Fortunately, they were able to get the game in just fine even though the rain was very heavy at times.
In the first quarter, Jermaine Pitts will drop back and fire a beautiful strike to tight end Chris Silk on the post pattern. He hauls it in and sets up the first score of the day moving the ball inside the 10.
Ferrum's defense then set the stage for the next score of the day.
Paul Inoa (UH-NO-UH) will step in front of the pass right in front of the Panthers' sideline. He will pick up a couple of nice blocks and return the ball to the Chowan 7. He had three interceptions today.
A couple of plays later, Pitts and Silk will get together again. This time the tight end makes the catch in the back of the end zone.
Ferrum takes a 14-to-nothing lead with 3:45 left in the first quarter.
Then just a couple of minutes into the second quarter - Pitts will call his own number and bootleg in off the left side of the line from
