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.

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!!!

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
