Unionville quarterback Connor Gades surveys the defense against Coatesville on Saturday.<\/p><\/div>\n

EAST MARLBOROUGH \u2014 The look in Connor Gades\u2019 eyes told the whole story. Crouched on the field following the loss of his Unionville football team to Coatesville, 21-17, Saturday, the senior quarterback was heartbroken.<\/p>\n

Gades led his Indians on a spirited comeback against the Red Raiders after finding themselves down in a 21-7 in the first half \u2014 although they got close, twice, late they couldn\u2019t close the deal. The loss means a very tough road for Unionville (2-3) to make another postseason appearance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to win out,\u201d said Unionville head coach Pat Clark. \u201cWe have to go 7-3, win out and see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coatesville ripped up the Indians\u2019 defense in the first half, marching up and down the field behind the powerful running of Dae-hon Cheung, who rushed for 100 yards. Manny Stocker, Coatesville\u2019s quarterback, while ineffective un the run, was able to get the ball downfield through the air in the first half.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe dug ourselves kind of a hole early,\u201d Clark said. \u201cWe weren\u2019t ready, offensive mistakes, defensive mistakes, special teams mistakes. I guess that shows I\u2019ve got to make sure we\u2019re a little better prepared.\u201d<\/p>\n

By the time Unionville found its bearings, it trailed 14-0. Mounting a solid drive, the Indians climbed back into the game in the second quarter, capped by a four-yard scoring run by Mason Popham. But the Red Raiders weren\u2019t done and marched right back down the field, with Cheung scoring to put them back out front 21-7 with just 41 second left in the first half.<\/p>\n

It was at that point that Gades rose to the occasion. He connected on three straight passes, moving his team 42 yards in a matter of seconds, setting up a Norb Sax 40-yard field goal as time expired in the half \u2014 leaving the score 21-10.<\/p>\n

The second half was a different story. Unionville was finally able to shut down Cheung and Stocker \u2014 but it couldn\u2019t get the ball moving on the ground.<\/p>\n

\u201cthey\u2019re good, they\u2019re athletic,\u201d Clark said of Coatesville\u2019s defense. \u201cTheir two inside guys gave us fits. We found some things on the edge and off tackle, but they made it tough for us to run the ball inside today.\u201d<\/p>\n

That meant Gades had to continue to find ways to get it done \u2014 and he did.<\/p>\n

He hit Rich Kaiser with a 58-yard touchdown pass in the opening minutes of the third quarter \u2014 and that got the Indians going, or so it seemed. Unionville got drive moving again, but the rugged Coatesville defense always seemed to find a way to make a stop when was needed. The game ended when a Gades pass was knocked away by Coatesville\u2019s Shawn Brannon.<\/p>\n

The Indians face Oxford, Friday night. Although Oxford has been struggling, the Hornets are coming off their first win of the season \u2014 and the game figures to be crucial for Unionville\u2019s playoff hopes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
