Just a few minutes away from punching their ticket to the next round of the 3A playoffs, Bears senior Bryce Rowley was anxiously lingering on the sidelines when one of his teammates asked how many quarterback sacks he had.
“Three,” he responded confidently. “But I’m going for one more.”
If it weren’t for the backfield ambushes by Rowley, perhaps the outcome of the Bears’ 28-20 win over The Academy on Saturday could’ve been different. The 140-pound outside linebacker equipped with a keen nose for the ball did in fact inflict three punishing sacks on junior Wildcats starting quarterback Isaiah Eliot.
