Black Saturday

A pic of us and the beautiful mountain sky.....both taken by our boy!

Today was the annual Black Saturday and ASU defeated Furman 37-26 in a hard fought battle. Here are some interesting notes about the game.....

DeAndre Presley threw his first interception of the season

Tavaris Cadet had a career high---3 touchdowns!

Jabari Fletcher scooped up a blotched handoff in the Furman backfield and ran it 40 yards for his FIRST career TD!! Here's a pic of Fletcher coming off the field!

Needing the extra point to draw within one score in the fourth quarter...Furman’s PAT was blocked by Mountaineer cornerback Troy "Trigger" Sanders, who scooped up the loose ball and took it all the way back for a defensive two-point conversion that gave Appalachian a 37-26 lead and effectively ended any hopes of a Paladin comeback. Here is a celebration pic right after that play.

And of course....Hershey's favorite offensive player, Brian Quick, caught a career high four passes for a total of 46 yards, including a 19-yard reception in the third quarter that made him only the fourth Mountaineer to ever reach the 2,000-yard plateau for career receiving yards.

It was an AWESOME game!!!
