Cats vs. Giants |
Cats win, 24-6 |
|

The Cats continued to remain the only team without a loss as they beat the Giants 24-6 behind the running and throwing of Bennett Abladian, and plenty of support from Justin Grondahl, Cameron Richard-Storace, Sam MacGregor and Lucas Hamilton. The first score of the game was on a run by Richard-Storace, and MacGregor ran the ball into the end zone for the PAT and the Cats led 8-0. The Cats again struck pay dirt on a run by Grondahl. The PAT was no good and the Cats lead 14-0 at halftime. The Giants defense arose the in the 2nd half sparked by the monster play of Quinn Wade. Wade stripped the ball from Richard-Storace as he was fighting for extra yardage and he ran the ball down the sideline for a Giants touchdown putting them within striking distance of the Cats. The PAT was no good and the score was now 14-6. However, the Cats put the icing on the cake on several key plays. Richard-Storace tackled the Giants runner in the end zone for a safety making the score 16-6. Then MacGregor scored on a short run and the subsequent PAT attempt was good on a run by John Luchsinger, making the final score 24-6. The Cats offensive line of Noah Buteau, Hayden Marshall, Geoffrey Smith, Jonathon Briggs and Kyle Miller did a great job of blocking and protecting the Cats offensive stars. On two occasions, Abladian hit Lucas Hamilton for long passes, one of which was called back due to a Cats penalty. On defense the Cats were sparked by the play of Adam Houtenville, Miller (fumble recovery), MacGregor (fumble recovery), Quinn Wilson, Sam Pigot, Owen Hilyard, Jacob Plewinski, Colin Clarke and Richard-Storace. The Giants offense was sparked by Dylan Murpy, Spencer Murphy, Bradley Plodzik, Cody Sheehan and Tyler Millette. A highlight for the Giants on offense was the Statue of Liberty play in which Sheehan went back to pass and Spencer Murphy took the ball from the grasp of Sheehan and down the sideline for a nice gain. The Giants defense was anchored all day by Wade, who had two fumble recoveries and was in on numerous tackles, Sheehan, Plodzik, Ethan Jennison, Jackson Perkins and Spencer Murphy (interception). |

Raiders vs. Jaguars |
Raiders win, 20-8 |
|

The Raiders ran their winning streak to four in a row as they beat the Jaguars 20-8. The Jaguars started out like they might run away with the game, but the Raiders got going by displaying a well balanced offense of running and passing plays and a menacing defense which shut down the high powered Jags offense. The Jags struck for the first score with Pete Ciotti forcing a fumble in the end zone and Aaron Oroh covered it up to prevent the Jags from getting a touchdown. The Jags went up 8-0 as Luke McCusker scored on a short run. The PAT failed and that was the last scoring of the day for the Jags as the Raiders defense, lead by Aiden McDonough, Patrick Gunter, Luc Normandeau and Oroh rose to the occasion and interrupted passing and running plays the Jags tried to run. The Raiders first score was on a long pass play as Oroh hit Normandeau in stride and he ran into the end zone untouched. The PAT was no good and the Raiders closed the gap to 8-6 going into halftime. In the 3rd quarter, Normandeau scored on a nice run and Damien Hancock converted the PAT and the Raiders had the lead by the score of 14-8. The Jaguars got the ball back in the 4th quarter with a solid defensive stop in the Raiders end, but then quickly gave up a sack and subsequent interception. The Raiders sealed the win on a short run by Aaron Dean. The PAT failed and the final score was 20-8. In addition to McCusker, the Jags offense was led by John Wertz, Kyle Ferrerio, Pat Fleming, and Jack Dalton. A highlight for the Jags was a superb pass play from McCusker to Dalton. The Jags defense was anchored by Ciotti, Wertz (forced fumble and fumble recovery), and Ferriero (saved TD on a long Raiders run) and Connor Blomstrom. |

The Chiefs notched there second win of the season by beating the Jets, 20-8. The Jets started out on fire as they scored their first and only touchdown in the 1st quarter on a short run by Andral Lafleur. The PAT attempt was good as Blake Parmer ran the ball to the outside and the Jets had their only lead of the game at 8-0. From that point on, it was all Chiefs. Fin Wingren scored the Chiefs first touchdown on a short run. The PAT attempt was good as Jacob Gellerson connected with Ty Vitko on short pass in the end zone and the score was knotted at 8-8. The Chiefs next touchdown was scored in the 3rd quarter by Ty Vitko as he ran down the sideline making some nifty moves to make it 14-8. The PAT was no good. The Chiefs final score was again scored by Wingren on another short run up the middle. The PAT attempt failed and the final score was 20-8 in favor of the Chiefs. The Chiefs offense was sparked by Ethan Boucher, Sean Gallipo, Vitko, Gellerson and Wingren. A highlight on offense was a nice pass play from Vitko to Sebastian Cook which moved the Chiefs into the red zone. The Jets offense was lead by Lafleur, Collin Serra and Blake Parmer. The Jets lost the services of speedy Trevor Cirinna early in the game which seemed to thwart the Jets offense thereafter. On defense, the Jets were lead by Ryan Pottier, Pete Solbo, Aaron Daniels, Matthew Brun, Michael Brun, Serra and Parmer. The Chiefs defense was anchored by Sidonio LaBelle, Liam Bonyman, Cook, Wingren, Vitko (interception) and Gallipo (fumble recovery). |
