DALLAS 36
Ed-LARK 6
The Dallas Jr. Mounts
opened the 2012 season with a
36-6 victory over the Ed-Lark
Hurricanes.
Todd Phillips opened the
scoring with a 60-yard run off
the right side behind a key
block by Blake Chopyak. Ste-
ven Newell added runs of 50
and 80 yards.
Behind great offensive line
play of Colin Zeiss, Jacob Es-
posito continued the scoring
with a run of 40 yards and a
catch of 50 yards.
The defense, led by Ryan
Maloney and Hunter Love, did
not give up a first down until
late in the second quarter.
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.
