He went untouched for the 96-yard return for the game-opening touchdown.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese kids and these coaches work tirelessly year-round,\u201d said Hazelwood Central head coach Rich Nixon. That includes the addition of first-year special teams coach J.C. Kline, who also works with the defensive line. One of the special teams player, senior kicker Ryan Crandall booted a 32-yard field goal in the second quarter and was perfect on five extra points.<\/p>\n<p>Senior quarterback Kerry Gibson contributed to two Hawk touchdowns. Gibson ran for a first-quarter touchdown from six yards out with 3:26 left in the first quarter. Late in the second quarter he threw a nine-yard touchdown pass to senior Jawyne Thomas. After the game Gibson helped pick up the yard markers from the visiting side of the field and Nixon mentioned his post-game effort to reporters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKerry Gibson goes out and competes,\u201d Nixon said. Gibson competed eight out of 14 passes for 157 yards while carrying the ball nine times for 63 yards.<\/p>\n<p>In the third quarter Gibson misplayed a bad snap that put the Hawks back to near the goal line and with 8:10 left Oakville got a tackle in the end zone for a safety. As Oakville tried to cut into a 24-2 deficit on their next possession junior Alonzo Chapelle stripped the ball from a Tiger carrier and recovered the fumble. \u201cChapelle is a special young man,\u201d Nixon said, Chapelle is vocal and \u201che is earned the right to be a leader,\u201d especially on defense.<\/p>\n<p>Central made sure the game was out of reach for Oakville in the fourth quarter. Junior Tra Brown scored six seconds into the fourth quarter while junior Rodney Smith, who carried the ball 13 times for 101 yards, scored from a yard out with 9:27 left. That second touchdown in the fourth quarter gave the Hawks a 38-2 lead and a non-stop clock, for games in the second half that have at least a 35-point margin, went into effect until Oakville scored with 26 seconds left, a five-yard Joe Plassmeyer to Mike Cyliax touchdown pass.<\/p>\n<p>The semifinal win for the 12-1 Hawks was the 14th out of 14 semifinal games, including 1972 as Hazelwood High. It was the first semifinal game for Oakville, who finished with a 9-4 record.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HAWK DEFENSE ON ATTACK&#8211;Hazelwood Central defenders (dark jerseys) go on the attack in last Saturday\u2019s 38-8 state semifinal win over visiting Oakville Story &amp; photo by Jim Wieners It took only 13 seconds for Hazelwood Central to get on the scoreboard last Friday in the Class Six Football semifinals and the Hawks never looked back [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"ocean_post_layout":"","ocean_both_sidebars_style":"","ocean_both_sidebars_content_width":0,"ocean_both_sidebars_sidebars_width":0,"ocean_sidebar":"","ocean_second_sidebar":"","ocean_disable_margins":"enable","ocean_add_body_class":"","ocean_shortcode_before_top_bar":"","ocean_shortcode_after_top_bar":"","ocean_shortcode_before_header":"","ocean_shortcode_after_header":"","ocean_has_shortcode":"","ocean_shortcode_after_title":"","ocean_shortcode_before_footer_widgets":"","ocean_shortcode_after_footer_widgets":"","ocean_shortcode_before_footer_bottom":"","ocean_shortcode_after_footer_bottom":"","ocean_display_top_bar":"default","ocean_display_header":"default","ocean_header_style":"","ocean_center_header_left_menu":"","ocean_custom_header_template":"","ocean_custom_logo":0,"ocean_custom_retina_logo":0,"ocean_custom_logo_max_width":0,"ocean_custom_logo_tablet_max_width":0,"ocean_custom_logo_mobile_max_width":0,"ocean_custom_logo_max_height":0,"ocean_custom_logo_tablet_max_height":0,"ocean_custom_logo_mobile_max_height":0,"ocean_header_custom_menu":"","ocean_menu_typo_font_family":"","ocean_menu_typo_font_subset":"","ocean_menu_typo_font_size":0,"ocean_menu_typo_font_size_tablet":0,"ocean_menu_typo_font_size_mobile":0,"ocean_menu_typo_font_size_unit":"px","ocean_menu_typo_font_weight":"","ocean_menu_typo_font_weight_tablet":"","ocean_menu_typo_font_weight_mobile":"","ocean_menu_typo_transform":"","ocean_menu_typo_transform_tablet":"","ocean_menu_typo_transform_mobile":"","ocean_menu_typo_line_height":0,"ocean_menu_typo_line_height_tablet":0,"ocean_menu_typo_line_height_mobile":0,"ocean_menu_typo_line_height_unit":"","ocean_menu_typo_spacing":0,"ocean_menu_typo_spacing_tablet":0,"ocean_menu_typo_spacing_mobile":0,"ocean_menu_typo_spacing_unit":"","ocean_menu_link_color":"","ocean_menu_link_color_hover":"","ocean_menu_link_color_active":"","ocean_menu_link_background":"","ocean_menu_link_hover_background":"","ocean_menu_link_active_background":"","ocean_menu_social_links_bg":"","ocean_menu_social_hover_links_bg":"","ocean_menu_social_links_color":"","ocean_menu_social_hover_links_color":"","ocean_disable_title":"default","ocean_disable_heading":"default","ocean_post_title":"","ocean_post_subheading":"","ocean_post_title_style":"","ocean_post_title_background_color":"","ocean_post_title_background":0,"ocean_post_title_bg_image_position":"","ocean_post_title_bg_image_attachment":"","ocean_post_title_bg_image_repeat":"","ocean_post_title_bg_image_size":"","ocean_post_title_height":0,"ocean_post_title_bg_overlay":0.5,"ocean_post_title_bg_overlay_color":"","ocean_disable_breadcrumbs":"default","ocean_breadcrumbs_color":"","ocean_breadcrumbs_separator_color":"","ocean_breadcrumbs_links_color":"","ocean_breadcrumbs_links_hover_color":"","ocean_display_footer_widgets":"default","ocean_display_footer_bottom":"default","ocean_custom_footer_template":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"ocean_post_oembed":"","ocean_post_self_hosted_media":"","ocean_post_video_embed":"","ocean_link_format":"","ocean_link_format_target":"self","ocean_quote_format":"","ocean_quote_format_link":"post","ocean_gallery_link_images":"on","ocean_gallery_id":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2749","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-flovalley-sports","entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
