Geeslin’s four scores lead Legacy by Shadow Ridge

Naim Geeslin ran for 146 yards and four touchdowns Thursday as Legacy's football team defeated visiting Shadow Ridge, 28-7.

"With this being our last home game, we wanted to go out with a bang," Geeslin said.

The win secured the Southwest League's No. 3 seed for the Longhorns (3-6, 2-2 Southwest), who will visit Centennial in the opening round of the Sunset Region playoffs. Shadow Ridge (1-8, 1-3) will visit Arbor View in the opening round.

Kody Presser passed for 90 yards and a touchdown for Shadow Ridge.

After the opening kickoff went for a touchback, Presser hit Dominick Wilson for an 80-yard score on the first play of scrimmage, giving Shadow Ridge a 7-0 lead with 11:44 to play in the opening quarter.

Legacy responded on the next drive when Geeslin punched in a 3-yard touchdown run with 8:40 to play in the first quarter, tying the score at 7-7. The senior had five carries for 44 yards on the drive.

Geeslin struck again just before the half, scoring on a 1-yard run with 50 seconds to play in the second quarter, and Legacy took a 14-7 halftime lead.

The senior added a third touchdown on a 1-yard run, putting the Longhorns ahead 21-7 with 7:21 to play in the third quarter.

Geeslin scored a career-high fourth touchdown on an 11-yard run with 3:12 to play in the third quarter, making the score 28-7.

Legacy coach John Isola, who coached the inaugural season at Shadow Ridge in 2003, said he was especially proud of the Longhorns' defensive performance on Friday.

"We were supposed to perform tonight and we did," Isola said. "After their first score, our guys really took over."
