   Coming off a tough loss against their rivals the Nease Panthers, the Ponte Vedra High School Sharks went into their first away game against the Episcopal Eagles with a \u201ctake no prisoners\u201d mindset. They wanted to make up for that last game and more. That fire proved successful as the Sharks went home with not only their first win of the season but a 34-0 shutout. This win truly was a team effort, as both sides of the ball executed exactly what they needed to do in order to stay on top. Whether it was making big plays to rack up points or the impenetrable defense holding the Eagles at bay, everything was done perfectly, just like they practiced. This win brought their season record to 1-1.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

   Starting off with a bang, the Sharks defense put up an early lead in the first quarter when senior, linebacker Luke Pirris got an interception and took to the house for six. Shortly after, senior, running back Nolan Parlette scored a rushing touchdown, bringing the score to 14-0 in just the first quarter. The Eagles had a lot of ground to make up but thanks to the Sharks immovable defense, with major contributions from junior, Kingston Kamaal, they could not find an answer. Keeping the momentum going, junior, wide receiver Wyatt Rodgers caught a pass in the end zone, squashing any hopes the Eagles had left for a comeback. However, the offense were not the only stars of the show, PVHS\u2019 defense was formidable and much more than a match for Episcopal\u2019s offense. They held their quarterback to under a fifty percent completion rate and just one hundred and fifty yards throughout the entirety of the game causing his QB rate to be a mere twenty-three and a half. The wide receivers were held to just thirteen receptions, none of them coming with a contributing to their score. The Eagles running backs had even less luck combining for a total loss of three yards in nineteen carries. Their offense all together only gained a total of one hundred and forty-seven yards, while PVHS had three hundred and forty-nine yards, more than doubling Episcopal\u2019s positive yardage. Overall, the Sharks defense really shined racking up stats showing forty total tackles, two sacks, and three interceptions all in one game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

   Coach Price\u2019s team continued to practice hard and make improvements day after day in order to be fully prepared for their game. He explained, hard work is something they will continue to push upon the players in order to build off the winning momentum, and strive to continuously improve every day. The factors in this game were the continual good playing by their defense and special teams. The game was full of exciting events and he said, \u201cI had many good memories, but I really enjoyed Luke Pirris\u2019 interception for a touchdown.\u201d Pirris has the perspective of a true winner; he wants to continue to improve his mental aspect of the game and focus on reading his keys better. He feels strongest about his pass coverage and blitzing ability but wants to get better at tackling. His ultimate goal is to make a deep run into the playoffs, but for himself he wants to stay humble and continue to improve weekly. This game Pirris and his coach had each other in mind as his favorite moment was \u201ccelebrating Coach Price\u2019s first win at PVHS when the game ended.\u201d This whole Sharks team has their eyes on the prize and are willing to work nonstop until they achieve their end goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

   The shutout game was complete with a perfect movie style ending when the team celebrated by dumping a cooler full of Gatorade onto head Coach Price. Not only were they celebrating the win in general but also Coach Price\u2019s first victory as a coach for the Sharks, wrapping up what could only be described as an incredibly successful night for the Ponte Vedra Sharks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
