Hawks look to bounce back after losing opener
BY CARL KOTALA
How will the Viera High football team react to adversity under new coach Paul Frazier? Tune into this week’s home game against Cocoa Beach to find out.Viera’s season opener against Eau Gallie Friday night didn’t exactly go as planned. The Hawks fell behind by two touchdowns within the first five minutes and eventually lost 20-6 to the host Commodores. How they respond next … well, that’s the big test to show that things really will be different for the Hawks in 2010.
“We expect to wear that ‘Hawks’ across our chest with pride,” Frazier said. “We expect them to respond the way we know they’re going to respond. They’re going to come out and play like champions. We’re going to work hard, and we’re going to come out and play hard.”
The Hawks, coming off a 2-8 season, will certainly need to start better against Cocoa Beach than they did against the Commodores. On Eau Gallie’s first play, running back Irvin Rutledge kept his legs churning and broke away from would-be tacklers, turning what would have been a modest gain into a 72-yard touchdown.
To the Hawks’ credit, they didn’t fold. But while they continued to play hard, they just couldn’t seem to get themselves untracked against Eau Gallie’s defense. Viera struggled to run the ball consistently and the Hawks passing game didn’t get rolling until the second half.
Viera quarterback Tyler Corns was just 1 for 9 for 20 yards in the first half, but finished the game 9 for 26 for 135 yards and an interception. Kyle Smith had six of those receptions for 95 yards. Jacques Williams scored Viera’s only touchdown on a 3-yard run in the fourth quarter. And defensively, Ryan Colby and Jeff Walker were among the standouts.
