The Ichabods knocked off the No.4 ranked Pittsburg state Saturday night which improves their record to 2-1 on the season and will host Missouri Southern on Saturday at 1.pm at Yager Stadium as a part of Washburn’s family day.

 

With the Icabods being the underdogs in this match up they were well prepared to quiet the storm in the red sea, the Ichabods put up 14 points in the first half leading the Gorillas 14-7 at half time. The Gorillas would be the first team on the board scoring on 5 plays, 68 yards ending the drive with a four-yard rushing touchdown by running back Jeff Seybold.

 

On Washburn’s second drive they would tie the score with a one-yard rushing touchdown by Brandon Bourbon, with Washburn’s tenacious defense going to work they would go up 14-7 with four seconds on the clock before half. With Washburn forcing the Gorillas to punt early in third quarter they would apply more pressure by scoring on a seven play, 75 yard drive with Derek McInnis hooking up with Bryce Chavis for 21 yard touchdown reception going up 21-7.

 

With the Ichabods defense showing no remorse they would hold the Gorillas to a 28-yard field goal completed by Chad Levin. After the field goal completion,  the Ichabods would respond with a 20 yard touchdown connection from Derek McGinnis to Conner Crimmins making the game 28-10 in 10 plays, 82 yards with 3:49 remaining in the third quarter.

The Ichabods would not score in the fourth quarter. Playing outstanding defense, the Gorillas would seem to have life on a fourth and 22 yard completion from John Roderique to Marquise Cushon. With 34 seconds left to play, the Ichabods defense would stop a fourth and six passing play attended to Levi Copelin giving the Ichabods the ball, kneeling to victory.
