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
