Outtakes: Miscommunication. It happens.

Loved this shot from photographer Chad Coleman during Friday’s 27-21 Bellevue win over Liberty out in Renton.

The Patriots, facing an important third-and-short on their final drive, called timeout to make sure they had the right play called.

Here was what happened on the ensuiing play.

Ouch

Ouch

That’s Liberty running back Chandler Jenkins, well, running directly into quarterback Trey Wheeler during the handoff. Jenkins, however, didn’t quit on the play but somehow managed to get the yardage for the first down.

You have to love it when it all goes exactly as planned.

I'm the sports writer at the Bellevue Reporter newspaper. On this blog you'll find extra bits and pieces to stories I've written, observations on events in our area, and a behind the scenes look at what it takes to bring a story together. I'll field questions here, and maybe even ask a few too. I'm a 2007 graduate of the journalism program at Eastern Washington University. Prior to joining the Reporter, I worked at USA Hockey Magazine and did radio work with the Colorado Springs Sky Sox AAA baseball team. When I'm not busy covering the happenings in Bellevue, I enjoy playing hockey, watching sports and spending time with my family. You can also follow me on Twitter or you can send me an email.
