Well, an impressive display of offensive prowess that was not.
No. 10 seed Redwood leads No. 7 Hoover 7-0 at halftime of this Central Section Division 2 football playoff game at McLane Stadium, but it wasn't because of the Rangers' offense.
Redwood defensive back Matt Ramos stepped in front of a Shane Martinez pass and returned it 35 yards for a touchdown with 8:41 remaining in the second quarter for the game's only score.
Neither team has been able to pass, and defenses focused on the rush have closed off the running lanes.
Redwood has 45 yards at halftime, only 6 passing.
Hoover has been even worse, with 13 yards, including a -2 passing.
Ranger linebacker Taylor George made sure his team went into halftime with the lead when he sacked Martinez for a 12-yard loss to end the first half on a fourth-down play that started from the Redwood 13-yard line.
Hoover twice started possessions in Redwood territory, only to come away empty handed.
