Crespi gets a break, then misses the opportunity

The first break of the second half falls Crespi’s way. A low snap was not handled by Long Beach Poly punter David Skara. Crespi took over at the 34, but immediately got called for a hold to move it back to the 45.

However, Austin Shanks just ran for a first down and the Celts have the ball at the 22. The rain has lightened up. The Celts recovered their own fumble and are back at the 27.

See what I mean. A step forward, two steps back.

These teams are better than this.

They have to be. I ranked them in my top 5.

Christian Nastos’ 33-yard field goal attempt was blocked by Romeo Robinson.

Poly still leads, 6-3, with 1:53 left in the third quarter.
