Monroe defeated Edmonds-Woodway 28-14

Monroe quarterback Blake Springer threw two touchdown passes to Trent Bublitz and the Bearcats defense intercepted three passes in the second half as Monroe improved its overall season record to 7-0.

The Bearcats jumped out to the early 7-0 lead when Mason Davis returned the game’s opening kickoff 90 yards down the left sideline for a touchdown. The score would remain unchanged until late in the second quarter.

Edmonds-Woodway defensive lineman Austin Renfro blocked a Monroe punt that the Warriors recovered at the Monroe 23-yard line. Three plays later on 4th and 10, Diego Escandon lofted a pass into the back of the end zone that Cannon Kennard brought down for a 23-yard touchdown. The extra point attempt was good and the score was tied at 7-7 with 3:32 left in the first half. Escandon started the game at wide receiver before replacing Steven Warren Jr at quarterback early in the second quarter after Warren was injured.

Monroe responded quickly by driving 51 yards down the field on six plays. Springer finished the drive with a 13-yard touchdown pass to Bublitz with 1:50 left in the half, giving Monroe a 14-7 lead.

The Bearcats extended the lead to 21-7 on their second possession of the second half when Springer connected with Bublitz for a 41-yard touchdown with 6:58 to go in the third quarter. The touchdown drive was set up when Beau Pruett intercepted an Escandon pass four plays earlier.

The Warriors answered the Monroe touchdown with one of their own as Escandon and Kennard connected again with a 63-yard touchdown, wrapping up a four-play, 80-yard drive and trimming the Bearcats’ lead to 21-14 with 4:56 left in the third quarter. Kennard finished the game with eight receptions for 149 yards and two touchdowns.

Edmonds-Woodway put together an impressive drive on the final three plays of the third quarter. Starting at the Warriors’ own 14-yard line, Escandon completed passes on three consecutive plays; a 20-yard completion to David Danyo, a 14-yard pass to Liam Fitting and a 42-yard strike to Danyo, which put the Warriors at the Bearcat 10-yard line. The Warriors then attempted to tie the game on the first play of the fourth quarter; however Escandon’s pass was intercepted by Eli Miller in the end zone.

The Bearcats followed up Miller’s interception by putting together an 11-play offensive drive that took more than six minutes off the clock, concluding when Pruett scored on a 1-yard run to give the Bearcats a 28-14 advantage with 5:33 left in the game. The Warriors had two more possessions, but Monroe’s defense held the Warriors in check to preserve the win — extending the Bearcats’ season record to 7-0.
