Article by Spencer Lee

(#PALM #DESERT) -- It was only minutes before kickoff last Saturday night against the four-time champion San Diego Thunder when SoCal Coyotes head coach J. David Miller gathered his young troops and furiously implored them that “four or five plays will be the difference,” and that “close games against championship teams come down to who makes the fewest mistakes.”

Sadly, the Hall-of-Fame coach was right on both counts -- and it came at the expense of another all-world performance by Coyotes receiver Rashad “The Franchise” Roberts, as the Thunder rallied from a 17-0 deficit to win a wild 44-34 shootout at Xavier College Prep.

The SoCal defense surrendered only two long touchdowns – a 56-yard run and a 63-yard pass – but when combined with 150 yards in penalties that led to critical San Diego first downs, it was too much to overcome for the record-shattering Roberts, who turned in an eye-popping 294-yard receiving performance.

Despite the outcome, the deafening home crowd got their money’s worth.

SoCal quarterback Nate Lewis, who finished the night 28-43 for 514 yards and three scores, put on a Silver Stretch, Run ‘n’ Shoot clinic for most of the game, and completed passes to nine different receivers.

The Coyotes scored on their first three possessions, easily jumping to a 17-0 lead. After S-back Nigel Simmons turned a screen pass into a 39-yard score, the Coyotes defense held, and Lewis capped a second drive with an easy post-corner to Roberts.

Lewis had the Coyotes marching for another apparent score when a simple mistake would change the game. A Lewis pass bounced high into the air off the shoulder pads of his wide-open receiver at the San Diego 22, and two plays after the ensuing interception, the veteran Thunder scored on a momentum-killing 56-yard touchdown run.

“We teach our receivers every day to catch the ball ‘in the noose’ – that nothing good happens when you catch it off your pads,” said Miller. “It’s too bad we had to prove it. That was a 14-point swing that took us from a good night to a gun fight.”

By halftime, the Thunder held a 20-17 lead, and the second half was a see-saw war. Lewis kept the gritty Coyotes in the game with strikes to Kevin Page and Wayne Jacobs that led to a slashing two-yard touchdown by Simmons, and kicker Dan Kelly answered a San Diego field goal with a 32-yarder of his own.

The Coyotes seemed to gain back momentum and had the Thunder pinned deep in their own territory on third and 31 – only to give up a back-breaking 49-yard pass that would ultimately lead to another San Diego touchdown. “Mistakes killed us,” said Miller. “On that drive alone, we gave up 55 yards in penalties.”

The inimitable Rashad Roberts , meanwhile, was downright dazzling. Catch after catch, “The Franchise” skied high for critical first downs with sensational acrobatic stabs. Then, with the game on the line, the clutch Roberts outraced a San Diego corner for a perfect 80-yard rainbow from Lewis that pulled the Coyotes to within 37-34 with just under two minutes to play.

But the Coyotes, who were out of timeouts, barely lost the onside kick.

The Thunder, who had two players ejected during the contest and had another player hurl a ball into the SoCal Coyotes grandstand, ended the game with a 35-yard meaningless touchdown.

The Coyotes (1-1) will travel to Pasadena this weekend for a showdown with the California Tide.

Dickie O'Neal's Irish Pub Restaurant Palm Springs - Coyotes Light Up Home Opener 44-0

Coyotes Light Up Home Opener 44-0

SoCal Coyote News

(PALM DESERT) — The bumper-to-bumper traffic snaking from the I-10 corridor off Cook Street toward the bright lights of Xavier College Prep made it clear the valley was ready for the 2013 debut of their desert champion SoCal Coyotes against the San Diego Spartans.

Once inside, a standing-room only crowd of 2,231 couldn’t wait to see how the vastly improved Coyotes would fare against the steep competition in the Southern California Football Alliance, one of the nation’s most prominent AAA conferences among 800 teams.

For the Coyotes, however, the results looked strikingly familiar — a devastating 44-0 whitewash of the Spartans, behind a blistering demonstration of the quick-strike Silver Stretch Run ‘n’ Shoot offense and a Darkside Defense that legally should come with its own ambulance.

As a worldwide radio audience listened live on Team 1010 KXPS, the Coyotes ripped into the Spartans, rolling up 501 yards in total Silver Stretch offense behind four touchdowns from quarterback Nate Lewis.

The former 2012 National Player of the Year completed 24 of 34 for 321 yards, with 11 of those going to All-American Rashad “The Franchise” Roberts for 176 yards and two scores. Former Arena Football stars Kevin Page and AJ Allen each added two more scores from Lewis.

But the real story was the entire Darkside Defense, who humbled San Diego by only allowing them across the 50 twice, and inside the 30 once. The Coyotes brought devastating waves of pressure that sent Spartan helmets flying, jaws popping, and hitting so fierce that Spartans runners seldom ventured past the line of scrimmage.

Former NCAA preseason All-American defensive end Devin Howard was a relentless, disruptive force, to the point that San Diego tried countless blocking schemes — two tight ends, a fullback, traps, draws, and double-teams – to slow him. Nothing worked. Howard spent the entire night in the Spartans backfield, which created opportunity for chinstrap-popping linebacker Devin Jones, who led all tacklers with 16.

Defensive end Jason Franek blocked the first punt of his career and scored the first defensive touchdown in SoCal Coyotes history.

Kicker Dan Kelly converted all five PATs, and connected on field goals of 45, 39 and 48 yards.
For the Spartans, it could have been much worse. The Coyotes left 34 points on the field: A 26-yard touchdown run by rookie running back Nigel Simmons was nullified by holding; three different receivers dropped touchdowns in the end zone; and Kelly missed from 51 and 46.
Simmons still led all rushers with 34 yards.

“We have a lot of work to do,” said head coach J. David Miller, who picked up the 75th victory in his Hall of Fame career. “We played no preseason games, so we were rusty. It’s behind us, and now we turn our attention to the Thunder. There are no days off in this league.”

The Coyotes have a bye week, then return home to Xavier against the San Diego Thunder on September 7.
