Ed-Lark finally scored late in the third quarter on a run up the middle, breaking a couple tackles on his way to the end zone. Dallas travels to Plymouth today to take on the Shawnee Indians. The Dallas Junior Mounts C- team started off the season on the right foot, winning a tight 80 victory over the Ed/Lark Hurricanes. The Dallas defense was strong and totally shut down Jr. Mounts pick up two victories the Hurricanes offense. The defensive line of Nick Binek- Moshey, Lucas Shultz, Jared Adamski, Alex Hajikowski, De- vin Richards, Josh Peters, Nick Spencer and Sawyer Christ- man controlled the line of scrimmage for the entire con- test, limiting Ed/Lark’s offense to just a few yards. The defensive backs and li- nebackers consisting of Matt Esposito, Ayden Berndt, Mitch Burgess, Matt Lukasavage, Mike Ropetski and Brennan Eggleston made plays when the Hurricane backs eluded the swarming D-line. The Dallas offense moved the ball consistently but when the Jr. Mounts got near the goal line, the Hurricanes stiff- ened, limiting the Back Moun- tain boys to just one touch- down and one 2-point conver- sion. Paving the way for Dallas were linemen Tal Richards, Ju- nior Atherholt, Bryce Cho- pyak, JR.Redmond and Parker Bolesta. Dallas used the old school “ground and pound,” gaining most of its yards between the tackles with Matt Lukasavage scoring the lone touchdown and Jared Adamski scoring the 2-point conversion. Leading the way were pow- erbacks Brennan Eggleston and Duane Craig.
