Mead vs G-Prep October 12, 2007 Mead Takes A Bite Out Of Prep's Playoff Hopes Game Photo Slideshow Game Video Highlights
Prep started the game by scoring on their first set of plays. It was Prep’s first game of the year where they actually scored first. G-Prep used a 12-play, 73-yard drive that ended with Jeremy Condon scoring from 9-yards out. Prep quickly got on the score board again after Pat Enders blocked a Mead punt and Travis Long landed on it in the end zone for a touchdown.
In the second half Matt Barker connected on two long field goals and Aaron Page intercepted a pass that put Prep into position to setup another rushing touchdown for Condon. Matt Barker’s 36 yard field goal with less than 5
minutes advanced Prep’s lead to 27-14 and the victory for the Pups was insight. Mead
stormed back One of the strangest plays of the game was when Mead was trailing by 6 points late in the game on their own 30 yard line. The Panthers tried a catch and pitch play that appeared to be fumbled and recovered by the Pups, but the official ruling was called a redo and the Panthers were able to keep the ball.
Leading the Gonzaga rushing attack was Jeremy Condon with 19 carries for 87 yards and Bryan Karwacki 84 yards on 18 rushes. Defensively, Aaron Page had another big game for Gonzaga and the offensive interior line did an outstanding job blocking up front to create some holes for Condon & Karwacki to run through.

a masterful performance by Prep for three quarters of play and with a 10 point
lead the Mead Panthers were able to come back and score 21 points in the 4th
quarter to seal the victory. The stunned Gonzaga players, coaches and fans must
be wondering if Prep just watched this year’s playoff hopes vanished.

ball back around mid-field after forcing the Bullpups to punt. Again, Reser used
the aerial game to move the ball down field to setup the winning touchdown pass.
