Recap

The Wild Boars and the visiting Rams have met for the third time in as many season, this time at the Čika Dača stadium in Kragujevac.

Rams have opened the game with the ball in their hands. A very aggressive Wild Boars’ defense pins the visitors to their own goal line and they punt.

Long range pass from Jacob Sisson to Stefan Borković on third down, and a Nick LaSane rush through the middle keep the Wild Boars’ drive going until their turnover on downs on Rams’ 30 yard line.

David Whipple lobs a pass to home team’s 10 yard line and Joshua Quezada runs in for the first points, 0-7.

Wild Boars take just two plays to equalize. Sisson hits both his targets for long yardage, second one being Pedro Medici who’s good for a 24 yard touchdown.

Next, Whipple launches the ball 49 yards deep left to Kris Wedderburn and the score is up to 7-14.

Number of plays per drive keeps decreasing as the Wild Boars open their next drive. Right off the block Sisson runs the length of the field piercing through the defense to level the score again, 14-14.

Pattern keeps repeating in the first play of Rams’ ensuing possession. Home team’s DT Nebojša Mirković takes no time to force a fumble, and get the ball to the end zone 21-14.

In their next offensive series, Rams take their time. It’s not until the third play when Wedderburn sprints it in for an equalizer, 21-21.

As they get the ball, Serbians manage to move in close and Sisson puts the ball in Medici’s hands in the end zone. After a gimmick play for the added 2 points, they lead by 29-21.

Whipple hurries to return the favor over a 29 yard pass to Quezada for a touchdown, and then rushes himself for a 2 point try, 29-29.

In the second half Rams try for a field goal from opponent’s 20 yard line, but the kick is blocked.

Wild Boars move the ball with short passes and Sisson tosses it for another score to Medici, 36-29.

Turkish team returns the ball deep into defended territory but can’t budge from there. Home team scores on the next play on a long Sisson pass over the middle to Borković for 43-29.

Rams answer with Whipple’s own pass over the middle to Wedderburn, 43-36.

Wild Boars up the score once more with a Sisson to Medici connection for the fourth time, 50-36.

Rams are backed against their end zone and can’t move. Their rivals take over and put the finishing touch with a field goal for the closing 53-36.

It was a scoring bonanza for both teams as their secondary couldn’t match each other’s offensive weapons.

Xenith trophy helmet was deserved by MVP of the game, Pedro Medici who caught 4 touchdowns and over 100 yards.
