“I just love the game and love my team and want to do everything to the best of my ability to help them win,” said Hitchens, who rushed for 179 yards and two touchdowns.
– With Jalen Hitchens nursing a rib injury, Baldwin coach Robert Shields wanted to rest his quarterback for as long as possible.With the Indians offense out of sync, Hitchens entered the game with 3 seconds left in the first quarter and promptly drove Baldwin for a score. Hitchens’ dogged effort and a relentless pass rush from the Indians defense helped host Baldwin survive a fluke play and claim a 20-17 victory over District 5-2S foe Yulee in the News4JAX Game of the Week.
Baldwin played tough as well, surviving 16 drive-shortening penalties and some potential knockout blows from the Hornets. Yulee had a scoring drive to cut its deficit to 14-10 and then had a stroke of fourth-quarter luck. Jye Thompson was swarmed by Indians defenders after catching a short pass. He tried to break through but fumbled.
“We could have put our heads down,” Shields said. “But we wanted to bring it up the . Quarterback had bruised ribs. We went a lot of wildcat, double tight. Smashmouth. It was ugly, but I’ll take the ‘W’ any day.” But aside from that and Drawdy’s alert play on the fumble, yards were tough. Five possessions ended with punts and another three on downs, including a fourth-and-10 situation from the Indians 11 at the end of the third quarter when Barnes twice pressured Turner into incompletions, including one on fourth down.
