ORD- The 8-0 Ord Chanticleer football team was at home for the first round of the 2020 Class C2 playoffs. The Chanticleers took the opening kickoff and marched down the field converting a key 4th down pass from Zach Smith to Quinton Ries for a 33 yard touchdown. Bishop Neumann answered back on the next drive driving the ball 80 yards for a touchdown. The Chanticleers responded on the next drive when Tommy Stevens scored on a 3 yard run. After making a couple of adjustments, the Chant defense forced a punt on the ensuing drive. After the end of the first quarter it was 14-7 Chanticleers. Just minutes into the 2nd quarter the chants scored again on an 8 yard touchdown run from Zach Smith. The Chanticleer defense forced turnover on the next possession when Zach Smith intercepted the Cavaliers. The Chanticleers ended the quarter by throwing a touchdown from Zach Smith to Kelen Meyer for 8 yards. The Chanticleers went into the half with a 28-7 lead. The second half was dominated again by the Chanticleers by making a 37 yard field goal by Kelen Meyer and an 18 yard touchdown run from Tommy Stevens. Once again, the Chanticleers dominated in all phases of the game. The offense was very efficient, not having to punt in the game. After giving up 80 yards on the Cavaliers first drive the Chant defense held them to 70 yards the rest of the game until the last drive. Coach Wells added, “It was great to be at home for the first round. We played well but failed to score a couple of touchdowns in the red zone. I saw a lot of great things tonight but we can still get better.” The Chanticleers will head to Aquinas Catholic on Friday to take on the tradition-rich Monarchs. The game will be at 7:00.
