Shamrocks Show Power Topping Tigers 28-7 North Liberty's Shamrocks came up with their best showing of the year Friday night as they put together a fine running attack behind a quick, hard-hitting line, to completely dominate the game with New Carlisle. After gaining a touchdown on the first time they handled the ball, they held the lead all the way. A couple of New Carlisle fumbles then set up the opportunities and the Shamrocks took advantage of them to pick up three last quarter scores and win going away. The final score was 28-7.

Bruce Summerfield was leading the team and he .started a ground game going that simply powered out the yardage in small chuncks, basically using Joe Fisher wide and Kevin Hostetler up the mi Idle. Five first downs and 16 plays later, Fisher buzzed into the end zone from eight yards out with 2:02 remaining in the quarter to put the Sh.onrock ahead. Ronnie Youn ’ kick d th extra point and it was 7-0. The game then turned into a defensive battle for a while as neither team could get a sustained drive going. The Shamrocks moved to the New Carlisle 20 early in the second periol, but missed a first down by two yards and play remained mostly in the middle of the field for the rest of the half. The second half looked a little different. The Shamrocks took the opening kick and di I move in 12 plays to the Tiger 36. but lost the ball on downs. However, this time the New Carlisle defense stiffened and stopped the penetration. After taking over, New Carlisle’s Scott Shuey fumbled and Gary Smith picked up the loose* ball and ran to the Tigers 22. but again they were unable to make yardage and a field goal try by Young was wile and short on fourth down. On the first play from scrimmage, the Tiger quarterback Wayne King had trouble handing off, and another fumble was recoverd by Chuck Houser on the Tiger 17. From here, the Shamrocks started moving again. Summerfield ran on first down on the 6. Fisher was nailed for a yard loss, but Hostetler picked up two.
