Week 9 Results-Vikings go 5 for 8 on the day; Playoff info later today!!

So the day started off a little gloomy and wet, but we finished in sunshine after a great day of football. This being the last regular season week, we will post playoff details later on the teams that move on. Now, off to the highlights as submitted by the coaches.

E White

THE E WHITE VIKINGS FINISHED THE SEASON WITH A HARD FOUGHT 6-0 WIN OVER ATTLEBORO ON A SLOPPY FIELD. THE VIKINGS LONE SCORE CAME ON A WILL BARRETT SWEEP IN THE SECOND QUARTER. THIS WAS A DEFENSIVE GAME FROM THE START WITH PLYMOUTH ONLY GIVING UP ONE FIRST DOWN IN THE FIRST HALF, THAT COMING ON A GAME SAVING TACKLE ON THE FIVE YARD LINE BY BARRETT AFTER A LONG RUN. EVERYONE PLAYED WELL ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL. NOLAN PERRY, CASEY FERNANDEZ, BRENDAN MOREY, ALEX MUNOZ, P.J BEUTELL, ERIC DECOSTE, KEVIN COLLINS, KYLE WATKINS, & AIDAN CROSBY HAD STRONG GAMES. I AM PROUD OF EVERY MEMBER OF THIS TEAM! WE STARTED WITH FIVE PLAYERS THAT HAVE EVER PLAYED FOOTBALL BEFORE, THEY LEARNED QUICKLY THAT THIS WAS A CONTACT SPORT, AND FINISHED 6-2 ON THE YEAR. THEY EXCEEDED EVERYONE'S EXPECTATIONS BUT THEIR OWN!GREAT JOB GUYS!!

C Blue

C Blue finished up their regular season on Sunday with a perfect 7 and 0 record. The team beat a very good Attleboro team 34 to 0. Over the course of the year the C Blue offenses put up 200 points of offense. That is 28.5 points a game. Not only did the offense have an amazing year but the defense did something I've never seen done before at the Pop Warner level. With a final shut out against Attleboro the C Blue defense finished the year without letting up a single point. Really a remarkable feat and one the entire team can be proud of.





D White

Once again D-white came up big, Winning 20-6. We had a spectacular game against Attleboro on Sunday October 26th. With the D2 Division Championship on the line, the boys stepped up in fine fashion reigning in the 6-1 Attleboro team. On offense Cooper Gavin went 7-9 on the aerial attack with a key first down reception hauled in by Miles Crothers to keep the Vikings drive alive. Gavin going deep to Mike Crosby, with the extra point conversion by Colby Randall to make the score 7-0. Attleboro came right back and answered two plays later on a third down strike for 6 points and missed the extra point leaving the score 7-6 at the half. Vikings offense went back to basics and pounded the ball for long sustained drives to keep their opponent off the field. With just a few minutes left in the third quarter Ben Waithe grabbed 6 points out of the air for his 10th td of the season and also scored the extra point to make it 14-6. With Gavin at the helm the Vikings offense and Colby Randall seemed to pick the defense apart and scored from 50 yards out on a gutsy run around the end ,by Randall ,with a great block by Crosby. With the score 20-6 the Vikings defense came alive as George Thurston and Austin Hanlon led the way. Thurston made several key stops including a game ending pick off on the 4yd line ,while Hanlon had key pass deflections to kill the Attleboro drives. This has been a great season so far going 8-0, D-Whites coaching staff is very proud of each kid on this team we hope you have had as much fun playing as we have had coaching. D-WHITE COACHES

D Silver

D Silver went into the final game of their season against the undefeated King Phillip D2 team. Though the score may have read 31-0 at the end of the game, its not indicative of the effort these kids showed throughout the game and the season as a whole. On multiple occasions our defense held the KP team to 4th and long with great plays by Logan Adams, Anthony Oliviera, Tim Jennings, Devante Ramos, Anthony Roberio, Josh Shea and Blake Cowan to name a few. but unfortunately the KP team has a couple phenomenal athletes on their team that were just bigger faster and stronger then us and were able to convert many big losses into touchdowns. The highlight of the game certainly was the implementation of the Chaos/Scooby Doo defense, a very formidable formation consisting of no down linemen and apparently the use of jumping jacks as a distraction which worked and forced a 4 and out! On offense, Matty Costello and Isiah Offutt helped out Noah Golden in producing our biggest gains of the day behind the white offensive line of Jared DeOrio, Reilly Whitehouse, Zach Camirand, Tyler Monti, Vincent Strassel, and new tackle Josh Hoyt! The blue offense couldn't get started as early on Brandon Nasiatka went out with a mild concussion. Both offenses showed great heart in going up against a team with that kind of record and talent and giving the hits as much as they taking them. Good job guys, not just sunday, but every day you showed up to practice to become better people and better football players.

Some "voices in the crowd" think its about adding up the stat sheet. Only being concerned about how many carries are given, who gets the ball, who's starting and who's rotating, wins and losses. Those people aren't on this team and I'm glad to see it. I'm very proud to say that the difference between the beginning of the season and the end is astounding, like a completely different team. We'll see all that work payoff in the years to come as you guys all develop and go on to win championships here in Pop Warner and hopefully with my help again as high school athletes ;-)

Thanks everyone for making my first year as a head coach one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Kids don't forget, Tuesday is equipment turn in day for us at 5:30. And our banquet is sunday 4-7!!!!! See everyone there!!! WOO!!!!

E Blue

The Vikings E Blue team played thier last regular season game of 2008 against Attleboro this past Sunday morning. The E-Blue squad was looking to rebound after a tough loss last week against Easton. Now to the highlights:

The E-Blue Viking team welcomed back running back Jacob Burkhead off the PUP injury list. Jacob had a great all around game and scored the games only touchdown as the E-Blue team closed out its record this year with a 7-1 regular season record.

The game began with the Vikings offense getting the ball first. The highpowered offense was again led by quarterbacks Zack Eaton and Kyle Caraher. It was Eaton who got the nod at the start. He marched the E-Blue team all the way down to the Attleboro one yard line on the opening drive. The Attleboro defense stood ground as they held the Vikings on all 4 downs from the one yard line. Both offenses went back and forth until Vikings tailback Jacob Burkhead broke off a 24 yard touchdown run in the 2nd quarter to put the E-Blue team on top to stay 6-0.

This one again was all about defense as the E-Blue team recorded its 6th shutout in eight games. Defensive standouts in this one were the entire E-Blue defensive unit. Austin Nolan, Cam Caraher, Sam Decoste, Zack Eaton, Josh Whiting, Jetti Jake Richards, Jack Payton, Zack Greely, Jacob Burkhead, Kyle Caraher, Jack Parker, Jack Dailey, Cam St. Croix and Shane Hibbons. They all played outstanding in this game and all year long as a defensive "team"

On the offense side of the ball Jeremy "Hollywood" Whiting, Robby Gomes, Ryan O'Niel and Danny Lincoln all had a huge day. Up front on the O-Line was Jack Daly, Ryan Creager, Kam MacFarland, Cam Dow, Will Petrillo, Camden Jennings and Jacob Gates opened up huge holes for the running backs.

On behalf of the coaching staff of the E-Blue Vikings team, I would like to congratulate each and every player as they excelled in every aspect of the game.

D Blue

D BLUE played a tough team from Attleboro on Sunday and came away with an impressive win by the score of 25-0. The touchdowns were scored by Joe Walsh and Ryan Morrissey and the extra point pass was from Cullin Cosgrove to Conor Nolan. Offensively D Blue played a great game and season. The “TEAM DEFENSE” posted its 6th straight shutout helping D Blue improve to an outstanding 8-0 regular season record. Up next for D BLUE will be their 1st playoff game on Saturday Nov 1st.

More updates will be made as the summaries roll in.

Week 8 Results

Well, we had a chilly day at Forges field on Sunday, but it was a great day for football. The Vikings teams went 6 for 9 on the day and off the recaps.

D White

Once again the Vikings D-White team shut out their opponent, Westwood, 33 - 0. The offense scored on a number of running plays with TDs scored by Ty Santos, on a punt blocked by Jordan Petrillo, Colby Randall on a few, Michael Crosby, and Austin Hanlon on a gutsy run with several Westwood defenders trying to pull him down. The defense did well with a great team effort by all. Noted players were Jake Tamulionis, Cody Gosselin, Pat Travers, Michael Larareo, and Collin Moriarity. The last game of the season is at home against Attleboro.

D Silver

D Silver made the trip to Medway this week and played on of the most exciting games you'll see this season, down three key players this week the kids played their hearts out and should be incredibly proud cuz I know I am. The White offense started the game and got some solid yardage, once again improving upon their performance last week. Noah Golden discovered he has a solid weapon in his stiff arm as he used it to carry the ball and get some well earned yardage. He ran and was blocked for by TE Reilly Whitehouse and the rest of the white line. On the blue offense, the Triple Threat running attack was without their FB this week, so little Matt Costello got his first full game at the position taking the ball up the middle all day and causing a ruckus along side TBs Tim Jennings and Devante Ramos, who both had great days piling up the yardage and showing why they are some of the hardest hitting running backs at the D level. The second half started off with good break away run by the Medway team making it 6-0 after failing to get the conversion. We came right back and put it in with a 50 yard scamper up the middle by Jennings. Medway got the ball back and drove it all the way to the 3 yard line but was stuffed after a great goal line stand on 4th and Goal. With the Vikings offense getting the ball back, we unfortunately got a bobbled handoff that was recovered by Medway for their second touchdown making the game 12-6 in their favor. We spent the whole 4th quarter driving down the field eventually leading to a 1st and goal with less then 2 minutes left in the game. The Medway defense proved they were formidable by not letting us in and on a gutsy play caused the turnover on 4th down and sealed the game. Congratulations to Medway in a hard fought victory. And congratulations to the D Silver team. They left it all on the field and were able to leave the field with smiles on their faces cuz that was a fun game to be a part of. One left boys, lets make it memorable.

E White

THE E WHITE TEAM WON IN CONVINCING FASHION 20-0. NOLAN PERRY HAD TWO SCORES AND CASEY FERNANDEZ HAD ONE TOACHDOWN AND A EXTRA POINT. THE VIKINGS TOOK CONTROL OF THIS GAME EARLY WITH A TOUCHDOWN DRIVE ON THIER OPENING POSSESSION. THEY CONTROLED THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE ALL DAY BEHIND BLOCKING FROM JOHN MACVARISH, WILL FURTADO, MICHAEL CAPPOLLA, JEFFEREY COSTE, NOLAN DAVIS, ALEX MUNOZ, & P.J. BEUTTELL. DEFENSIVELY THE BOYS EARNED THIER THIRD SHUTOUT OF THE SEASON BEHIND GOOD PLAY FROM ERIC DECOSTE, KYLE WATKINS, WILL BARRETT, AIDAN CROSBY, KEVIN COLLINS, AND ZACK DAGGETT, EVERYBODY PLAYED HARD IN THIS GAME AND THEY GUARANTEED THEMSELVES A WINNING SEASON.

D Blue

Dblue won 27-0 over Easton

Offense scored four times with great blocking from the line lead by Casey Lynch.

TDS scored by Ryan Boudreau, Nick Gill, Joe Walsh and Danny Soell.
Extra points by Cosgrove, Solis and Nolan.


Defense posted it's fifth straight shut out lead by Joe Walsh.

Dblue will now focus on Attleboro to close out the regular season.

E Blue

This past Sunday the Vikings E-Blue mity-mite team took on a very well coached Easton Wildcats team. As with the Vikings opponent last week, Easton was coming into the contest sporting a 6-0 record. This years E-Blue Vikings squad were also coming into the contest at 6-0. The E-Blue Coaching staff came into this game enjoying an 18 game win streak that dated back to the fall of 2006. In attendance and watching from the Easton sidelines for this one was non other that New England Patriots linebacker Mike Vrabel. As the players and coaches made their way onto the field everyone knew that this game was going to be a good one. Know to the Highlights:

It was a windy, cold chilly Sunday morning as both teams trotted onto the field for the opening kick off. The Vikings had won the coin toss and had elected to receive. As the high powered Viking offense made their way onto the field they could feel that the windy conditions may play a factor in their passing game. On their first offensive series QB Kyle Caraher threw a “bomb” to his tight end Shane Gibbons that went for a 40 yard gain. Two minutes into the game the Vikings found themselves inside the 20 yard line of Easton . On the next offensive series the Wildcats took a bite out of the Vikings offense and made them go 4 and out.

On Easton ’s first series on offense they scored quickly on a nice 45 yard run. They then converted on the extra point and led 7-0. The Viking offense answered right back with some nice offensive play of their own. The offense this week was led by running back by committee with running backs Robby Gomes, Danny Lincoln and Ryan O’Neil all seeing time in the backfield. In the second quarter QB Kyle Caraher called his own number on a QB sweep. Kyle was able to reach pay dirt behind key blocks by Tackle Ryan Creager and TE Shane Gibbons. The E-Blue team then converted the x-tra point and both teams went into half time tied at
7-7.

The second half kickoff was received by the Wildcats. Wildcats return man was able to give his offense great field position as he had a nice run and returned the ball to the Vikings 20 yard line. Two plays later the Wildcats running back put his team up for good 13-7.

Defensive standouts in this one were Kam “with a K” Macfarland, Cam Caraher, Cam St. Croix, Kyle Caraher, Austin Nolan, Josh Whiting, Jake Richards, Jack Daly, Zack Eaton and Zack Greely.

As always, this one was a team effort by all. As the season comes to a close, the coaches want to express what a joy it has been coaching and watching the E-Blue team come together as a “TEAM”

The E-Blue team looks to rebound next week and improve their record on the season to 7-1 as they face Attleborough @ home at Forges Field next Sunday.

C Blue

C BLUE played against Easton on Sunday and came out with a win by the score of 28-0 to improve to 6-0. Brandon Green scored three TD’s and Ed Ramos scored the other to dominate the offensive game. Nick MacFarland kicked the extra points. The C defense came out strong and did not allow any offensive points from Easton making this their 6th shutout of the season. C Blue is going into the last game of the season against Attleboro with a perfect record.

E Silver

Hi Guys and Gals,

E Silver ended it's season at home with a hard fought win against Holliston by a score of 7 to 0. E Silver set the tone for the day when, Noah "You Just Know-a He's Gonna Get the Ball" Schulman showed his quick speed and agility on the first play of the game with a fumble recovery. Our defense held strong with a couple of goal line stops against Holliston. Joey "Needles" Neading was injecting pain from his Right Defensive Tackle position. Jimmy "the Hammer" Palmer saw some action at Offensive Left End and pounded the ball up the middle from the running back position. Our only touchdown was scored by Orlando "the Broom" Abreau on a 5 yard sweep to the right and the conversion point with a sweep left. Many of our kids played well that day but I can't mention them all. I did however, accomplish one goal. Every player on E Silver was recognized (at least once) throughout the season on the Plymouth Vikings blog.

I can't believe that the season is over. August 4th seems like it was yesterday!!! 3 months of hard work, discipline and teamwork paid off for an impressive 6 and 2 season for E Silver. I do believe that we greatly exceeded EVERYONE'S expectations. We started the season with 30 players and ended with 20. A couple of kids moved up due to weight, some never showed up to the first practice and some discovered that football wasn't for them. After the game on Sunday, I saw a couple of players with tears in their eyes. They told me that they "didn't want football to be over." Our kid's now know what it's like to finish something that may be hard and not always fun. They discovered what it's like to be part of something bigger than themselves: a TEAM. What a great lesson for life. Somebody once said, "Nothing in life worth fighting for comes easy." I think that Plymouth now has 20 more people that know what that means.

I would like to thank Dan and Karen Cabral, and the rest of the Pop Warner Board for their time, patience and support. Their work does not start on August 1st and end on November 1st., it goes all year long. We are lucky to have such dedicated citizens in our community.

In closing, I'd like to thank Lisa Spinnetti for being our "team photographer," Colettte Schulman for being our "team Mom" and all the parents. Thanks to assistant coaches Fliegel, Hayes, Neading and Dorman for your caring and supervision. A special thanks to Coach Johnnell Fillippini who was sent to help out a guy who never coached before (me). It was soon apparent that my role would soon change to being that of "General Manager" as opposed to "Head Coach." I learned as much, if not more than the kids did from Coach Johnnell !!!! His attention, intenseness and love of the game of football is why 20 kids finished with a record of 6 wins and 2 losses. Thanks again Coach.

Week 7 Results-Vikings go 6 for 9 on the road this week

Nice job to all those involved this weekend. Not only was the Pop Warner Dinner Dance a fund raising success on Friday night, but we followed it up with some great football. As the details come in, we will update this post. Thanks for checking in.

D White

The D-White Vikings continued their undefeated season shutting down the Sandwich Bulldogs 27-0. The boys continued to rally as a team on both sides of the ball. The Vikings started out offense, with Ben Waithe scoring on a 40-yard TD with a pass from Kyle Mann. The second TD was scored by Michael Crosby with a great pass from Cooper Gavin, and the same connected for the extra point bringing the Vikings to 13-0. Ben Waithe had a spectacular 70-yard TD run, and the extra point was scored by Gavin on a QB sweep bringing the score to 20-0 at the end of the half. The Vikings final TD of the game was scored by Ben Waithe on another great run, with Cooper Gavin tossing the extra point to Miles Crothers. George Thurston had several nice handoffs to help the offense get in scoring position.

The Vikings defense had several fumble recoveries by Colby Randall, George Thurston, and Cooper Gavin. Some notable tackles were made by Robert Whitman, Pat Travers, Cullen Johnson, and Miles Crothers.

Once again, the coaching staff is pleased with the efforts by their whole team. Next week, D-White is facing Westwood at home.

D Silver

D Silver lost to Mansfield 2 6-0. Once again we were carried by our defense, one of the toughest units in any league by far. Joey Vantagoli had a fantastic game at nose tackle, making several tackles in the backfield. Angel Santiago stood out as he moved from his usual defensive line spot to Outside Linebacker and performed excellently. Tyler Monti and Logan Adams stepped up big for the DL as well. On offense we had trouble with starting position, starting several drives on our on 15 or longer.

The highlight of the day was the awakening of the white offense!!! Noah Golden led a gutsy performance from the unit, who's backfield also consists of Isiah Offutt and Josh Hoyt. That backfield had solid blocking by an o line that stepped up featuring Zach Camirand, Chris and Brendan Sullivan.

As a side note, I would just like to acknowledge that I am a young coach and we have a young staff. This is my first year in pop warner, I'm still learning the game and getting used to this setting. Unfortunately the kids bear the brunt of this inexperience. These kids are an amazing group and deserve better than to be 1-5 and I take full responsibility for that. They do everything that's asked of them and thats all that can be expected from them. To the Plymouth Vikings D Silver team, you are all studs and hopefully we as a staff will be able to lead you to wins the last two games of the season.

C Blue

After not having a game for two weeks and having 5 days off during theteams bye week the Plymouth C team had their best week of practice andit showed on Sunday as they defeated Mansfield 33 to 0.

The first 5 minutes of the game was dominated by Brandon Green. After stopping Mansfield, Brandon Green returned the punt 30 yards and then scored onthe next play. On Mansfield next position "Greenie" intercepted a pass and ran it back 55 yards for a touchdown. The running backs and Chad Senechal this week did a very good job of hitting the holes at fullspeed. Ed Ramos had a 35 yard run capped off by a 3 yard touchdown run. Alan Gomes also had a great game running for two touchdowns and over 100 yards. Ryan Small, Jonathan Gomes, Hugh Sims, Anthony Schena and Jake Zaniboni all contributed as well. None of this would have been possible without an amazing job by the offensive line. Parker, Fratus, Caraher,Johnson, Macfarland, Gallagher, and Smith all anchored the offensive line. Gates, Regalado, Jennings, McNeely, Murphy, and Dee all had great games finishing their blocks and opening up holes. Finally, Panepinto, Teddy Murphy, Haley, and Gulsen did a great job driving off the ball and getting to their secondary blocks.

Defense also had a great game with Tom Giorgio intercepting a deflected pass and returning it 10 yards.

D Blue

D Blue beat Mansfield 1 40-0.

TD's were as follows:
Walsh 60yd run. Cosgrove pass to Nolan for point after.
Cosgrove 15yd run. Nicklas Kicked point after.
Gill 5yd run. Cosgrove pass to Walsh for point after.
Cosgrove 45yd TD pass to Morrissey. N/A point after
Nicklas 37yd run. N/A point after.
Lloyd 35yd run. N/A point after.

The whole Team Defense posted it's fourth straight shutout. Interceptions were made by Joe Walsh and Cam Drew.

Next week D Blue will play Easton at home.

B Blue

This week the entire B Team played the best game of the year so far. Practice leading up to this weeks game was intense and the coaches told the players that they all had to give 100% every down. Mansfield won the coin toss and took the ball first. Our defense took a few plays to settle down and get in the zone and then they shutout Mansfield. Both Plymouth offenses owned the field and Mansfield couldn't stop them the entire game. The final score was Plymouth 20 Mansfield 0. Great way to comeback from a loss everybody worked hard to improve and it showed. Two more tough games ahead and we'll be ready for them!

E Silver

E Silver travelled to Westwood to take on a (very good) Westwood (2) team for a Sunday morning game at 9AM. We were soundly defeated by a score of 30 -12. Our offensive line had trouble controlling Westwood's defensive linemen. This puts our team at a recoed of 5 wins and 2 losses.

Our bright spots and points came from some strong running by Roy "Boxcar Willie" Willis and Orlando "Magic" Abreau. Tyler "Hoochie Coochie" Iacabucci danced with Westwood's biggest and best players from the safety and defensive tackle position
while Kenny "Chesney" Milbry rocked the house from his right offensive tackle position.

We hope to finish this season with a win when we take on Holliston (2) at home on Forges Field for a 9AM kickoff!!!

Coach Hurley

E Blue

The E Blue Viking Mitey Mites traveled to Mansfield to take on the Green Hornets. This game was one of those games that the players and coaches had circled on the schedule. Mansfield was coming into the contest posting a 5-0 record and only letting up one score all year. The Vikings were also coming in with a 5-0 record and averaging 25 points per game. This one had all the makings.

Now to the highlights:
It was a sun filled morning as the E Blue team stood at midfield for the opening coin toss. The toss was won by the Vikings and they opted to put their offense out onto the field first. This week the offense was again led by the dynamic duo quarterback tandem of Zack “eat’m up” Eaton and Kyle “bobble head” Caraher. On the first two offensive series both Zack and Kyle would soon find out why the Hornets defense had been so stingy all year.

The high powered Viking offense went 4 and out the first three series. It wouldn’t be until late in the second quarter that the E Blue offense would see Hornet territory. The first quarter was a show of defense, as both teams showcased its defensive skills from one another. Neither offense could get things going as the E Blue offense had a few fumbles to start. After one quarter of football the score was knotted 0-0. Midway through the 2nd quarter the Mansfield offense began to pound the ball on the ground. They marched the ball deep in to Viking territory down to the 10 yd line. On a 3rd and goal, Mansfield’s quarterback dropped back and air’d the ball out to the corner of the end zone. Viking safety Cam “bam bam” Caraher stepped in front of a Mansfield receiver for his second pickoff of the year. Behind some good down field blocking “bam bam” returned the ball back to the Viking 30 yard line. As the crowd sensed the momentum shift, Viking running back Jacob Burkhead and quarterback Zack Eaton went to work. Midway through the 2nd quarter the Viking offense found themselves in Hornet territory. On the next play Eaton dropped back to pass and found Viking receiver/QB Kyle Caraher for a 20 yd strike. Kyle turned and put on the jets as he raced his way into the end zone for a 32 yd TD pass and the games first score. The extra point failed and the Vikings went into halftime with a slim 6-0 lead.

In the second half the two teams again showed off their defenses. The Viking defense was led by Jacob Burkhead and the 3 JACKS. Jack “all day long” Daly, Jack “pick’m apart” Parker and Jack “put pressure on the QB” Payton. Helping out the 3 JACKS were also Josh Whiting, Zack Greely and Cam Dow. Whiting and Greely had a nice “Quarterback Sandwich” as they both got to the quarterback together on the same play. Midway through the 3rd quarter the Viking offense struck again. This time they went to the running game and running back Jacob “full speed” Burkhead. Jacob got the hand off at the Viking 38 yd line and darted to the outside. He then put the afterburners on as he left the Hornet defenders in the dust for the Vikings 2nd TD of the game. After 3 quarters played the E Blue team led 12-0.

The 4th quarter was all defense, as the Vikings E Blue team recorded its 5th shutout and went on to improve its record to 6-0. E Blue will face Easton at home on Sunday

Week 6 - Game Briefs - Vikings go 4 for 8, with 4 teams still undefeated!

A TEAM played a tough undefeated Bellingham team away on Sunday. The A team had a tough physical game and came out on the short end of the game by a score of 38-0. Well wishes go out to the players that were injured in the game. A will play on Sunday against Mansfield.

The B TEAM played there second away game this week at Bellingham. We started out strong and moved the ball well. Our team scored first and then shut down Bellingham for the first half of the game. Unfortunately the second half didn't go our way. We fumbled the ball three times once deep in our own side allowing Bellingham to score. We also lost the ball ending two impressive drives. Final score Bellingham 16 Plymouth 8.The team now will get to work preparing for Mansfield this Sunday.

C BLUE had a bye week and did not play. They will continue their win streak on Sunday against Mansfield and look to improve to 5-0.

D BLUE won 32-0. It was a great Offensive day with 5 Vikings scoring TDS. They were Ryan Boudreau, Joe Walsh, Ryan Morrissey, Cullin Cosgrove and Cameron Drew. Extra point pass was from Cosgrove to Nolan. The Defense was equally impressive with 2 forced fumbles and only giving up one first down all game. D Blue improves their record to 5-0 and will travel to Mansfield on Sunday.

D WHITE was able to move their record to 5 - 0 by securing theirfourth shut-out of the season with their most dominating effort to date onboth sides of the ball. On their first offensive series, Colby Randalldashed for a 40 yard TD, and the extra point was gained by a quick slantpass from Cooper Gavin to Michael Crosby. Ben Waithe scored the Vikingssecond TD on a QB power sweep, and Colby Randall dashed into the end zone ona quick pass from Gavin. The Vikings third TD of the game was scored by BenWaithe on a well-orchestrated trick play to make the score 20 - 0 where itremained for the rest of the game. The Vikings were able to showcase theirup and coming players for the majority of the second half. Jordan Petrillo, Jake Tamulionis, Kevin Concannon, TJ Hagan and Dylan Ketterer were able tocreate some gaps enabling the Vikings to advance the ball. Norton was not able to reach the outside on the Plymouth defense because ofthe efforts of Kyle Mann, Myles Crothers, Michael Crosby and Austin Hanlon, and, therefore, Norton was forced to run inside. George Thurston, CooperGavin, Colby Randall, Ty Santos, and Pat Travers took their turns punishingthe Norton running game. The Vikings had many great defensive plays,however, a few noteworthy were Austin Hanlon's fumble recovery on thekick-off, James Ward's punt block, and Ben Waithe's unbelievable one-handedinterception. As with the offense, on the defensive side of the ball, theVikings spotlighted their hard working up and coming. Great blocks andtackles were made by Robert Whitman, Sam Wallace, Mike Larareo, and CollinMoriarty. D White will travel to Sandwich on Sunday to face the Bulldogs.

D SILVER Vikings lost a heartbreaker to Easton, losing 12-6. The first time the Blue Offense stepped on the field; Devante Ramos broke one to the outside, avoiding a shoestring tackle, but leaving his shoe and scampering 70+ yards for a touchdown. The conversion failed. It was a back and forth defensive battle with no one gaining the upper hand till Easton followed a huge 4th down pass play with a sweep to the outside that put it in to tie it up. The defense held tough and was able to stop the conversion. Entering into overtime, we had 4 chances to put it in and couldn't make it. Easton then went on offense and succeeded, winning the game. It was our best game of the season as everyone performed well enough to win; we just couldn't finish the job. Players that performed well on offense were QB Brandon Nasiatka, WR/TE Chris Elliot and Blake Cowan and Jake Overton. Players on defense that had a great game included Isiah Offutt playing out of position at safety, DE Josh Shea kept the outside safe all day and Jared DeOrio on the defensive rotation at DT. Great job guys, now we get ready for Mansfield 2 and plan on our second win of the season.

The E-BLUE Vikings traveled to Bellingham at 9:00am this past Sunday to take on a very tough Bellingham Falcons team. The Vikings were coming off a long layoff after being rained out last week at home vs. Attleborough. It was well worth the 6:00am wakeup call as the E-Blue team went on to defeat Bellingham 33-0.
It was a cold fall Sunday morning as the E-Blue team stepped onto the Falcon field to clash against the Bellingham mity-mites. Neither the cold nor the layoff seemed to bother the E-Blue team as they improved their record to 5-0 on the season. Now to the highlights
The E-Blue offense came into this game displaying a well balanced aerial attack as well as a punishing ground attack. The offense was led by quarterback Zack Eaton. Zack orchestrated the offense and marched the offense down to the Falcons 32yardline. Zack then called his own number as he executed a quarterback keeper up the left sideline for a 32 yard touchdown run.
The second score came off a 47 yard touchdown run by running back Jacob Burkhead. Burkhead rushed for 130 yards and had 2 rushing touchdowns.
Behind the excellent blocking of Will Petrillo, Jacob Gates and Jack Payton the E-Blue offense took to the air. Zack Eaton rolled out to his right hand found his wide open tight end Shane Gibbons for a 20 yard strike. Gibbons then shook off two open field tackles and scampered 46 yards for a touchdown.
Going into halftime the E-Blue team had a comfortable 21-0 lead.
The second half opening kickoff was received by Vikings return man Zack Greely. Zack followed his blockers all the way to the Falcons 32 yard line. The E-Blue offense then went to the running back tandem of Robbie Gomes and Danny "Cadillac" Lincoln. Both running backs had key first downs on the drive as they worked the ball to inside the Falcons 5 yard line. On the next play Lincoln plunged in the end zone for his first touchdown of the year and the Vikings 4th of the day.
With three minutes left in the fourth quarter the Vikings were faced with a 3 down and 7 yards to go for a first down. The offense realized with a first down the clock would be a factor. Running back Jacob Burkhead then took the handoff and scampered to the corner of the end zone for his second touchdown of the day.
Defensive standouts in this one were Josh Whiting, Cam St. Croix, Jack Daly and Zack Greely. All of them had several tackles as well as a quarterback sack.
Next up for the Vikings will be Mansfield next week at Mansfield

E WHITE team came up on the short end of a high scoring game with Brockton 32-26. The offense set the tone early with a Will Barrett td run behind great blocking from John Macvarish and James Richards. Brockton came right back and scored to set the tone for a high scoring game. Nolan Perry had three touchdowns and an extra point, all three of his touchdowns form 50+ yards out. Without question with his 200+ yards rushing & ten plus tackles, it was one of the best games I have ever seen anybody play! Casey Fernandez continued to be a force rushing for 90 yards and making key blocks. Defensively Kevin Collins, Aidan Crosby, Nolan Davis, Kyle Watkins, Brendan Morey, and Jeffrey Coste came up with big tackles. This was a team effort; they left everything on the field with an outstanding effort! E White will travel to Mansfield on Sunday.

E SILVER
Hi Guys and Gals,

It was nice to be home this past week after getting water-logged and beat up in Norfolk last week. E Silver hosted a good Easton 2 team (Sunday morning) on the the main field at Forges. We eeked out a win against Easton with a score of 13 - 7. This brings E Silver's record to 5 wins and 1 loss !!!!

The weekend started out nice on Friday night with Pop Warner Night at the Plymouth North High School football game. It was impressive to see how many Pop Warner players there are when they are all together. The best part was having the Varsity players "high 5'ing" our little guys. THEY LOVED IT!!! I am truly sorry and apologize to those players (and parents) that did not get into the srimmage at half-time. I thought that we were going to get another series of plays but time ran out. As a first year coach, I have learned a valuable lesson. If we were to have a PNHS half time scrimmage next week, I would ensure that ALL our players get at couple plays on the field.

Once again, Orlando "The Broom" Abreau knows how to clean house and swept his way to 2 touchdowns on the day. One in the 2nd quarter for 12 yards and the touchdown and another in the 4th quarter for 30 yards and 6 more points. Joe "Just Got Back From Cocomo" Hurley connected with a nice pass to Zach "On the Attack" Hoyt for the conversion point. Ryan "Kickin'" Kelly showed off his soccer abilities with a great kickoff for E Silver. Dominic "Atlas" Antonellis did a great job at Offensive Guard. Apparently, the referees must have been blind to the "blatant holding" of the Easton player. Antonellis needed to use the strength of Charles Atlas to keep him in check. Team Ramos had a great day. Elijah "I'll HIt You So Hard You'll Be Comatose" Ramos had an outstanding day on defense with several backfield and openfield tacles, keeping Easton struggling for points. His sister, Rafaella's "I Can Hang With The Fellas" play at Safety help stop Easton's best run of the day.

This weekend E Silver will travel to Westwood High School for a Sunday morning game at 9AM for our 7th game of the season. Have a great week !!!!

Coach Hurley

What A Day For Cheerleading ~ Oct 4th Cheer Exhibition!











Plymouth Viking C, D & E squads traveled to Sandwich High School on Saturday, October 4th for their annual cheer exhibition. Other teams that participated were; Sandwich, Carver, Bourne, Falmouth, & Lower Cape. Plymouth came out in full force with all squads and plenty of fans. It was a great day all around and the kids had a fantastic time. The cheerleaders have been practicing since August 4th and all their hard work paid off today with great skills, adorable routines and, most important, those giant smiles! What a day for cheerleading!





The squads were led by: C – Cindy Gagnon, D BLUE – Heidi Hogan, D WHITE – Kelly Cohen, E BLUE – Merri Emery and Jen Whiting, and E WHITE Lisa Molisse. All the coaching staffs, including the Jr. Coaches should be proud of the way their teams executed the routines and represented Plymouth Vikings.





The "chatter" in the stands from the parents was one of compliments to the Plymouth performances and certainly pride of how well our town and the Plymouth Vikings were represented today!
