Kimlinger (center): For the kids!
...should have been covered by ESPN! Yes, the Sted's inter-hall football game against Zahm Hall this Sunday should have been on T.V. The Steds squad demolished Zahm, as predicted by Dick Vitale, and buoyed the spirits of many a Stedsman after Saturday's disappointment in Clemson. The Steds squad showed no fear nor mercy as they brought the "next door neighbor" down with a final score of 17-0. It was a memorable day indeed, and the game will be remembered for its true teamwork, a 30 yard plus field goal, and the appearance of a raising star, Steds freshman, Joe Kimlinger. Under the tutelage of Coach and Captain Phineas Andrews, Kimlinger filled in for quarterback Brian Ball and lead the squad to its victory. On the game, Kimlinger said,
"Sunday's win was classic, hard-nosed football. The defense was excellent once again. It's very difficult to lose when the other team has 0 points. On offense, we went back to the days before the invention of the forward pass, pounding Zahm relentlessly with Jahmel Jordon. They had no choice but to dedicate more guys to stopping the run. This, combined with the wear and tear of getting hit by Mel every play, tired them out, creating opportunities for big play potential which we took advantage of. Overall, I think our constant pounding from the run game and the frustration of playing against the Steds defense just tired Zahm out. And, of course, we can't forget about another three points from our leading scorer Brandon Ryan. It was a good team win and we did it for the kids!"
Indeed, it was Joe... it was a win for the kids!
