line. You can see coach Paul is trying all the tricks he knows to try and loosen up that Bedford front. >> But it certainly worked on that misdirection on the long touchdown. We'll see other what other kinds of tricks he has up his sleeve. And Bill, honestly, you probably know them all better than Coach Ball does at this point, huh? >> Uh, I've seen them. >> Wing to the right hand side. Two tights for Ree. He's under center.

060Sends a man in motion. Similar play call here. Cole Kelly and coming in and getting the quarterback sack. Brody Helton squirts through on the middle linebacker Blitz. And it's a huge loss back to the 20 yd line for the Blue Hawks. Well behind the sticks. Now they'll see a third and 16, maybe 17 depending on the mark. [Music] You see Hton squirting through right there untouched. gets all the way to Re and makes the shorthanded tackle. So, a third and 15 for the Blue Hawks. >> Third down and 16. >> So, the Blue Hawks back to the line of scrimmage again. They trail 14-7 with 8:30 to go here in the first half. Big sack by the Bulldogs defense. Third and long for the Blue Hawks. Ree hands it off to the left hand side.

061tackled quickly there. Helton there again on the tackle as they get back to the line of scrimmage. Fourth and 15 and the Blue Hawks will be forced to punt. They're hustling out trying to catch this Bulldog special teams unit >> on the fly again. >> Snap is back and they almost get it blocked. They'll pull it down and run. Getting out close to the first down. They step out of bounds. We'll see where they mark him. And he's short of the first down. That was Ray Plant. I'm not sure if that was designed or not, but he looked like he was feeling pressure right up the middle >> and couldn't quite get to the first down. So, they were going to punt. Pulled it down and it'll be a turnover on Downs as he is

062out of bounds at the exit 34 yd line. Tough field position play there. Yeah, like you said, I'm not I don't know if that was by design or if he just felt >> that the punt was going to get blocked. I'm not sure. There was a Bedford special teams player that was very close to him as he was ready to take his last step to put that foot into it. So, I'm guessing that it was an audible by Plant and >> charge timeout. That is their first timeout of the half >> and ran for it. Unfortunately, not enough yardage to get that first down. So, the Bulldogs will take over in deep in exit territory on the 34 yd line. They'll take a timeout to talk things over >> to make sure that they capitalize

063on this phenomenal field position >> with players being selected October 10th at our home football game as of last Monday. So 750 to go here in the first half. Bulldogs ahead 14-7. Touchdowns by Matthews and Helton. >> The Blue Hawks got a 53 yd touchdown catch by Ray. And that is your scoring here in this first half. >> Bill, you're saying Coach Ball's trying to loosen up that front line. What do you think about their ability to stop the defense and stay tough on their defensive front line? >> Uh, good luck next week. >> Well, that has been an issue all year long so far. So, >> it is no different tonight. Uh yeah, I mean we play three down linemen and use an ex extra linebacker, [Applause] but we do have problems stopping the

064run. Motion left to right is Besar. He'll settle in. Four receivers set for Matthews. He hands it off up the middle. Help weaves his way through. Gets to the second level and he's gone. 10 five. >> They call it a touchdown. and he dives in, gets to the pylon, and a 34 yd touchdown run by Brody Helton puts the Bulldogs up 20 to7 with the extra point to come. >> Yeah, the issue there is he gets through the line of scrimmage untouched, and he gets into the back field, makes one move, makes someone miss, and then he's off to the races. He sure is off to the races. He has the size and strength to get through that front line and then the shiftiness to get past that second level. He breaks out into this

065right hand side near sideline and gets to the pylon before the Blue Hawks can take him down. Brody Helton 34 yd touchdown run. That's the second of this quarter. Snap is down. The hold is down. It looks good. It is good. And the Bulldogs take a 21-7 lead here with 741 to go in the first half. >> Has declared where he is. I assume he's going to continue to play for your assumption is actually inaccurate. He's going to play lacrosse for a division one program. I believe he is committed to Rutgers University to play lacrosse. So, a phenomenal athlete and he shows those feet and that strength and that power on that run. Well, it makes sense. He's got the shiftiness and he doesn't mind contact and I bet he is excellent in lacrosse. He

066is quite a lacrosse player and it's fun to watch him play. Brings that physical nature to the lacrosse field. running through checks, bringing the hammer on the defensive side, too. But here he scampers for a 34 yd touchdown run and puts the Bulldogs up by two scores. 741 to go here in the first half. >> Elijah Todd ready to kick it back to the Blue Hawks. Coverage team is set. Swings it through. Low liner taken by the upback again and he'll go down. Pretty much the same spot. Same person, same catch, same spot. Cam Weiss Weiskiel will catch it and kneel down at the 28 yd line and the Blue Hawks offense is back on the field. Okay, what the Blue Hawks need to do now is possess the football. Bedford is a little too

067explosive right now. They need to stop their momentum, possess the football, gain some first downs, drive the ball down the field, and get back in the football game. The Bulldogs offense can't score if they don't have the football. So, some ball possession here, as you say, will be important for Tyler Ree and this Blue Hawk offense. Wing left set for Re. He's under center. [Music] Takes the snap. Hands off. First man up the middle, left guard and with some room to run. That's Ray Plant. Good run. 12 or 13 on the carry. Gets out past the 40. They mark him at the 42. The Blue Hawks have a first down. >> Squirted through quickly through that defensive line. Yeah, >> inside trap. >> Good blocking up front by the big man and gave Plant a

068big enough hole that he could get to that next level. 13 yd gain for Plant. First down for the Blue Hawks. T is set behind Re. He's under center. Takes the snap. Second man through. And a blockade at the line of scrimmage right there at the 43 yd line. No gain on the play. Second and 10. >> These tubas, man, they're killing me, Bill. >> All game, every game. They're not doing wonders for me. >> I might have to stand up for this. So 644 and counting in this first half. >> 21-7 is your score. The Bulldogs over the Blue Hawks at this point. >> Ree with that straight T behind him. Two tight set. He's under center. He takes the snap. Reverse pivot. Second man through. He he fakes the handoff. Playaction pass delivered

069over the middle. It's complete out past the 50 yd line. We saw a flag come in late >> from the flag from the back judge. Flew a long distance. That's usually in the neighborhood of defensive holding. >> I almost think it might have been It looked like he got him up by the helmet. I'm wondering if it's a face. >> See what the call is here with 618 left in the first half. Look >> like about a 9 yd gain on the play. Pass was complete as Ree was rolling out to his right. Had some patience, found the man open, delivered and completed it. >> Holding >> defense 10 yardd penalty from the previous spot. That results to the first. >> So that holding on the defense is called. They march it ahead to the

070Bedford 48 yd line >> territory >> where the Blue Hawks will have a first down. >> Try to get some points on the board before this first half expires. There's 6 minutes and 10 seconds to go. Should have plenty of time and I think we're about ready to evade these tubas. Ree under center. Too tight set. >> Wing to the left hand side. Ree takes the snap, hands it off. First man through, stopped in his tracks pretty quickly. Number three, Ray Plant on the carry. >> Two yardd gain. Second and eight, maybe only one as they mark it at the 47. So oneyd gain, second and nine. Next few broadcasts for BCTV crew. Field hockey versus the Winnant Warriors on Monday at 5:30. The boys soccer team will take on Keen Tuesday at 7. And

071then we will have the football game next Friday against Nasha North Titans at 7:00 p.m. Ree under center takes the snap. Second man through misdirection. A little counter play gets it down to the 41 yd line. Six-yd gain. Third and three coming up for the Exit Bluehawks. >> Okay, the Blue Hawks are in four down territory now. They'll if they are not successful on third down, >> they won't punt it. They will go for it again. >> I would think so. >> Three yards and a count cloud of dust. >> Little Woody Hayes kind of thing. It's not dust anymore. It's little rubber pellets, right? >> Straight T behind Re. Too tight set. He's under center. takes the snap. Second man through inside the 40 yd line. Close to that first down marker, but I

072think he's still short. It's going to be fourth and maybe a long one short two. >> They mark it right at the 40 and they need to get down to the 38 yd line for this first down yardage. >> So fourth and two and as you said, four down territory. Coach Ball didn't even think twice as the offense stays on the field. >> Re >> under center. Two tight set. Straight T behind him. Hard count. They don't jump. Well, they do jump, but they don't go offside. And now we'll get a timeout. Coach Ball was trying the easy way. Now he'll try the X. >> Now we'll try for the No, they'll try the harder way. So, Coach Ball takes a timeout. They'll talk it over. Figure out what play call they want. >> Bill,

073Coach Ball's shoes right now. What call what what play are you calling or what play is he calling to get this two-yd first down? Uh, I I wouldn't be surprised to see either one of two plays. fullback toss to plant around one of the either to the short side or the long side of the field. I'm not sure which. Or >> Ree hasn't kept the ball yet. >> And he is fast enough to get to the outside and gain yardage where with with a keep. We haven't seen that yet. I wouldn't be surprised if it one of those two two plays right now >> because I don't think they're going to get it off tackle and I don't think they're going to throw for it. >> Okay. So, let's say Ree keeps it. Is this

074is just a a straight quarterback sweep or is he boot to the naked? >> He will go through his progressions through the fakes. >> All right. >> To get people to bite. >> All right. Let's see if you really did coach in this offense, Bill. Let's see what happens here. Fourth and two big play for the Blue Hawks offense. 348 to go here in the first half. Ree under center. Straight tea behind him. Two tight set. Calls out the signals. He'll take the snap. Fakes it. And what did you say? Quarterback keeping it to the outside, but he can't quite get around the edge. Brody Helton chases him down. Pushes him out of bounds. And it'll be a turnover on downs. >> Great call. By the way, you have coached in this offense. Amazing. I

075got my own Tony Romo here in the booth today. I love it. >> I've been around. >> Good call. >> You did mention Ree has some speed. He tried to get to the outside, but Helton was there. Was able to chase him down. So, >> it would have been a better call if he had got the first down. >> That's a fair statement right there. Turnover on downs. The Bulldogs take over on their own 41. >> This is an important possession here. The Blue Hawks want to stay in this football game. They've got to keep Bedford off the scoreboard in the last before half. Derso goes in motion. He'll take the jet sweep to the left hand side. Weaves his way back and across the formation into the middle and still is avoiding tacklers into

076Bluehawk territory and tackled at the 43 yd line. >> And you can see why Derso has added another dynamic to this Bulldogs offense. Tackled by Raymond Plant. >> Tackled by Plant for the Blue Hawks. First and 10 for the Bulldogs on the Blue Hawk 43. >> 320 in counting. And we'll see if the Bulldogs go into a hurry up offense of sorts. They do have the weapons to score quickly. So, we'll see what Coach Matthews wants to do here. >> Four receivers set, >> two to each side. Helton to the right of Matthews in the back field. Matthews in the gun. Derso will take another jet sweep the opposite way. Gets out to the edge ahead and brought down on the outside. >> Number 27 on the tackle. That's Jackson McDonald's. Surprised the horse collar

077flag didn't come out. It seemed like that was kind of kind of a >> No, he tough tackle. >> He hit him up by the shoulders, but he did not get him around the neck. Ball's marked at the 37 yd line. So it'll be second and four. >> 228 in counting for this Bulldog offense as they try to get more points on the board for before halftime. Four receivers set. Two left, two and right. Helton to the right of Matthews in the back field in the gun. Helton goes in motion out to the right flat. They fake it to him. Ell wide receiver screen to the left. He's receiving it. It's complete. He's got a lot of room up the middle inside the 20 and the Bulldogs are in the red zone again threatening with

078202 to go here in the first half. They move the chains. The ball is spotted at the 18 yd line and Matthews runs back to the huddle with some urgency. >> First and 10 from the exit 18 yd line. This drive started on their own 41 after that turnover on downs. Bill, you called it the quarterback sweep, but Ree just couldn't quite get the edge, so they turn it over. Now the Bulldogs looking to score here again. Bescar in motion left to right, goes back to the left. Matthews with the snap, looks down the middle, now to the right hand side, delivers it deep to the right, caught by Dersel right at the goal line. >> It's a touchdown. Late call. Phenomenal catch. Bryson Derso extending high, leaping high, pulling it down. And the Bulldogs

079into the end zone again. Phenomenal play, Bryson Derso. That was a great catch. He caught that in his hands. Extension. I mean, everything you'd want a wide receiver to do. >> 18yd touchdown reception. And the Bulldogs look to get the extra point on the board. Snap is back. Hold is down. The kick is low liner. It didn't look good, but it is good. 28-7 is your score as somehow Elijah Todd got that high enough >> and on target as it just squirted over the line and goes through the uprights in the most awkward fashion. So, The Bulldogs will take a 28-7 lead with 127 to go here in the first half. Well, kudos to Bedford. They did what they needed to do and unfortunately now they're going to because they get the kickoff to start

080the second half. That gives them a chance for a two scores before exit. Exiter has a minute 27. That's a tough possession for them to score. >> That sure is. This is not the offense that you would assume would get big plays. Although their one lone score was a 53 yd touchdown play to Colton Ray. So they do have some explosiveness there. They have some speed if they get to the outside. It is possible for them to put some more points on the board in this minute and a half left. >> Elisha Todd. >> Todd will kick it off. Worm Burner down the middle, fielded by the upback. >> Taken strong to that right hand side close to the 40 yd line is Sam Gibney. >> That was Sam Gibney with the return. >> They

081will mark him just shy of the 40. >> Well, both teams have two timeouts left. >> Let's see what the Blue Hawks come up with here. >> Will start this drive at their own. You're imagining a conservative approach by coach Paul here? >> Uh, well, he can't. You know, Bedford could use their timeouts if you've got to be able to >> I don't know if Coach Paul is conservative. >> He goes, he wants to score. He wants to compete and you can't compete by playing not to score. >> This is true. Rem under center. Two tight set. Straight T behind him. He takes the snap. Reverse pivot. Second man through off the guard. Squirting ahead for four yd gain. >> Maybe only three. They'll mark him at the 43 yd line. And the clock ticks.

082>> Second and seven for the Blue Hawks. >> What are you expecting a play action here? >> Well, you know what? They are going to do >> the Blue Hawks are not going to do what Bedford expects them to do. Bedford expects them to try and throw the ball. Instead, they run the >> gain of three makes it second and seven. >> So, second and seven here. They might expect another run. We'll see what happens. Straight T behind Re under center. Two tight set. Hands it off. Second man through. squirting ahead through that line out past the 50 yd line. >> That crowd. Yeah, absolutely. The crowd helped him move into Bedford territories. He's marked at the 49 yd line. They move the chains with 27 seconds to go and the Blue Hawks will try

083to get another playoff. They're quick to the line of scrimmage. >> Same formation. Reunder center. >> Get on that tackle. >> Calls out the signals. Takes the snap. Second man through >> another four maybe 5 yd gainry. >> He'll mark him at the Bedford 45 yd line. 32 and one and that'll do it for this first half of action. >> The Bulldogs riding high a 27 excuse me 28-7 lead at halftime. Scores by Derso. A phenomenal catch on an 18 yd grab. Helton on a 34 yd touchdown run, a three-yd touchdown run before that and a 21 yd touchdown run by Matthews. The exit Blue Hawks got a 53 yd touchdown catch by Colton Ray. That is their lone score in this first half. We'll take a break and join you on the other side.

088in Bedford, New Hampshire, where the Bedford Bulldogs lead >> the visiting Exit Bluehawks. 28-7 is your halftime score as the Bulldogs got touchdowns from Bennett Matthews on a 21 yd scoring run to open the scoring. >> Brody Helton had a three- yard touchdown run in the second quarter. along with a 34 yd touchdown run and Bryson Derso capped off the scoring for the Bulldogs with an 18yd touchdown catch. A phenomenal play. The Blue Hawks got a touchdown by Colton Ray, a 53 yd touchdown. For their only score, we are underway here in the third quarter. We had a couple of challenges here with our soundboard, so apologize for a little confusion as we come back. But the Bulldogs taking advantage of a potential double dip as they were able to score right before halftime and

089now will take the opening possession of this second half to start this drive. >> They'll start on their own 33 yd line. >> Bill, any other thoughts from that first half of action? Well, I'll be anxious an anxious to see how the Blue Hawks respond here after halftime and how their tackling be is. Matthews slings it out wide to Landon. Ellour, it's complete. He takes it out close to midfield. >> Quick little stop route on the outside. Sling it out to an athlete. try to get him to avoid a tackle or two. He's pushed out of bounds at the 50 yd line. So, first down for the Bulldogs as you see the quick little pass out to that left hand flat. >> Good blocking by the receivers out there as you've mentioned a couple times

090in the past. [Music] >> So, Ellour with the first down catch. Three receivers out to the right, tight left. >> Matthews has Helton to his left in the back field. Bulldogs trying to extend this lead. Matthews will keep it out to the left hand side. Nicely done. Good tackle there by 23 Colton Ray >> saw the >> quarterback Matthews. >> Ranging out to that left hand side trying to get out to the left hand side of the formation >> and Ray was able to >> quickly close that down for the Blue Hawks. Quick mention for the Bedford girls soccer team. They now sit at top the standings at 9 and2 after a tie with Pinkerton last night. The girls don't play again until next Saturday. They will travel to Nasha North for an 11:00 a.m.

091game. Matthews has three receivers out to the right, one to the left. Helton to his right in the back field. Takes the snap, hands it off to Hton. He goes to the left hand side, breaks the tackle. Now a second gets inside the 40 yd line. He'll be marked at the 38 where the Bulldogs will have a first and 10. >> Will Tobin came up from his safety spot and made the tackle. >> Senior defensive back Tobin finally pulling Helton to the ground. >> First and 10 for Better at the exit 39. >> So Matthews back into the huddle. They'll break. They mark him at the 39 yd line. So first and 10 on the 39 >> heading in for the Bulldogs. >> Matthews four receiver set. Hands it to and it's a reverse. Here's

092Ellour going back to the right hand side. He has blockers in front of him. Breaks a tackle with a stiff arm. We get some flags thrown in close to the 25 yd line. One from the back judge, one from the referee. So we'll see what happens there. Probably a hold. on the offense, but a little trickery by coach Matthews with a little wrinkle we have not seen as he gave to Helton and a little toss back to Ellour on the reverse. We'll see how the officials sort things out. taking some of this. >> So, the Bulldogs march backwards just a little bit. >> We will have that. This is what I was saying with >> first and two from the Blue Hawks 31. Kind of an unusual down in distance there as it's a spot

093foul. That foul happened well down the field. >> So first and two for the Bulldogs offense. Motion man is Derso fakes the jet sweep hands to help. He goes to the left hand side. Runs through and around some tacklers but gets pulled down nicely by Sam Gibney wrapping him up up high. pulls him down, but >> not after a >> 10yd carry and a first down for help. >> Good for a first down. >> Marked at the exit 21 yd line left hash >> for Bennett Matthews and this Bulldog offense. Best of luck to the crew team this weekend as the Bulldogs will have an inter squad scrimmage at Bulldog Landing. They're in action as Matthews is in action here. Four receiver set help to his left. Takes the snap, fakes the Helton off to

094the right side. Bennett Matthews takes it to the left inside the 15 down close to another first down. They'll mark him at the 13 yd line after an eight yd gain >> by Tobin. >> Tobin on the tackle again. Colton Ray helping out >> on that tackle as well. They mark it at the 13 yd line. So second and two for this Bulldog offense. Back to the line of scrimmage is Matthews. Looks like he has a little bit of a limp as he walks up to his shotgun position five yds deep. Let's keep an eye on that. Four receivers set help to his right. Takes the snap. Rolls to the right. Looks downfield. Receiver is covered. Looks back to left. Delivers over the middle. It's close but dropped down at the two or three yd

095line. Couldn't quite make the that connection with Ellour who was the intended receiver. Tough one there. You always hear don't throw late over the middle. He did throw late. He threw over the middle and he had his man. Just couldn't quite make the connection with Ellour. So pass incomplete. Third and two upcoming for the Bulldog offense. 28-7 is your score. 801 to go in the third quarter. The Bulldogs ahead by three scores. Looking to add on to that. Matthews four receivers set. He has three to the left, one split out to the right, helping stack two yards behind him. Motion man is best left to right. Takes the snap, hands it off to Matthews, tries to get that first down on the ground. I'm not sure that he got it. He might have actually lost

096a yard as he's dragged down behind the line of scrimmage. >> It'll bring up fourth down. >> They do mark it at the 13. So, it's still fourth down. Excuse me. Still two yards to go, but fourth down now. play. >> Jordan Yang with a big tackle there. >> This would be a 31 yd field goal, but coach Matthews is not hearing that. This is four down territory for him and they'll go for it on fourth and two. Four receiver set. Besar left to right motion. Helton to the right of Matthews. Matthews will keep it. He cuts it up. He has the first down and is tackled after four maybe five yd carry. Matthews with the carry. >> First and goal for the Bulldogs. They mark it at the >> seven or eight. Can't quite

097tell. Looks like the eight yd line close to the right hash where the Bulldogs have a new set of downs and look to ext expand this lead on this opening drive of the third quarter. Four receiver set again for Matthews. Helton two yds behind him in the gun. >> First and goal from the eight. >> Bescar motions right to left. Snap is back toss sweep to Helton out to the left hand side. Good blocking on the outside. He's into the end zone for a touchdown. Eight yd touchdown run for Hton. And he expands this lead. >> 347 with the extra point to come. Watch the block here by number eight. He just caves that. >> Caves the end in Helton runs over the defender on the goal line. Gibney just couldn't quite stop that head

098of steam. >> And Helton with his third touchdown on the game. Elijah Todd for the extra point. Snap is back. Hold is down. The kick is up. It looks good. It is good. And the lead is 357 with 637 to go in this third quarter. >> Bill, you mentioned coming in this Exit Blue Hawk defense was having trouble against the run and we've seen it all throughout the day with four touchdowns coming on the ground. Three by Helton, one by Matthews. And again, why why pass when you can run all evening, >> right? And you know, >> the Bedford offense is very explosive, >> creative, explosive, and they're running it to a tea right now. Right now, the title wave is coming and >> we're not in a position to stop it. >> Tough position

099to be in. 357 is your score. Bulldogs take the opening drive 67 yds to Pay Dirt as they were able to double dip again. Derso with that 18 yd touchdown catch close to the end of the first half. And now Bulldogs take that drive. First one in the third quarter. All the way down for another touchdown. Squib kick here >> by Todd. Gibney picks it up in the middle of the formation. tries to dance around but can't avoid too many tacklers and the Blue Hawks will start on their own 32 yd line. >> Tackle by Freddy Malmar >> Malmar on the tackle for the Bulldogs >> number 28 >> junior special teams >> will start this drive >> 632 to go in this third quarter and exit has their first possession of this second half.

100>> Re brings the offense to the line of scrimmage. Two tight set. Straight T behind him. He's under center and calling out the signals. Takes the snap. Reverse pivot. Third man through. Hands it off to Colton Ray. >> Ray ahead for maybe two yards. Second and eight. That was Colton Ray with the >> Bill. How else are you thinking Coach Ball is going to be able to switch things up on offense? You said he was trying to loosen up this defensive line, >> trying to get to the outside, trying to find a little little seam here and there. What are some other wrinkles we might see here in the second half? >> Well, I I think we're going to see him throw the ball a little bit. Uh, >> you know, he has a tried

101andrue formula that works. And is it working today? Right now, no. >> He has a little bit working right there as >> there you go. >> Colton Ray was able to break into the second level close to midfield on a strong carry out there. About 15 yds on the carry and he'll be marked at the 49 yd line. >> You know, Ray is a sophomore getting his first real taste of varsity competition. going against he went against a good Winnipe Warrior team last week. He's going against a very good Bedford team this week and he's grinding out some yardage and that was all inside right there. >> Absolutely. Just kept those legs pumping. Ran through one or two tackles and got ahead for about a 15 yd gain. First and 10 for the Blue Hawks

102at their own 49. Too tight. Straight T behind Ream. He's under center. Takes the snap. Reverse pivot. Second man through. Hand off. Maybe a yard on the carry. Looked like Tyler Merik number 39 on the carry. So, Coach Ball giving a carry here and there to a few different folks that we didn't see in that first half as well. We just saw the same play where that Ray just hit to the left. They ran it back to the right with with a different running back. They're pulling that guard and that guard's leading through. Second and eight for the Blue Hawks on the Bedford 49. Just over into Bedford territory. They'll hand it up the middle again. That was Colton Ray again. And we heard folks on the field call ball ball. That might have been

103a fumble. And a bulldog comes out with it. That's number 20 coming out of the pile with the ball. Cody Bayer. And that is a turnover. First turnover on the evening as the Blue Hawks fumble it away on their first possession of this third quarter. Oh yeah, >> Bulldogs will gain possession on their own 46 yd line. >> A tough outcome for the Blue Hawks on that first possession. >> I thought that personally I thought that was a slow whistle by the official. >> Ball should have been blown dead. >> Sure seemed like he had forward progress stopped at that point and those Bulldog defenders were tearing away at the ball trying to get it on the ground. They were successful, but to your point, we might have expected a whistle well before it came.

104Bedford takes a timeout after that quick change. Ball on their own 46 yd line. Coach Matthews wants to chat it over before he starts this possession. You know, if you don't, I know you have something to read, but I'm going to go back in time when we played the Pinkerton Astros at Exiter and Pinkerton had their way, kind of like Bedford is having today. Well, we met in the finals and when the W final whistle blew, the Blue Hawks won at Pinkerton. So, yes, things are not going the Blue Hawk way right now, but I'll tell you, Bluehawk fans, don't get your heads down. >> They will play better football. That's why you play the game, too. Every game is a different setting, a different situation, a different collection of players. As we know, there's

105some injuries on this Blue Hawk offense as well. contributors on both sides of the ball and that's uh making a tough night here for the exit squad. Matthews pulls it down, looks downfield, delivers it deep. He's got Landon Ellour deep and it's a touchdown. Landon Ellour with a 54 yd pitch and catch. >> The Bulldogs are up big. Phenomenal route. Great ball hits Ellour in stride with the toss >> and the Bulldogs are starting to stretch things out here. Derso in motion right to left. You see Bennett Matthews faking that pitching it straight down the field and in stride was Landon Ellour for six. Outstanding play. Usually on those quick changes, you might think about those big play opportunities, but it was after a timeout. Snap is back. Hold is down. The kick is up.

106It looks good. It is good. And it's a 42-7 lead for this Bulldogs team after two quick strikes here in the third quarter. Four minutes left in the third quarter. Bulldogs up big. >> If I'm correct, isn't it after 35 it becomes running time? >> I thought it was 30, but either way, we're above that. And yes, we are into running time. >> That's what I just saw him make the >> So, there are only a few things that stop the clock. scores, timeouts, injuries, but other than that clock will tick for the rest of this second half in pretty regular fashion. So, the Blue Hawks and that clock will move efficiently through the rest of this second half. >> Coach Matthews pretty excited about that one. Obviously, they talked about that during the timeout.

107felt they had the opportunity and Ellour was I don't know five seven yards beyond any of the defensive secondary. >> So >> you said he just came back from injury. He he certainly adds a different dimension to the offense. >> He sure does. The senior wide receiver 62 185 and he is a tremendous athlete. Little squib kick here from Todd. Fielded around the 30 yd line. brought back out to the 34 >> where the Blue Hawks will come back out on the field. >> Yes, as you mentioned, Ellour missed the first four games of this season. I'm not quite sure what the ailment was, but he was noticeably absent from both sides of the ball. Mostly on the offensive side, but contributes on the D end as well. >> That tackle was made by Cameron

108Santos. Now we have three and a half and ticking here in the third quarter. The Blue Hawks offense back on their own 34 yd line for their second possession of this second half. >> Okay, sophomore Asher Bartell is in the game at quarterback right now. >> Bartell number 13 >> takes the snap, hands it off the left hand side of the line and that's stacked up close to the line of scrimmage. We'll call it no gain, maybe a yard. We'll mark it at the 35 yd line. So, second and nine. >> Number 39, Tyler Mik, >> sophomore >> was running. >> Coach Ball getting his >> coach Ball is pulled. >> Getting his other players some playing time here as Bartell will be under center. Two tight set. Three backs and a T behind him.

109takes the snap, >> rolls out to the right hand side. Looked like a broken play. Delivers downfield. Incomplete. >> Intended receiver number two, Will Tobin. >> A little high and outside and incomplete. So, it'll be third and nine for the Blue Hawks. Ticking down to two minutes here in the third quarter. Appreciate everybody tuning in to BCTV, but if you're >> wanting WBNH coverage, it's easy to listen to Bedford 1051 online. Go to bedford1051.com for the stream link. We also stream on apps like TuneIntuner, Simple Radio, and Radio Garden. Just tell Alexa to play Bedford 1051. Bartell under center. Wing left formation. Too tight set for the Blue Hawks. He'll take the snap. Reverse pivot. Hands to the second man through. Tackled close to the line of scrimmage. Will be fourth and long after a

110one-yd gain. Fourth and eight on their own. >> Call it 36 yd line. Quick change for special teams as they'll look to punt it away here. [Applause] >> This is Ray Plant that will do the punting duties as he has all game. Snap his back fielded cleanly. Plant gets a good foot into it and gets a great bounce in the right direction for the Blue Hawks. So, it's down to the 22 yd line in Bedford territory where they will take over again. We'll see what coach Matthews does for this offensive possession. Likely getting some substitutions in of his own. >> Coach Matthews will talk things over before they take the field. >> I think that's going to be the end of the quarter. >> Sure will. as there are 15 seconds in counting in this

111third quarter. We'll take a quick pause in between the quarters and reset things, swap ends of the field and see how this fourth quarter will play out. 42-7 is your score. The Bulldogs up big after two strikes in the third quarter. Helton with an 8 yd run and Landon Ellour huge play after a fumble. Landon Ellour with a 54 yd touchdown catch from Bennett Matthews with a highlight play on the evening. Ran the post pattern, hit him in stride and Ellour was off to the races.

Snap is back. Almost fumbled. Gets it down. The run will go around the outside of the left part of this line of scrimmage. That's Freddy Malnar on the carry. >> That was Freddy Malnar with the carry. You know, all on both teams there are a lot of players and you know, this is a chance for some of the players who don't see a lot of time to go out there and play football,

113which is what they have practiced for all year long. So hopefully the fans hang with us here on the broadcast because this is an important time for all the players. Absolutely. Great chance for another few players to get some time on the field as Ryan Chef takes the helmet at quarterback for the Bulldogs. Forgive us if we're a little slow on names and numbers. Carrie here over the right hand side as Chef hands it off or again on the carry. >> That was Freddy. >> Maybe two yards on that carry. Looks like it'll be We'll give them three yards. Second and seven will be the down and distance on their own 37. >> That makes it second and seven. >> Chef takes the snap, hands it off, breaking a tackle here early, but then getting

114caught pulling tacklers out to the right hand side. Connor Sturgis on the carry beyond the 40 yd line to the 41. >> Tackle by Rich for the Blue Hawks. >> Third and three. >> I see number 62 Ethan Kramer in the football game for the Blue Hawks. >> Third and three for this Bulldog offense. Chef brings them back to the line of scrimmage. two backs in the back field with him. Three receivers out to the excuse me, two receivers in a slot formation to the left. Chef hands it off. Malnar again tries to take it up the middle. He's going to be short of the first down as he gets out to the >> 43. I think he's still shy. He needed to get to the 44 for first down. >> He's about a half

115a yard short. fourth and really short >> for coach Matthews in this offense. >> Ticking down to nine minutes here in the fourth quarter. Coach Matthews is going to punt this away. >> 427 is your score. The Bulldogs up big here in the fourth quarter. Coach Matthews sends on Elijah Todd to punt it away on fourth and short. >> On his own 43 yd line. Snap is back. Fielded cleanly. Punt is away and rather short to the near sideline. It bounces at the four, excuse me, 37 yd line and out of bounds where the Blue Hawks will take control >> in their own territory. >> 37 yd line. Blue Hawks have not been afforded great field position as their best starting position was their own 40 and that was right before halftime. Didn't really have

116much time on the clock with only just over a minute on the clock. So, the Bulldogs have managed field possession quite well with their special teams. Well, in a game that was 28-7 at halftime, Bedford is added to its advantage here and uh they played well. They played very well. >> They sure have put all the the right pieces in place. They've stayed relatively healthy and now again have added Ellour back into the mix after a four game hiatus to start the season. Back to the line of scrimmage is Asher Bartell under center. >> Two tight set. Straight T behind him. >> Hand off. >> Second man through pulling his way forward out beyond the 40 yd line. I believe that was Colt Gray on the carry again. >> You know, earlier in the game,

117Patrick uh Hathaway >> was injured, rolled an ankle, and I don't think we've seen him return. So the injury bug has struck the Blue Hawks and it continued again this week. >> Sure did. >> And here we have the tubas in the way again. I love it. >> Balls on the 41 yd line for the Blue Hawks in their own territory. Bartell under center. Takes it out. Looks to get the QB sweep sleep and he's going to be tackled behind the line of scrimmage. 5-yard loss as he tried to get out to the right hand side of the formation. It was wrapped up very quickly after he pulled down the fake >> marked back at the 37. It'll be third and 10 for exit. [Music] >> 13 and 10. You know, we've done a great

118job as far as getting more football officials out here to help the high school ranks, but if you're interested in becoming an official, check it out. nhiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.org for more information. Cartel under center takes the snap, pulls it down, tries to roll out to the left hand side, feels pressure, and he's going to go down. Sack behind the line of scrimmage back at the 29 yd line. Great pursuit there by the Bulldogs defense in on the tackle. Freddy Malnar applying pressure and pulling down Bartell. Good pursuit from the linebacker. Not giving Bartell an opportunity to release that ball. So Blue Hawks will punt it away. Plant gets his foot into it. Nobody back to receive the punt for the Bulldogs and it will be down inside Bedford territory at the 36 yd line. [Music] >> So

119the teams exchanging punts here at the last part of the third quarter and into the fourth. I'm giving the Tubas a hard time. I really do appreciate the Bedford marching band and their stand tunes. [Applause] Great entertainment for all of the audience here. >> I'm a little biased, too, Bill. I don't think you knew, but my daughter was one of the marching band for several years and led the band for a little while. Had a great time doing it. Three receivers out to the left for Chef. He'll take it. Hand it off to Melnar off the left hand side for a two-yd gain or so. >> Just so you know, my son played football, but when the season was over, he rejoined the man >> and played tuba. >> I love it. I love it.

120Perfect. Got to love the tubas. >> 427 is your score. Four minutes to go here in this game. Seeing several substitutions on both sides as this is out of reach for the Blue Hawks. Ryan Chef in at quarterback. Hands it off. Actually, that is not Ryan Chef at quarterback. That looks like it's >> that was Freddy Malar. >> Malar. >> Nice nice tackle from behind by Ethan Kramer. >> Tackle by Aaron Zogga. >> I'm seeing a 29 on the field. I don't have a 29 on my roster, so I'm not sure who is playing quarterback at this point in time. Tough one there. So, can't really call out his name. Alnar was on the on the carry. >> So, third and six for the Bulldog offense. Four receivers set. In motion right to left is

121Sad Bavar. Toss sweep to the left hand side. Carried out beyond that left end. Jackson Dile gets out close and beyond first down yardage. So the Bulldogs will move the sticks with 3 minutes to go in the game and a first down on their own 48 yd line. >> Tackled by TJ Kenny and that one good for a first down. >> First and 10 for the Bulldogs at their own 48. >> First and 10 for the Bulldogs. They mark it at the 48, but they move the sticks anyway. This clock continues to run. Four receiver set for the Bulldogs. >> Ocean man is Connor Sturgis right to left. We're going to have a flag >> penalty on the play. >> False start for the Bulldogs. That'll back him up 5 yds. >> Just so you

122know, undefeated Pinkerton is involved in a shootout 28-27. I believe they're playing conquer as I saw the score. >> Appreciate those score updates from around division one football in New Hampshire. Thank you very much to Andrew Fen back in the studio for providing that information. Bulldogs here up big. 42-7 is the score as the Bulldogs lead the Blue Hawks. Quot the injury bug here early season. keeper off the right hand side ahead for call it maybe one or two yards. >> Second and 13 on their own 45. >> And as this clock slowly ticks down, Bill, any thoughts from this game? What are your takeaways for the Blue Hawks as they faced a fierce Bulldogs offense and a steadfast defense? >> Well, they need to regroup. They have uh I believe the green wave do

123comes in to Blue Hawk to Bill Ball Stadium next week. And uh I know Coach Paul and he'll have him ready to play football. breaking one outside the left side of this line of scrimmage was Harshel Pavati number 16 getting a little little going. >> And you're absolutely right. We're not going to count out this extra Blue Hawk squad. They'll go back to the drawing board, figure out what's going to work for them for the rest of the season. >> And I'm sure they will be competitive the rest of the way out. We did get an update. Number 29 is Wyatt Carnival in at quarterback. the freshman getting some time here in the varsity squad game as we take down to 40 seconds to go in this game and the Bulldogs will kneel it down

124and run out this clock. So the final score will be 427. Bulldogs getting contributions from a few different people as usual. Brody Helton three touchdowns but Bennett Matthews with the touchdown. Bryson Derso with a spectacular catch on an 18 yd reception and then Landon Ellour finishing off the scoring on a 54 yd touchdown catch after a quick change. The Exor Hawks got a touchdown in the first half, excuse me, in the first quarter. 53 yd touchdown catch by Colton Ray, but couldn't muster much offense beyond that. >> Bill, any last thoughts before we wrap it up? Well, I Bedford was a very impressive football team to watch. I wish them not nothing but good luck for the rest of the season. Hopefully, they can avoid injury and uh they should have a real shot at

125the Division 1 title. We will see how that plays out. The Bulldogs advance to 5-0 on the season. The Blue Hawks will drop to 3 and two. Want to thank the BCTV crew, Bill Jennings on camera.
