The offfensive line led by Co- dy Long, Evan May, Matt Dur- ling, Adam Simmonette, Brian Durling, CJ McCauley, Jstus Schultz, Joey Vigil and Tyler Brobst had another great game, dominating the line of scrimmage.

Angelo Baltier, Elija Vigil, Joey Vigil and Paul Ciaccia each had some great runs for the Bob- cats. The defense played a solid game, holding the Hurricanes scoreless. The defensive line, led by Paul Ciaccia, Austin Par- ry, Randy Zacharais, PJ Kon- nick, Elija Vigil, Justus Schultz and Brian Durling, kept pres- sure on the quarterback. The defensive backs, led by Joey Vigil, Angelo Baltier, Evan May, Dylan Pilger, Willy Mu- cha, CJ] McCauley and Justin Butler, did a good job of keep- ing the backs in from of them and out of the endzone. Willy Mucha and “Stick” each had a interception for Back Mountain while Elija Vig- il recovered a fumble for the Bobcats. B TEAM Ed-Lark 30 Back Mountain 0 Despite a great effort by the Back Mountain B team, the Bobcats came up on the short end of a 30-0 score against Ed- Lark. The offense, led by Adam Ro- sencrance, Connor Kerkowski, Anthony Grandenitti, Devin Dickson, Owen Morgan and Chris Allen, did a great job in protecting the backfield of Stone Mannello, Corbin Hol- comb, Jack Tomko, Cameron Brennan and RJ Driscoll. Great defense was led by Zack Haddle, Erik Sweppen- heiser, Zack Gabel, Eric Ge- orge, Art Coolbaugh, Marcus Steele and Bob Oakley. Kingston Township 14 The Kingston Township Raiders B Team improved to 7-2 with a 14-8 victory over a ve- ry tough Exeter Panthers team. The offense was led by quar- terback Ricky Morgan, filling in for an injured Ryan Martin. Morgan was solid throughout the game and was supported with a fine running effort by the starting backfield consist- ing of Bret Storrs, Connor Mot- ley and Tanner Gattuso. All three contributed to a consis- tently successful running effort all afternoon . This effort was made possi- ble by the blocking efforts of Mitch Kelly, David Edwards, den, Nick Mathers and Kyle Piskorik. The Pan- thers pulled ahead, 8-0, in the second quarter but the Raiders would not be denied the victo- ry; they fought back to win. This effort was led by Bret Storrs with two touchdowns, although the whole backfield contributed to moving the ball downfield. Once the Panthers had scored, a solid defensive effort by the Raiders did not allow ad- ditional points. The Panthers’; running game was kept in check in the second half by a tough Raiders defensive line anchored by David Edwards, Mitch Kelly, Jason Culp and Michael Golden. Defensive ends Conor Mot- ley and Christian Roberts pre- vented the Panthers from breaking the outside on their runs. As a result, the Panthers attempted to move the ball by passing. Once again, the Raid- ers’ defense stood up to the challenge. There was excellent cornerback play by the Math- ers brothers, Nick and Mat- thew. Also, a solid effort was turned in by safety Peter Cap- itano, who ended up with two interceptions for the after- noon.
