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.
