The Mountain View Cougars ended last season ranked # 1 in the OSAA, and went undefeated in the IMC. However they lost in the first round of the play-offs 42-28 verse the Corvallis Spartans, and have not won a game since.
This Friday, they host the Summit Storm. The game will be carried live on PlayActionSportsMedia.com
The #5 rated Storm open IMC play sporting a 3-1 record with wins at Pendleton, 62-13, at home against Franklin, 65-7, and last week versus Marist, 14-13 (click here to watch PlayActionSportsMedia.com’s archived copy of the game). The only loss came Sept 18th at Ashland where they lost a 15-14 squeaker.
The #20 Cougars have lost to Wilsonville, 54-21, Central 42-21, Crater, 41-37 and last week they lost at home versus Springfield 35-18.
The Storm enter the game without one of last year’s stars, future Duck TE/LB Cameron McComick, however last week his replacement Grant Tobias stepped up with a long touchdown reception, and some solid blocking all game long.
Summit will look to the arm of Jr QB John Bledsoe and his corps of receivers: Troy Viola, Sean Kent, Brayden Dufree, Nick Mason and Nick Rassmussen.
RB Jacob Thompson is a bruiser who has break away speed, and we might see the return of RB Jason Garcia who has had injury issues last year and to begin this year.
Mt View hopes are riding on the arm of QB Mike Irwin. Irwin is a physical quarterback who has no problem tucking the ball and running it, but is still looking to make a real connection with an almost completely new receiving corps.
Coach Brian Crum knew this would be a rebuilding year after losing so many starters from last year, but hopes to turn things around on Friday.
