Carrollton’s Gus Coonrod leaps high in the air to make this catch from quarterback Grant Pohlman in the endzone to score one of Carrollton’s many touchdowns Saturday against Unity.
The Carrollton Hawks might have lost their first game of the season against Camp Point Central, but they have been all business since then, now sporting a 7-1 record after Saturday’s decisive win over Unity-Seymour 55-27.
The Hawks got on the board early, scoring on their first possession. Quarterback Grant Pohlman, on a quarterback keeper, took the ball into the endzone from 19 yards out to put the Hawks on the board first.
Unity would get their first score on a Pohlman interception at the Carrollton 18-yard line. The failed two-point conversion left Carrollton still in the lead.
Carrollton came back with two more touchdown throws from Pohlman – one to Kyle Leonard and one to Gus Coonrod to make the score 21-6 with a little over 7 minutes left to go in the second quarter.
Unity found their second wind, however, scoring two touchdowns to cut the lead to just one, 21-20 going into the half.
To start the third quarter, Pohlman took the ball in himself to increase the lead to 28-20.
Unity couldn’t find the endzone while Carrollton continued to add to it’s lead. Pohlman connected with Leonard on a 36-yard pass and after a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty was added on, the Hawks found themselves on Unity’s 13-yard line. Pohlman connected with Hayden Flowers who took it in for the score making it 35-20.
Pohlman then connected with Leonard on a 43-yard missile leading to another score putting Carrollton up 42-20 with less than a minute to go in the third quarter.
Carrollton would score two more times in the fourth quarter. Once on a pass from Pohlman to Coonrod and then on an interception by Leonard who took it 45 yards for a touchdown with just under five minutes left in the game.
Unity would score one more time on a 70-yard run to make the final score 55-27.
