McDERMOTT - The South Point Pointers had a bad fishing trip Friday night.

With another win within their grasp, Tyler Mitchell ran 37 yards with 9:33 to play that lifted the Northwest Mohawks to a 35-32 win over the Pointers. "We let one get away," Pointers coach Dan McDavid said.

The loss snapped a two-game winning streak for the Pointers who were 3-1 coming into the game

"The offense put up enough for us to win tonight, we were undisciplined on defense and that is what beat us," McDavid said. "We need to come out next week and correct our mistakes and get after it again."

South Point opens Ohio Valley Conference play at Rock Hill next Friday.
Rocky Roe had a big game with 221 total yards offense for the Pointers. Roe ran eight times for 97 yards and caught three passes 124 yards and two touchdowns, one rushing and one receiving.

"Rocky Roe had a real breakout game," McDavid said.

Northwest (2-2) took a 7-0 lead on a 7-yard pass from Michael Hughes to Jacob Cooper. Cody Penn had an 18-yard scoring run and Hughes scored on a 1-yard run as Northwest built a 20-0 lead.

But quarterback Chris Smith hit Roe on a 57-yard pass play and then Smith ran for a touchdown with only 1:09 left in the half as the Pointers pulled within 20-13.

A 49-yard pass from Smith to Roe less than two minutes into the second half got the Pointers within 20-19.

John Crager had a 2-yard run to put the Pointers ahead 25-20 with 2:49 to play in the quarter.

Hughes had a 53-yard scamper and Penn added the conversion run as Northwest went up 28-25.

South Point then regained the lead on a 62-yard burst by Roe with 11:47 to play. Adam Stewart kick the point after and it was 32-28.

But two minutes later Mitchell made his play to rally Northwest to the win.

Smith completed 5 of 15 passes for 141 yards and two touchdowns. Crager added 58 yards rushing on 13 carries.

South Point at Rock Hill
A contrast in styles will collide as the South Point passing attack attempts to outscore the Rock Hill ground game.

The Pointers (3-2) are coming off a disappointing 35-32 loss to Northwest despite a big game by running back Rocky Roe who ran for 97 yards and caught three passes for 124 yards, two for touchdowns. He also had a 62-yard scoring run.

While quarterback Chris Smith (42 of 95 for 589 yards and 7 TDs) has a plethora of receivers, the Redmen (4-1) have a stable of running backs that include K.C. Christian, T.J. Blagg, Dustin Harper, Derek Robinson and Josh "Deuce" Moore.

Christian has rushed 85 times for 769 yards and 11 touchdowns. Blagg has 290 yards on 64 carries.

South Point at Chesapeake

Speaking of passing, both these OVC teams can and will take to the air if needed.
In the case of South Point, the need is on most downs. Quarterback Chris Smith is 54 of 122 for 635 yards. He has eight scoring tosses and seven interceptions.

But the Pointers (3-3, 0-1) will be without wide receiver Jerrell Dean who may be lost for the season with a shoulder injury.

Chesapeake (3-3, 1-0) uses a more balanced offense but quarterback Caleb McComas is at the focal point, whether running or passing.

McComas has rushed 40 times for 265 yards and is 30 of 75 passing for 393 yards. His main target is Jeffrey Thornburg with 12 catches for 199 yards and five TDs.

Panthers fullback Kersten Harris has 69 carries for 446 yards.

Chris talks about his early recruiting interests. He was at tOSU for the Illinois game this past weekend and raved about his experience. He is looking at tOSU real hard. He has offers from West Virginia and Ohio U. He is also hearing from Notre Dame, Wisconsin, NC State, Maryland, and most of the SEC teams.

if smith is a signing day offer for the '07 class, then osu is probably the odds on favorite. what could end up being troublesome and possible is if osu waits until camp to extend qb offers and some other teams press him hard. it does seem that smith has been a target for a while now versus belton, babb and some others.
