E Silver Game Brief from Saturday, September 27th

Well, the only team brave enough to weather the storm this past weekend was the E Silver team. They were scheduled for a Saturday game in Norfolk, and unfortunately, they had to play in the muck. I think Coach Hurley's game summary says it all, so here it is.

E Silver traveled to Norfolk on Saturday, Sepember 27th for a 3:30 PM game against Norfolk 2. E Silver lost it's first game (and was scored upon for the first time of the year) to a very good Norfolk team. The final score was 35 - 13.

The highlight of the day goes to the players, parents, family, friends and coaches that made their way to Norfolk from Plymouth in torrential downpours with the expectation that the game MAY get cancelled upon our arrival. "Wishful thinking" of a cancellation did not prevail as 15 of our 21 players showed up to play on a wet, sloppy and muddy field. Our 15 kids played as hard as Norfolk's 28 players. Have you ever heard of the outdoorsmen's magazine "Field and Stream?" Well that's what the field conditions were like; a field with a stream running through it!!!!!

Roy "Boxcar Willie" Willis scored the Vikings' only points and ran as best he could against a tough Norfolk defense. Offensive/Defensive Guard Anthony "I'm Hittin' You Hard, Even If You Aint Ready" Spinnetti worked his butt off "in the trenches" for 4 full quarters. Spinnetti shook off several double teams to still come up with 2 quarterback sacks. Andrew "Monsta" Meyer also gave 110% effort on the field.

Our players learned Saturday that (like their parents) some days are good ones and others are not. The key is to get back up when you are knocked to the ground, brush yourself off and "get back into the game."

Week 4 Results-Vikings win 7 of 9!- Updated, more to come

This was a great day of football today by all the Vikings teams. Finally, the weather cooperated on game day, and the home crowds were treated to some great action.

As the game summaries roll in from the coaches, they will be posted right here so check back often.

D White

Once again the Vikings defense was able to hold a very strong Holliston team to an 18-0 victory, and their strong offense was able to score on three different occasions orchestrated by Cooper Gavin with running TDs by Colby Randall, Michael Crosby and Ben Waithe. D White improved their record to 4-0 with this very nice win.


The Vikings defense was strong on all fronts with some exceptional plays made by Kyle Mann, who managed to break through a very strong Holliston offensive line to sack the QB for a loss of several yards along with several bone jarring tackles. Additionally, Austin Hanlon & Michael Crosby had three TD saving interceptions. Also Miles Crothers, Colby Randall, TJ Hagan and Pat Travers all had big open field tackles to stall several Holliston drives.


George Thurston and Cooper Gavin traded off at QB to lead us to another victory.

E White

E White came away with a hard fought 13-12 win. Nolan Perry ran for two long touchdowns. Will Barrett had a key pass to PJ Beuttel on a third and 12 for a key first down on the game winning drive. Good plays on both sides of the ball were turned in by Nolan Davis, John Macvarish, James Richards, Eric Decoste, and Casey Fernandez.

D Silver

D Silver lost against North Attleboro 2 by a score of 7-0. An offensive line anchored by Anthony Oliviera at center and John "Jack" Maloney at tackle led a bruising multipronged rushing attack from Tim Jennings, Angel Santiago, and Devante Ramos.

On the defensive side players were making tackles and doing everything they were asked of them the whole game. That defense, led by Matt Costello and featuring Zachary Graden, Tyler Monti, Isiah Offutt smothered North Attleboro all day. The game was decided by one fluke play early on. Unfortunately the D team just couldn't punch it into the endzone. Next week is King Phillip. This week the pieces were together and the kids put on a great display that everyone should be proud of. A well deserved W is surely on its way.

E Silver

E Silver defeated the Sandwich White team by a score of 26 - 0 during Week 4 of the Pop Warner schedule. It was a beautiful "September Morn" when the undefeated (and unscored upon!!) Plymouth Vikings E Silver squad took the lower field at Forges for the 9AM game. That "beautiful morning" soon became "ugly" for Sandwich when Orlando "Magic" Abreau swept to the right of his offensive line and scored a 60 yard touchdown on the first play of the game!!! Sandwich's first attempt on offense did not go so well when Abreau intercepted a pass from his (left) outside linebacker position and, as they say "took it to the house" for 50 yards and 6 more points!!! The "Magic wasn't over" quite yet when (in the 2nd quarter) Abreau took a crossbuck handoff up the right side for 30 yards and another touchdown for a total of 18 points for Orlando Abreau and over 150 yards rushing!!!! "Broadway Joe" Hurley ran a smart game at Quarterback for E Silver and showed some fine footwork on a bootleg play by cutting it upfield for a 15 yard touchdown!!!! Roy "Boxcar Willie" Willis once again ran like a freight train for over 80 plus yards and scored on a conversion. John "Isaac" Hayes had a great day at noseguard and recovered a Sandwich fumble just as they were gaining some momentum on offense. Aiden "Tomato Soup" Campbell was leaving Sandwich's offensive line bloodied and red with embarrassment as he broke through their line for a couple of backfield tackles!!!! Able "Bodied" Schanhals gave a great effort at the safety spot and assisted his linebackers in a few open field tackles!!!! Great job to all the the kids and coaches on E Silver!!!! Hard work at practice results in winning on Sundays!!!!!!

Here are a couple pictures from this one:




E Blue

The 3-0 E-Blue Vikings "boxed it out" with the 3-0 Jr. Boxers from Brockton this weekend with the Vikings coming out with a 26-12 win. Quarterbacks Zack "eat'm up" Eaton and Kyle "bobblehead" Caraher combined for three touchdowns. The E-Blue Vikings team came into the match not letting up a touchdown in their first three games of the year. That would change as the Jr. Boxers scored on thier first offense play. The Brockton offense scored on a nice 60 yard run from scrimmage. The E-Blue team found themselves in a hole quickly 6-0 4 minutes into the game. The E-Blue offense came right back and scored on a tough run from inside the 10 yard line by Jacob "full speed" Burkhead. The Jr. Boxers came right back and scored the next offensive series. With two minutes into the second quarter the E-Blue team found themselves trailing 12-7. On the next offensive series Kyle Caraher found tight end Shane Gibbons wide open in the endzone for a nice 25 yard strike. The Vikings went into half time with a slim 14-12 lead.

In the second half the E-Blue defense slammed the door. Jack Parker began the second half with a nice quarterback sack that set the tone for the remainder of the game. The E-Blue defense was led by Kyle Caraher (two fumble recoveries), linebackers Jake Richards, Josh Whiting, Jacob Burkhead and Zack Eaton. Zack Eaton also had two touchdowns on offense. Jacob Burkhead and Shane Gibbons also scored to help the Vikings improve to 4-0 on the season. Zack Greely, Camden Jennings, Austin Nolan, Max Lyons, Sam DeCoste and Danny Lincoln also had notable games. Next up for the E-Blue team is Attleboro at home this Sunday at 10:30am.

Here are some pictures from this one:





C Blue

C Blue won 26 to 0 to bring their record to 4 and 0. Brandon Green scored on the opening drive and Nick Macfarland kicked the extra pointto bring the lead to 8 nothing. Anthony Schena and Brandon Boutin then combined on a defensive safety to bring the lead to 10 zero at the half. Ed Ramos and Jake Zaniboni then each scored in the second half with Macfarland making both extra points. This is the 4th week in a row that the defense has not allowed any points.

Here are a couple pictures from this one:





B Blue

The B team practiced hard all week and it showed on game day. Both offenses played very tough this week and moved Brockton off the ball all game long. Our white offense which is made up by Trevor Harrington, Joe Durand, Billy Sears, Chris Hardy, Alex Potter, Christian Carr, Chris Lovell, Trevor Devlin, Ariel Casillas, Chris Hall and Brian Farrell drove in two touchdowns. We had four touchdowns for the day with Cory Boudreau and Billy Sears each with two. Our extra point team was able to convert two out of three attempts with a great job by center Dana Burgess holder Pat Hicks and place kicker Cory Boudreau. The defense was outstanding this week. They gave us great field position with two blocked punts with one each by Brendon Mcgowan and Luke Dickerson. Field position was also helped by outstanding special teams lead by Tommy Galanek's kickoffs. Another great game by all the players and coaches. Next week we have Attleboro at home @ 10:30 and we're ready for them!

D Blue

Entering Sunday's contest with Brockton, both teams came into the game 3-0. D Blue won a hard fought battle of undefeating teams by a score of 27-0. To get the scoring started Cullin Cosgrove found Connor Nolan in the end zone with a ten yard pass. Ryan Boudreau ran the ball in for the extra point. Not long later, Walsh was at it again with a 5 yard TD run of his own. Ryan Morrisey ran it in for extra point.
Nick Gill got into the action with a ten yard TD run, followed by a Walsh run for another extra point. Cosgrove closed out the scoring witha 3 yard TD strike to Carter Solis.

The defense posted their second straight shut out against a fast and talented Brockton offense. Justin Cabral set the defensive tone by ended the first half with a crushing hit near center field. With the Brockton runner cutting back to avoid the would be defender, Cabral let him have it to fire up the rest of the team. Next up is Attleboro, and a chance to improve the record to 5-0.

It sure was a little cooler this morning, leaving the house for the bus or for work. Really feels like football weather now. Let's hope it stays cool, but sunny for all the home games this weekend.

We put a new page on the main website today. It is a photo gallery page, where you can check out pictures from the first 3 weeks. They have been gathered from various parents that have sent them in to us. Check it out.

If you have any pictures that you want us to put up on the site, send them in to plymouthvikings@hotmail.com.

Week 3 Results-Updated

Well, week 3 is now in the past, and the Vikings had another very successful weekend. As a program, 7 of the 9 football teams came away with victories, on a rainy, soggy day at our home field. Great job by everyone involved and we will have more game highlights to post as they come in so check back later.

A Blue

Sunday started off with a real soggy rainstorm with the A Blue team being visited by Duxbury. The game started off strong for the Vikings with a pass from Duxbury being picked off by Chucky Phachansiri and returned for the games first 6 points. Unfortunately, Duxbury was able to take advantage of the field conditions and pull off a 14-6 victory by the time it was over. It was a good team effort in tough conditions. Best luck on a speedy recovery to Tyler Gusciora, who injured his knee during the game.

B Blue

Next up was another soggy one between the B Blue Vikings and the team from Mansfield JF. The B team had another tough game with the weather just one of many obstacles they had to overcome. They had several starters unable to play and an injury during the game. The players that were asked to play different positions did a great job. Ken Drew and Trevor Harrington both played several positions on defense and each had big plays. Christian Carr filled in on the offense and had a good game. The only touchdown of the game was by Cory Boudreau. The extra point was a great pass by Thomas Galanek to Cory Boudreau. Our defense did an outstanding job stopping Mansfield's offense and came away with another shutout with the final score Plymouth 7 Mansfield 0. Great job by all the players and coaches!

E Blue

While the B team was brewing their victory on the upper field, the E Blue team started things off on the lower field. The E-Blue team extended its winning streak to 3-0 behind a passing game that was led by QB Kyle Caraher, TE's Shane Gibbons and Zack Eaton. Zack Eaton hauled in a 25 yard touchdown pass from Kyle Caraher. Shane Gibbons caught 3 passes and a pass for an extra point. The running game was again led by Jacob Burkhead who scored on a nice 35 yard run for a touchdown. The potent E-Blue offense scored 3 touchdowns and beat a strong Mansfield JF team 20-0. The E-Blue defense again came up big, shutting out a tough Mansfield offense. The tough E-Blue defense has three consecutive shutouts in the 1st three games of the season. Other outstanding players on defense were Austin Nolan, Cam St. Croix, Jake Richards, Jack Payton, Cam Dow, Will Petrillo and Kam "with a K" Macfarland.



C Blue

With the B Blue team starting a streak, the undefeated C Blue team was next to take the upper field against Mansfield JF. Brandon Green topped off a 10 play 63 yard opening drive with a 9 yard TD run. Ed Ramos rushed for over 100 yards in the game. He had a 38 yard
TD run capping off a 58 yard drive and a 45 yard TD run. Nicholas Marfarland kicked two extra points. On the defensive side of the ball Cody Parks had two interceptions, one he returned for a 42 yard TD. The 28-0 victory brings C Blue's record to 3-0. They face Brockton Sunday at 12:00pm at home.

D Blue

The next team to extend the win steak on the soggy upper field was D Blue, going against Mansfield JF. With a final score of 28-0, touchdowns were scored by Nick Gill, Ryan Morrisey, Colin Nicklas, and Carter Solis. Joey Walsh and Cullin Cosgrove each convereted point after scores, and Carter Solis notched his first safety of the season.

D White

With the streak on the upper field at 3, D White has a tough game at 3pm. The D-White Vikings were victorious with a 12-0 final score against the Hopkinton Raiders. Colby Randall had a long TD run to bring the Vikings to a 6-0 lead. Ben Waithe scored the Vikings other TD with some great blocking by the team, which opened the gap for his run at the end of the second quarter.

The Raiders had several opportunities to score but the defense, led by Colby Randall, Kyle Mann, Miles Crothers, and Michael Crosby, was able to hold them under tricky weather conditions. Great effort by all!



D Silver

After a long day of waiting in the rain, and having to play on a messy field, the D Silver team lost 20-0 to Franklin. Though the score didn't reflect it, it was a really solid effort by the team. The Vikings defense did a great job all game. Blake Cowan had an outstanding game at defensive end, saving more then one touchdown with solid tackling. Devante Ramos had a terrific day with an INT at corner back and some solid running on the ground at tail back. Noah Cully played at noseguard and was extremely effective at the position all day. Next week we have North Attleboro, our defense is where it needs to be. Now its time for our offense to catch up.

E White

The E White team played the Norfolk Vikings on the lower field, and came away with a close 7-0 victory. More details to come.

E Silver

E Silver beat Sandwich (2) in our home opener by a score of 26 - 0. E Silver now has a record of 3 wins and 0 losses and have yet to give up any points on defense. The wet and sloppy field conditions did not hamper E Silver's ground game. Full Back Roy "Willie" Willis had 3 touchdowns on the day. Willis ran for 20, 25 and 45 yard touchdown runs through huge holes on the left side of the line provided by Left Guard Andrew "Monsta" Meyer and Left Tackle Tyler "T Bone" Fleigel.

Elijah "Reckless" Ramos scored an 8 yard touchdown run on a dive play from the wingback position and had a sack for a 12 yard loss from his outside linebacker position. Rafaella "Rockin'" Ramos had a great day at Defensive Safety and Right Defensive End.

Sandwich had no luck running the ball up the middle against the E Silver defense. Their efforts were stymied by the Right Defensive Tackle play of Jimmy "The Hammer" Palmer. Joe "Say It Aint So" Hurley made some great open field tackles as Sandwich tried some left sweep plays.

Orlando "Magic" Abreu through a scare into the crowd when getting injured during a play but was able to get off the field under his own power. He returned to the game after a series of downs.

Here are a couple pictures from the E Silver game. Thanks for sending them in!

Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac hosts fingerprinting event on September 20

With so many children involved in the program, we thought we would pass on this information about a great event being hosted by Tracy Chevrolet.

A missing child is a parent’s worst nightmare. Yet it happens all the time. As parents, you can take all the precautions possible, but in the event it should happen to your child, you need to be able to provide the authorities with as much information as possible. That’s something most parents aren’t prepared and why Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac is hosting fingerprinting event on Saturday, September 20, from 11am to 2pm.

Representatives from Executive Protection International will conduct this free event in Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac’s showroom at 137 Samoset Street in Plymouth. Children’s fingerprints will be taken using a non-toxic fingerprint strip. Parents will receive those extra large prints on a high quality stock paper, which includes space to attach an updated photo, an area for contact info and medical information and a special section for notes.

“If you’re a parent, you can’t hear an AMBER alert on the news or see a picture on the side of milk carton without a chill going down your spine. That’s why having all your child’s pertinent information, including their fingerprints, is critical should your child ever turn up missing,” said Jeff Tracy, president of Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac.

The fingerprint kit also comes with:

● Comprehensive dental chart to record baby and permanent teeth.

● An emergency phone directory to record important phone numbers.

● Re-sealable poly bag to store additional photos and important documents.

● Valuable child safety tips.

● Easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions in English and Spanish

The event will begin promptly at 11 a.m. on Saturday, September 20. While there is no charge to have your child fingerprinted, a limited number of fingerprint kits are available. Your child must be present to receive a kit, first come first served.

“As a Plymouth business, we care about the people and families of Plymouth,” said Tracy. “An event like this may not prevent any child from ever turning up missing, but if it raises awareness and gives parents a sense of security, then it’s well worth it.”

The Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac dealership is located at 137 Samoset Street (Route 44) in Plymouth. Take exit 6 off Route 3 and follow Route 44 west toward Carver. For more information on Executive Protection International, go to http://www.protectmeepi.com.

Week 2 ~ Game Results

Thanks to Hurricane Hanna - the game schedule was a moving target! While the fields were a little soggy on Sunday, the weather (finally) turned in the Vikings favor with some great football being played by all the Plymouth Viking teams this past weekend!

Off to a good start on Sunday with E Blue's win over Norton ~
The E BLUE team started off Sunday at 9:00 a.m. sharp, the first game of the day. They did not disappoint the fans as once again they came out strong. The E BLUE team kept their record going to 2-0 with another shutout by the score of 24-0 against Norton. On the offensive side they had big games from Shane Gibbons with another great catch for a touchdown from Kyle Caraher, as well as the great running of Jacob Burkhead for another touchdown. Kyle Caraher also ran for 2 TD’s on the day. Robbie Gomes, Danny Lincoln and Ryan O’Neill had a great game running the ball also. The defense put the pressure on Norton all game to keep them scoreless with some great tackles . Notables from defense were Zack Greeley, Josh Whiting, Jake Richards and Zack Eaton. The E BLUE defense has only given up one 1st down in 2 games. Great job guys.

E White hits the Road to Norfolk
E WHITE traveled to Norfolk to play on Sunday and were handed a tough loss by the score of 33-13. Nolan Perry had two scores, Jeff Coste ran well one fifty yard run, P.J.Beuttel had three catches for 35 yards. Will Barrett completed six passes one for a touchdown. Defensive stars were Casey Fernandez, Eric Decoste, Aidan Crosby, Kevin Collins, John MacVarish, Kyle Watkins, and Alex Munoz.

E WHITE will at home for their home opener on Sunday 9/14 @ 12:00 p.m. on the lower field.

Another Win for E SILVER ~
E Silver traveled to Norfolk, MA. on Sunday Sept 7th and played a 9AM game. They arrived prior to all the traffic flowing into Foxboro for the Patriot's home opener and came away with a 6-0 win over Norfolk. A great defensive game from teams !!!!

Some brief highlights of our kids: RB Roy Willis broke 2 tackles and ran 40 yards for the only points of the game. Kenny Millbry and Anthony Spinetti had 2 sacks each. Left Defensive Tackle Zach Hoyt and Right Defensive Tackle Ryan Cummings did a great job of keeping Norfolk to the inside. Zach Hoyt had 5 tackles behind the line of scrimmage. Hoyt and Left Defensive Tackle Cam Brenner combined on a sack that resulted in Brenner recovering the football. Tyler Fliegel (Right Offensive Tackle) did an outstanding job of blocking and making holes.

Two In a Row for D BLUE ~
D Blue won vs Norton 19-7. Another tough battle that was won in the fourth quarter. Touch downs were scored by Connor Nolan and two by Ryan Morrisey. Nolan's TD was a ten yard pass reception from Cullin Cosgrove that tied the game at 7. Morrisey's first TD happened early in the fourth quarter after a clutch interception by Colin Nicklas. His second TD put the game away after another turn over by Norton on a forced fumble caused by Nicklas. Other stand outs in the game were Justin Cabral, Brett Cabral, Aaron Corthell, Andrew Dorito, Aaron Corthell and Max Barrows.

D White on a Roll ~
WHAT A GAME!!! It was a great team effort by all players so it's difficult to single out only a few. However, George Thurston had a number of great plays as did Pat Travers and Cullen Johnson. On both sides of the ball, the Viking D-White team had a number of key plays to bring the Vikings to a 20-13 victory in OT against a very strong Norfolk team. Our offense was led by a lot of returning players, however, the group of first-year players dominated by Jake Tamulionis, Cody Gosselin, Kevin Concannon, Tim Barron, Patt Webb, and Dylan Ketterer completed a long drive capped off by a 12-yard TD run to bring the Vikings to a 6-0 lead.
Although Norfolk was able to score twice before half-time, the Viking defense, consisting of Mike Larareo, Patt Markey, Jordan Petrillo, Sam Wallace, Jake Yorks, Collin Moriarty, Matt Cushing, James Ward, Tommy Belcher and Robert Whitman, was able to hold the very strong Norfolk team to a 7 point lead going into the half.
Colby Randall was exceptional not only on defense but also on offense as he was able to score on several ocassions by running through holes opened by Michael Crosby. Cooper Gavin, a first-year QB, helped lead the offense and also had a QB run to tie the score. Ben Waithe also contributed to our successful offense by advancing the ball on several occasions and had great kick-offs. The ever-present Miles Crothers and Kyle Mann dominated the defense with a number of key plays. Additionally, TJ Hagan, Austin Hanlon, and Andrew Shortall had key open-field tackles to help preserve the Vikings win. Overall, the D-White team won as a team, but worthy of mention, Ty Santos caused the fumble in OT to secure the Vikings victory. GREAT EFFORT BY ALL!

Solid Effort for D Silver ~
The D Silver Vikings lost 19-0. The score was deceptive though as it was a solid effort by the team this week. Despite not being able to put it in the endzone, Chris Elliot had a great day at tight end, blocking and getting open for passes. While Joey Vantangoli had a solid day blocking, anchoring the offensive line at Tackle. Defensively Zach Graden made some great tackles at Safety while Angel Santiago was penetrating through the O line at Noseguard all game. Next week we host Franklin and will most definitely bring an improved performance for our first home game of the season.

The Winning Streak Continues for C Blue
C BLUE played a great game offensively and defensively on Sunday against Norton dominating the whole game. They came away with their 2nd win with a score of 30-0.
Playing @ 12:00 p.m. on their home opener in front of all their friends and family was a sight to see. From the beginning of the game they were in control and kept on rolling all the way. They look to extend their streak on Sunday 9/14 at home against Mansfield J.F. @ 12:00 p.m.

B Blue Turns it Around in Week 2
The B team had another tough game this week against a good Norton team.The score was the same as last week 6-0 however this time we came out on top. Our offenses really played well against a tough Norton defenses. Nick Eaton scored the only touchdown of the game. After we drove the ball down the field with both the white and blue offenses playing great. Lukas Dickerson, Cory Boudreau, Pat Hicks, Brendon Mcgowan and Coleman Barnes all played great on both sides of the ball.

Great Effort but a Tough Game for A Blue
A BLUE was dealt their first loss of the season by a score of 14-0 to Norton. They look to improve at home on Sunday against Duxbury in the 9:00a.m. Slot with the hopes and determination to put another win on the board and come out on top

Week 1 Results; Vikings go 8 for 9

Wow, what a great opening week for the Vikings program for 2008! Out of the 9 football teams, 8 came away with wins, while the one team that didn't played a very close and tough battle.

The season started off at 10:30 am on Saturday morning with the E blue team taking care of a scrappy Sandwich E team. With the final score of 24-0, this one was highlighted by Jacob Burkhead scoring 3 rushing TDs and Shane Gibbons hauling in a long bomb from Zachary Eaton off of a great pitch from Kyle Caraher. The defense didn't let up a first down the entire games as the Vikings got off to a great start. Cammie Caraher closed out the contest by intercepting a Sandwich pass and returning it about 25 yards on the final play of the game. Jack Daly had a great day at center to help run a very smooth offense, playing their first game together.

Next up on Saturday at noon, was the E White team. They started off their season on a winning note 7-0 in a tough defensive contest. The Vikings set the tone early with a Nolan Perry touchdown run behind strong blocking from Brendan Morey and Julian Cenac. Defensively the Vikings were led by Perry, Will Barrett, Aidan Crosby, Kyle Watkins, and Will Furtado. With only 5 returning players and injuries leaving the Vikings shorthanded, it was a strong effort by everybody!

The E Silver team was next to take out Sandwich with a 26-0 effort. We will add more details soon.

The B team came down to Sandwich to start off their season under the lights and ended up coming away on the short end of a 6-0 score in a very tough battle. We will add more details soon.

The A team helped finish the first day of the season by taking out their Sandwich rival by a score of 12-0. We will add more details soon.

Sunday morning started off with the C team, once again down in Sandwich with a 10:30 am start. Cody Parks, Brandon Green and Ed Ramos scored rushing touchdowns behind the monster line and effort of Andrew Parker, Nick Fratus, Cory Caraher, Gavin Johnson, Nick Macfarland, Jack Gallagher, and Bobby Dee. Nick Macfarland also booted through a nice extra point to close of the scoring at 20-0. The Vikings hard hitting defense forced three fumbles on the day, which set the tone of thie season opening win.

The D Blue team kept the winning ways going with a close and tough fought 20-18 victory. Touchdowns were scored by Joe Walsh, Cullin Cosgrove and Nick Gill. The difference in the game were the extra points scored by Joe Walsh and Ryan Morrissey. The offensive line lead by Austin Ward, Nick Ariagno, Connor Dow, Spenser Potter, Casey Lynch and many others were big parts to all three scores.

The D White team was the next team to roll to victory by the score of 19-0. Their first play from scrimmage ran for a 35 yd td by Colby Randall who scored twice in this contest. Ben Waithe also scored on a QB keeper. The QBs Cooper Gavin and Ben Waithe did a fantastic job controlling the ball ,they took their games to the next level with some great timing on handoffs and scrambling in the pocket. It was a great game back and forth but D-whites defense was impenetrable, only giving up 1 first down all game. The defense led by Colby Randall, George Thurston and Cullen Johnson had a couple of sacks and 2 fumble recoveries, one by 1st year player Jake Yorks. Other noteables on defense were Ty Santos, Andrew Shortall, Jake Tamulionis, Pat Markey, Collin Moriarty, Sam Wallace and Matt Cushing. The offensive line was led by 2nd yr player Pat Travers with some great help from Austin Hanlon, Kyle Mann, Cody Gosselin, Kevin Concannon, Tom Belcher, James Ward, Miles Crothers, Pat Webb and Mike Crosby. Special wishes to the Sandwich player who had to be taken off the field by ambulance. Hope all is well and a speedy recovery.

Not to be outdone, the D Silver team closed out the winning weekend with a close one, by the score of 13-12. They scored first on their second drive with an awesome pass from QB Brandon Nasiatka to Devante Ramos who scampered 10 yards and put it in the endzone. Tim Jennings got the extra point off a sweep. Sandwich scored in the second quarter with a solid drive down the field, but couldn't convert the PAT. The third quarter had them again driving down the field when a long run of 50+ yards put them with 1st and goal at the 1. The D held them out 3 times before they finally put it in on a broken play on 4th down. Once again, the defense stuffed the PAT attempt, which ended up being huge. With 6 minutes left in the game they got the ball back and ran wide with Tim Jennings and Anthony Roberio all the way down the field before Jennings put in the go ahead touchdown off an off-tackle run. Matt Costello led the defense all day at linebacker making hard tackles and key stops every time we needed them.

Congrats to all the teams for a great showing this weekend. If anyone has any pictures they would like posted, please send an email to the contact info on the site here and we will get them posted. Thanks to the coaches for sending in their game summaries.
