East-West Shrine

EAST: 25
WEST: 8

East
OG David Arkin Missouri State
WR Perry Baker Fairmont State
QB Patrick Devlin Delaware
DT Martin Parker Richmond (2 sacks, FF)
OT William Rackley Lehigh
CB Justin Rogers Richmond
WR Cecil Shorts Mount Union

West
CB Cortez Allen Citadel
CB Korey Lindsey Southern Illinois
WR OJ Murdock Fort Hays
OT Matthew O’Donnell Queens (CA)
WR Anthony Parker Calgary (CA)
TE Julius Thomas Portland State (TD, 2-PT Conv)

Offensive MVP: RB Delone Carter Syracuse
Defensive MVP: DT Martin Parker Richmond
Marty and Matt’s Small School Offensive MVP: TE Julius Thomas Portland State
Marty and Matt’s Small School Defensive MVP: DT Martin Parker Richmond

Martin Parker was the real standout in this year’s East-West Shrine game. He made two big sacks and a forced fumble. He should be a solid draft pick. Also, Julius Thomas (TE, Portland State) opened some eyes by scoring the West’s only TD and then coming right back to catch the 2-pt conversion. WR Perry Baker and CB Justin Rogers both looked very respectable out there.

Defensive MVP:  CB Loyce Means (Houston)
Marty and Matt’s Small School Offensive MVP: WR  Raymond Webber Ark PB 6-2 215
Marty and Matt’s Small School Defensive MVP: DT TJ Langley Ark Tech 6-5 315

First off all Brandon Smith and Loyce Means where flat out nasty in this game. Means had 3TDs from his CB position (Blocked Punt return, Fumble Recovery and INT). Smith made big catch after big catch including a great grab deep down the field. That being said, the smaller school guys didn’t fair too well. I was almost tempted to give an OMVP nod to an OL. But, WR Raymond Webber performed serviceable enough and DT TJ Langley showed some good power out there.

A fantastic defensive showing from the small school ranks. Roberto Davis was the real standout defensively; he had three tackles and two big sacks including one that forced a fumble. LB Tressor Baptise had seven tackles to go with Josh Gatline’s three stops and a pick. The big bodied Kenrick Ellis stood out for the Nation side with 4 tackles and a sack. On the offensive side there had some big plays made by receivers Joe Morgan, Stephen Burton and Ricardo Lockett.

Despite a low scoring game there were still many solid performances. For the North team Schmidlein, Mike  LB Lafayette led all players with an impressive 11 tackles (FF). Darrius Gates looked very quick out there both running with the ball and catching passes.  Also, PK Joe Izzo booted four field goals. QB Zach McDowell really showed some skills out there, he scored with his arm and his legs for the South team.  Gerald Stevenson was the big play receiver off the game, making six grabs for sixty-two yards and a TD. But, the best play of the game may have been the nifty KR for a TD by Sean Jeffcoat. Defensively Jason Gaines of Samford, Dom Davenport and Sean Lewis all looked very sharp out there.
