Barnhardt Field Goal lifts Spiders past Bulldogs

Written by

Both Concord and J.M. Robinson entered Friday night's contest looking for their first win of the season. The Bulldogs were not the only visitors at Robert C. Bailey Stadium Friday night. The remnants of tropical storm Hannah brushed the area providing some heavy rain showers in the first half.

In the 1st quarter the teams exchanged several punts until Robinson tailback Jason Hampton broke free for a 37 yard touchdown run to put the Bulldogs up 7-0.  The defenses ruled the rest of the quarter.  Concord's Darin Posey and Wesley Scott sacked Bulldog quarterback Robert Cloninger to end the 1st quarter. The defensive struggle continued in the 2nd quarter with both offenses stalling. Later Concord would put together a sustained drive capped by Roger Smith's 27 yard touchdown reception from Sean Willix. Brandon Barnhardt would add the extra point to tie the game at 7-7.  Concord's Wesley Scott recovered a Robinson fumble on the next series and the half ended in a 7-7 tie.

The defenses would control the 2nd half as well. After a Concord punt Jason Hampton would strike again for the Bulldogs, this time covering 71 yards to put Robinson up 14-7. Concord answered with a drive of their own capped by Evan Carpenter's 45 yard TD catch. Barnhardt's extra point was wide right. Concord's defense started the 4th quarter with a big stop as Robinson went for a 4th and short conversion. The duo of Wesley Scott and Jalen Brown teamed up to stop the Robinson runner short of the first down.  Down by one Concord methodically drove down the field. But a tipped pass was intercepted by Bulldog cornerback Zach Fandl.

With less than two minutes left and Robinson holding the ball all appeared lost but Concord's defense would come through again. On the first play after the turnover the Spiders forced a fumble recovered by Concord linebacker Bradley Phillips. Concord would run a few plays before a field goal attempt. The Bulldogs used their remaining timeouts to ice kicker Brandon Barnhardt but to no avail. Barnhardt's 22 yard field goal split the uprights to give Concord the lead with 2 seconds remaining. The kickoff return was stopped after a short gain.

Darin Posey led the Concord defense with 12 tackles, 2 sacks and an interception.  Sean Willix finished 12-27 for 165 yards with 2 touchdowns and one interception. Roger Smith added 58 yards rushing and a touchdown reception. 

Next week the Spiders open SPC play with a trip to Piedmont.

Big plays propel Spiders past Trojans

Written by

Concord defeated Northwest Cabarrus 35-7 Friday night at Trojan Stadium.

The only thing standing between Concord and a shot at a fourth straight SPC title was Northwest. However the host Trojans were not quick to concede to the favored Spiders.

Northwest controlled much of the first quarter with a punishing ground game led by tailback George Miller-Duncan.

Bulldogs blank Spiders in Opener

Written by

Robinson beat Concord 20-0 in the season opener for both teams. 

Daevin Hobbs was a jack-of-all trades for the Bulldogs, scoring on offense, defense, and handling the punting duties for the Bulldogs. The Spiders moved into the red zone numerous times but could not break through for a touchdown.

Robinson scored the lone points of the half when Blue Monroe found Hobbs behind the Spider defense for a quick 33 yard touchdown. Monroe’s 2 point conversion pass failed. 

Kadin Presutti nearly took the second half kickoff to the house. He was tripped up at the Bulldog 19 yard line. However the Bulldogs were able to clamp down on the Spider offense. 

Early in the fourth Zach Jenkins was stripped on a rushing attempt and Hobbs scooped the ball and scampered 55 yards for a score. It appeared Jenkins forward progress was stopped, but after a lengthy discussion between the officials the play stood.

The Spider offense had a couple more chances but were unable to score. The Bulldogs added a late score for the final 20 point margin. 

Despite the final margin there were bright spots for the Spiders. The Spider defense held the Bulldogs to 2/8 third down conversions and 0/3 on fourth downs. Tristan Pittman picked off a pass to end a Bulldog drive. The Spider offense was able to move the ball but will have to capitalize on opportunities in the red zone.

Concord leads the series with the Bulldogs 11-8. 

Photos will be updated soon!

Bulldogs nip Spiders

Written by

Robinson survived a wild finish to beat the Spiders 13-12 for their first ever victory over Concord.

Bulldog freshman QB Bradley Clay opened the scoring in the first quarter with a 3 yard pass after two consecutive pass interference calls moved the ball to the 3 yard line. The extra point was missed. Concord answered in the second quarter with a Jimmy Drye 8 yard TD run. Chad Myers extra point was blocked, the first of two the Bulldogs would block.

Robinson jumped out to a 13-6 lead on the arm of Clay who completed a 65 yard TD pass halfway through the third quarter. Concord again answered when Jimmy Drye hit Lance Lewis with a short pass and then scrambled for a 41 yard touchdown. Myers extra point was blocked again.

Concord had one final chance starting at the Bulldogs 33 yard line with two minutes to play. The Bulldogs sacked Drye on second down, then Drye completed a pass to TE Matt Beecher who ran to the Robinson 15. On fourth down the Spiders lined up for a Chad Myers field goal but ran a fake instead. Holder Dustin Burris was stopped short of the first down and Robinson held on for the win.

Concord's defense dominated again holding the Bulldogs to negative rushing for the game and only yielding 140 yards passing.

Pictures coming soon.
