Tide dominates Pequea Valley
With nine different players touching the football, the Tide destroyed Pequea Valley, 48-13.
Heading into this week regular season finale at Donegal, the Tide is 3-6 overall and 2-3 in Section 3 of the Lancaster-Lebanon League. .
Friday night was the final home game for 13 seniors – David Wells, Jeremy Daise, Ronald Gilbert, Johnny Vasquez, Felix Mendez, Dom Trout, Jamal Porras, Byron Germer, Marcus Fischer, Cain Warfel, Roger Walton, Casey Rapp and John Markley.
On offensive shoot out was expected Friday night. The Tide and Braves entered the game scoring a combined 402 points, while giving up a combined 422. The offensive explosion only materialized on one side of the scoreboard – Columbia.
Ironically, the offensive fireworks didn’t start untl midway trough the first quarter. After the two teams exchanged punts, Columbia got on the scoreboard first. Keenan Edmond (3 scores, 116 yards) sprinted in from the 33 to give the Tide a 6-0 lead with 6:48 left in the first quarter. The Braves, who were severely undermanned in the game, came right back. Robert Schmidt capped a 10-play, 67-yard drive with a 2-yard run. Columbia blocked the PAT and the game remain tied at 6-6.
No problem. Behind Edmond’s running and a Tyler Harrison to Michael Burke pass reception, the Tide score with 61 seconds left in the first quarter on a 1-yard run by Edmond. Harrison’s two-point PAT gave the Tide a 14-6 lead and the fun just started for the Tide.
After forcing a PV punt, the Tide got a couple of pass receptions to Burke and Seth Lefever and unleashed a running attack of Edmond, Wells and Vazquez, driving 53 yards in 12 plays, scoring on a 2-yard run by Wells with six minutes left in the first half. At that points, the Tide led 21-6.
PV fumbled on their next possession, which Columbia took advantage of. Edmond hauled in a short pass from Harrison and went the distance, 45 yards and the Tide led 28-6 and with 4:30 left in the half, the Tide had a 28-6 lead.
They weren’t done.
PV fumbled again but the Tide didn’t take advantage, until PV got the ball back again. Burke stepped in front of a Ben Myers pass and returned it 45 yards for a score with 1:29 left in the first half, Columbia led 34-6.
The Tide, who has been the victim of a number of mercy rules games over the last three years, finally kicked the mercy rule in their favor on their first possession of the second half. Burke and Harrison teamed for a 26-yard score and when Lefever’s PAT went squarely through the upright, Columbia led 41-6 with 7:08 left in the third quarter.
The Tide put some icing on the cake in the fourth quarter when Shakim McIllwain sprinted 62 yards for a score.

Crimson Tide notebook, week 5
Referee Dennis Bachman was knocked out the game with about two minutes left. He was knocked to the ground after being hit by Tide linebacker Bryan Flory. Bachman, an official for 36 years, of Columbia, suffered a broken rib and a bruised kidney and lung.
Big game for 4
A number of players played well for the Tide. The standout was Michael Burke, who caught five passes for 88 yards, rushed for 28 yards and scored twice on offense. Defensively, he had two sacks and a pick.
100 yard effort
Junior Keenan Edmond became the second CHS running back to rush for more than 100 yards this season, joining Brock Taylor in the century club. Edmond, playing his first game of the season due to disciplinary reasons, finished the game with 114 yards and two scores.
Streak ends
The win over Elco was the Tide's first over the Raiders since 2007.
