Recap

Eliminated with the pressure off, the Kailua Wyverns taught Oklahoma City a lesson in sleepwalking over an opponent. The Wyverns kicked five field goals in their home finale, a 22-17 victory over the Renegades.

The loss dropped Oklahoma City to 4-3 heading into their bye week without a clinched playoff spot. The Wyverns won despite less than 300 yards of total offense, their lowest output of the season.

A big part of Kailua’s victory Monday night was their run defense against Pete Bruschi. Bruschi was held to just 71 yards on 26 carries, his second lowest career game total. Kailua’s defense also intercepted Wes St. Clair three times in the contest.

Linebacker Sebastian Brock had a heroic performance. After leaving the game with an apparant injury, Brock returned to lead the Wyverns in tackles (10). He also recorded a sack and a pass defended. He leads Kailua in tackles in 2013.

After a shaky first half, St. Clair bounced back to throw two second-half touchdowns, one to wide receiver David Wagstaff, only his second of the year. It was the first game for St. Clair with multiple touchdown passes.

Kailua was eliminated Monday with a Grand Rapids loss to Dallas but can continue to relish in the role of spoiler. Their final home game was also the team’s first official win in front of their hometown fans. Oklahoma City heads into their final bye week next week.
