Over the past two weeks Gastonia has looked like one
of the top 3 teams in the league. They destroyed
Charlotte 31-3 and now this week shut out Greensboro.
There has always been a lot of talk around Gastonia
and Olav Flores (5 receptions for 53yds and a TD) and
Darrell Sparks (31 of 46 for 281yds 1TD), but what of
this defense that has held their opponents to 3 points
over the past two weeks. They are lead physically by
LB Ian Carter and DT Woody Brenner. Mentally they are
lead by DE Joel Candy and LB Chris Moxie. It's a good
mix of young and old that seems to be working well for
the Pirates. Sitting at 3-2 they go to Salisbury next
week where they hope to keep up their winning ways.
Greensboro's offense has looked hopeless in a few
games this season, this game being one of them.
Bradford Kokotan could only manage 8 receptions on 25
attempts for 77yds. Sheridan Clarke had 10yds rushing
on 7 carries and 1 fumble. It was a game in which
Greensboro was never a part. Linebacker play
continued to be solid for Greensboro with Frank Hall,
Phil Haynes, and Don Lee pitching in for 25 tackles
and 2 knockdowns. But with their offense unable to
move the ball at all the Patriots defenders were
completely worn down giving up 16 points in the last
24 minutes of play. Their schedule doesn't get any
easier next week as Greensboro has to go to Charlotte,
but they must turn things around on offense if they
expect to be going anywhere post season.
