Carmel football

A 99 yard drive in under two minutes.
Two touchdowns on fourth-and-goal -- the first with four seconds left in the game, the second coming on Carmel's overtime drive.
A two-point conversation to keep its hopes alive. The recovery of an on-side kick. The stop of a two-point conversation in overtime.
 Did I forget the five broken tackles by Hayden Stachelek after a catch to get into the end zone for the Padres first touchdown?
The Padres piled up 22 points in the final 40 seconds of regulation and one short overtime drive.
We know this offense has been a juggernaut for eight years.
Yet, where was all this over the first 47 minutes, when Carmel was down 15-0 to snake bitten Scotts Valley.
No explanation needed.
Lessons will be learned from this on both sides. Momentum can shift that fast.
Carmel choose to kick an extra point and force overtime instead of playing for the win. Scotts Valley went for two in overtime and failed.
 It's easy to see why the Padres choose overtime. They had all the momentum. It's not hard to figure out why Scotts Valley went for two in overtime.
 Who wants to play extra football in a non-league game?
 In that situation, Carmel coach Golden Anderson said he would have done the same thing if he were Scotts Valley.
 Regulation was different in his mind. As a result, one team is 2-0. The other 0-2.
