Flag
Flag - Lime Green (Collings)
We had two games this week! On Tuesday we faced off against Burnt Orange. Vincent Sanders played a great game with a touchdown from Jake Daniels, an interception, and fast flag pulls. Liam Kessell got our team into scoring territory with a huge run. Jacob Sittman earned the game ball by having the most flag pulls!
On Saturday we faced off against Silver. Vincent Sanders and Jake Daniels continued their chemistry with a big touchdown. Jacob Sittman had big stops including a big one for lost yardage. Jake Daniels had big interception to prevent an extra point. Liam Kessell scored another one of our touchdowns and Jackson McNerney had a nice stop. The game ball went to Dougie Martin for coming back into the game after he took a big physical hit and needed helped off the field.
Flag - Burnt Orange (Joniak)
Burnt Orange faced off against Team Black for a thrilling back and forth nail biter! In the end, it ended as a tie but both teams had excellent runs and tackles. Burnt Oranges Jacob Haag had himself quite the game with 2 touchdown and 5 tackles. Jake Joniak had 2 quarterback sacks & made a 2-point extra point completion pass to Jackson Miller, who also had some key tackles. Carmen Geanto got our other touchdown, running it all the way from the 40 yard line! Very proud of our little guys who hold down the front line with good blocks and rushes!
Flag - Black (Kitlinski)
Team black was on fire! Antonino Calo made huge defensive plays throughout the game and didnβt let a flag pass him by. Antonino and Calvin Szpejnowski went the distance to advance the ball down the field on multiple occasions. Touchdowns were had by Max Briones (x1) and Micah Kitlinski (x2). Danny Saiger sealed the deal with awesome 2pt conversion throws to Kellan Lindquist and Max for the victory. Team work at its finest, black Panthers! Great game!
Flag - Royal (Niehoff)
Flag Royal played Flag Black Wednesday night where they had a great performance on both sides of the ball. All the players were able to get involved with big runs by Niehoff, Keeton, Goebbert and Albright on offense with touchdowns by Vicari, Sorgente and Holm. Sienkiewicz has two interceptions for TDs. It was a great team victory. I'm proud of the boys!! Go Flag Royal!
Flag - Silver (Jerger)
