Though the second half was a much more good-spirited one, Stockton’s competitive level didn’t suppress as they opened the third quarter with a five-minute drive that ended in a touchdown to make the score 13-29.
“We were really well matched with Stockton, but we just didn’t take advantage of the opportunities before us,” Barons head coach Anthony Bartley said.
Barons offense tried to persevere as they made it down to the Stockton goal line but failed to capitalize. Barons were on the inch line about to score, and it appeared they did. Wide receiver Scott Witter caught a pass in the endzone, but the ball was knocked out of his arms and into the hands of an awaiting Stockton player who grabbed an interception. The interception was Peregrin’s only pick thrown in the game.
“That pick wasn’t his fault, you know, the ball was in the receivers hands and he just couldn’t hang on,” head coach Anthony Bartley said. ”Despite the fumble Peregrin played better than he did last game, and I think i’ll probably keep him as my starter.”
The fumble Bartley referred to was later in the game and resulted in a Stockton scoop and touchdown.
Bartley went with Peregrin as the starting quarterback instead of Dejoeve Platt, the starter last game, because after watching the game film he felt Peregrin’s “mechanics” were better.
The goal-line stand was the second in the game for Stockton, as they also held the Barons from scoring on the five yard line when time ran out in the second half.The stops were key in Stockton’s victory as both would have put the Barons within one possession of the lead.
“Our defensive line stepped up and did their job even though we were missing our best defensive end,” Stockton head coach Cliff Ord said.
The barons were successful with the long passes in the first half, but Stockton switched up their defense and held the Barons to only one touchdown in the second half.
“Our defense really tightened up from the second quarter on and we switched from a man to zone coverage in the second half,” Ord said. “I think that really helped us out.”
Stockton couldn’t be stopped in the second half, as they racked up an uno (a one-point, punt-style field goal) and
four touchdowns in the second half including a rub-it-in-your-face touchdown as time ran out.
“We’re going to get better you can trust me on that,” Barons general manager Tim Pierce said in games like this “You have to have a short memory.”
