Seminole Ridge 23, Atlantic 20: Maxx Nielsen's FG sends Hawks to 6A regional final
Friday, November 26, 2010
by
Matt Porter
The game could have turned on any one of several plays. Seminole Ridge is thankful Maxx Nielsen recovered to make the decisive one.
After missing an extra point in the second quarter, the senior kicker's 21-yard field goal with 3.5 seconds remaining gave the Hawks a 23-20 win over Atlantic on Friday night in the Class 6A regional semifinals.
Seminole Ridge travels to Orlando on Friday to play Dr. Phillips, a 45-0 winner over Orlando-Oak Ridge.
The snap wasn't perfect, but holder Ryan Bialczak pulled it together just in time.
"It feels amazing. I never thought I'd have to do that," Nielsen said. "It's one of the biggest rushes."
In a wild final two minutes, Hawks quarterback Trevor Vanscoy set up the winning kick with a 59-yard keeper with less than a minute remaining.
A personal foul call earlier on Seminole Ridge gave Atlantic the ball at the 25, and on the first play, senior quarterback Rudy Conde found senior Tavares Malcolm for a 25-yard touchdown. Nick Privitera's kick bounced off the left upright and in, tying the game at 20 with 4:34 left.
Seminole Ridge senior fullback Tyler Butler gained a crucial first down on fourth-and-2 with 2:49 left. But he almost became the goat, fumbling for the first time all season with 1:18 left. Atlantic took over at its own 28, and went long on three pass attempts. With 50.1 seconds left, Vanscoy charged up the middle of the field and left the defense in the dust.
"It's about big plays in the postseason. They had theirs, and we had ours," Seminole Ridge coach Matt Dickmann said. "Luckily ours came at the end of the game."
Nielsen's kick ended Atlantic's season, but the Eagles almost emerged a winner. It was fitting that a somber postgame huddle ended with a chorus of 'defense,' as the Hawks gained just just 49 yards (33 rushing, 16 passing) in the first half.
"I was pleased with the effort. I really was," Atlantic coach Chris Bean said. "We played hard."
Atlantic's Tevin Spells couldn't be stopped early on. The 5-foot-10, 190-pound sophomore gained 121 yards on 10 carries in the first half. He set up both of Atlantic's touchdowns with several gains up the middle, setting up Abdud Narcisse and Marcus Gaskins for short touchdown runs.
Spells gained 37 yards on four carries in the second half.
Seminole Ridge's defense threw the first punch, as cornerback Omar Pierre-Louis snatched a tipped Conde pass and took it 22 yards for a touchdown. Atlantic sophomore Brisly Estime took the ensuing kickoff 90 yards before Hawks senior Thomas Fragale caught him at the 6, but the Hawks shut down the Eagles' passing game. Conde was 6-fot-14 with 79 yards and two interceptions.
Seminole Ridge's special teams saved the half, as senior Alex Malsbury charged and blocked a punt at the 28. The Hawks downed it at the 6, and three plays later, Butler tied the game at 13. Neilsen's extra point missed wide, but when it counted most, his aim was true.
"My team got me back up," Nielsen said. "They said 'You've got this, move on to the next one, we might need to you at the end of the game."

DRP is going to be really tough. They are loaded with d1 talent and have been killing teams all year, it was a nice run for SR but I just don't think they will have enough answers to beat DRP......unless the FHSAA rules on the Gallon kid, keep your eyes open on this one, basically he doesn't live in Orange County and shouldn't be playing for DRP -

I thought dr phillips was in trouble for a hazing they did to a freshmen. What happened to that. Is the fhsaa only concerned about a dwyer kid flipping a "much deserved" bird at glenville but a beatdown of a student gets no suspention? lol hawks.

Like we b sayin ATL. got dem kids. This was a case of coaching. SR. has a great program. Great season. Wear some long sleeve dri fit stuff, have a spare pair for half time, and 2 pair of socks. It might be wet. There is nothing like dry clothes at half time. Knit hats on the sidelines. You are north bound, and a few degrees makes a difference.
Jes D. Shifter commented on November 27, 2010 at 10:16 a.m.: report abuse
@Hawk watch, the FHSAA is a toothless gutless organization. Do you think they want to be involved in litigation. This makes our state backwards in comparison to states like Texas. We also have crooked refs. This is true, Just prepare, and forget the side bar. The FHSAA IS A MONEY MAKING ORG. Fines, and a cut of the profits perpetuate this bunch. Look at the second rate weight lifting championships.
This is sad, as we should either be power lifting (like the rest of the USA), or Olympic lifting. This is also run by the SPRUCE CREEK MAFIA. I am rooting for the Hawks (although the fix is in) the FHSAA will not make a ruling until the playoffs are over. This guarantees them revenue.

Seminole Ridge wasnt lucky they are better coached (offensively).... ATL has the best defensive coaches around but they cant last ALL game, the offenseive coaches have to be idiots for throwing the ball all 4 downs at the goalline. Eventhough Tevin Spells was having his best game of his career. C'MON MAN!!!! jus give him the ball

Bad Calls commented on November 28, 2010 at 11:36 a.m.: report abuse
SR don't gloat too much, you guys had the refs in your pocket all night. The right side of your line would move a half step before the snap. ATL got called for at least 2 bogus penalties for offsides when it should have been a false start penalty on a critical scoring drive by SR. The FHSAA needs to look at the tape and never let the refs work another game.
The only example of good coaching that I saw out there was that QB draw play. Other than that the SR coach didn't adjust to the fact that ATL figured out their blocking schemes and shut the SR running game down.
Now quit whining about how Dr. Phillips should be disqualified and go up to Orlando and get your butts handed to you.

Wow, a losing fan saying that the refs should never work a game again- never gets old, does it?
What commented on November 28, 2010 at 3:55 p.m.: report abuse
"Bad Calls" I'll show you the tape and prove that your guys moved 1st. Don't ever blame the refs, that's so pathetic. You're right your defense made a great adjustment from the first game and had the DT's just fall down so we coudn't move them out of the hole. The DE's were slanting outside to take away the sweep. We however found a way to WIN!!!! We stayed patient with the run and figured it out. Only 50yds at half, over 200 yds in the 2nd half. So I would say our coaches made some adjustments. Your players gave there best effort I've seen all year. We might get killed by Dr. Phillips but atleast we get the shot!!! 4-0 in 2 years against ATL. Atlantic has had 7 D1 athletes in those 2 years vs SR's maybe 2. LOX LOX LOX
