CHaD teams put on a good show

GOFFSTOWN – Some of the best moves on the Saint Anselm College football field Friday night were turned in by West head coach Kip Jackson.

After the West beat the East 13-10 in the 11th Annual CHaD New Hampshire East-West All-Star Game, the West players chased down Jackson and showered him with Gatorade not once, but twice.

“It’s a little sticky,” Jackson said. “I wish we had that kind of leverage against Heenan (East quarterback Drew Heenan). I thought I could jump-cut out of it. My car is right there (next to the field). I should have kept going and they never would have got me.”

The West prevailed in the second overtime. Both teams had a possession from the 10-yard line in each OT.

After Bishop Brady’s Chris Messmore made a 22-yard field goal for the West, Exeter’s Ethan Moss missed a 32-yard field goal on the East’s second overtime possession.

The East was stopped short of the end zone on fourth down from inside the 1-yard in the first overtime. After that Messmore’s field goal attempt was blocked by Winnacunnet’s Jake Fredericks, which sent the game to a second overtime session.

“I just tried to move on (after the block),” Messmore said. “Second kick I came out with the same confidence, same routine. Don’t change anything. Do it a little faster, trust my guys and get it done.”

The victory gave the West an 8-3-0 edge in the series and extended the West’s winning streak to three games.

“Feel bad for our team because they left everything out there,” East coach Jimmy Lauzon said. “The competitor in me wishes we would have come out on top, but we couldn’t have given them (the fans) a better game.”

It was a 3-3 game at halftime. Moss made a 22-yard field goal on the first play of the second quarter, and Messmore made a 35-yard kick on the final play of the half.

The West took a 10-3 lead when Merrimack running back Reimello Hyde scored on a 2-yard run and Messmore added the PAT with 10:34 to play, but the East pulled even on a 20-yard pass from Heenan to Andrew Kullman, his Londonderry teammate, and Moss’ point-after kick with 3:44 left.

The East lined up to go for the two-point conversion following its touchdown, but sent the kicking team on the field after West called a timeout.

The East was 2 for 15 on third down, and fumbled the ball away after driving to the West 1-yard line on its opening possession.

West defensive lineman Toby Brown Jr. was named the Bo Dickson MVP for recording five tackles plus a sack. Three of the five tackles came behind the line of scrimmage.

“I told the kids before the game this was absolutely incredible for me just to be around them and see them give so much of themselves,” Jackson said. “We had a great coaching staff, too. For some of these guys it’s been seven months putting together the game plan and picking the roster. For me, this is one of my favorite experiences ever.”
