In the second quarter, the Leopard defense got their first of two big turnovers as Darcel McBath stripped the ball from Shipley and Jeremy Franklin was there to fall on it.
Darcel McBath returned the ensuing kickoff out to the 48 yard line. Purvey ran 29 yards on first down to get the ball to the 13. Three plays later, quarterback Chris Brown snuck in from 2 yards to put the Leopards up 28-24 with 8:20 left in the game.
WELL: Before we get excited:
"Darcel McBath, who was still on top of the world after Gainesvilles 35-24 win over Burnet in the 3A state championship game, has seen his recruiting stock rise dramatically over the course of this season.
He currently has visits set up for Maryland next weekend, Texas A&M on January 9th and Texas Tech January 16th. (He has yet to reschedule a visit to Kansas but said he will do so.)
Schools falling off McBaths interest meter are Wisconsin, Iowa State and hinted it didnt look good for TCU.
His thoughts on the Red Raiders?
Tech is a great school who is always competitive in the Big 12, said McBath. They have a chance to win the Big 12 every year.
The Texas Hot 100 prospect said he loves the spread offense Tech runs and likes the Red Raider defensive schemes as well.
I think I would have a good chance at getting in there and playing early at Tech, said McBath. Thats a big factor for me; I want to play as soon as possible.
The 6-0, 170-pounder said he wants to play special teams on the next level.
I think I could help them out on special teams and kick returns. I love doing that and I think that Im pretty good at it, said McBath who pointed out that the Red Raiders are losing Wes Welker.
The Scarlet and Black have to feel very good about getting the 74th-ranked Texas prep's last scheduled official giving them the last word.
Another Note: McBath seemed extremely familiar with the Red Raiders and appears to be a fan of Welker."
