D5
Mites Steamroll Middleboro
MIDDLEBORO, MA – In a complete
180-degree turnaround from weeks past, the Silver Bullets D5 Mites
played a nearly-flawless game and steamrolled host Middleboro, 22-6,
last Saturday afternoon.
Quarterback and defensive tackle
Andrew Falacci was a veritable one-man show collecting a two-point
PAT run and three consecutive quarterback sacks, while running back
Manny Perry ran for 135 yards (200 all-purpose yards) and three
touchdowns.
Perry, who ran for a 60-yard touchdown on the first play of the
game, also collected a beautiful 65-yard touchdown return run on
the opening kick-off of the second half. The D5 offensive line allowed
the Barnstable
running game a total of 192 yards rushing on the day.
The true defensive star of the game,
though, was linebacker Bryan Hardy who collected seven tackles on
the day, including two sacks and one fumble recovery in the fourth
quarter. Deep in Middleboro territory, Hardy switched to the noseguard
position, charged in and snatched the ball right out of the quarterback’s
hands.
Other outstanding defensive efforts
were turned in by defensive end Mark Lambert, middle linebacker
Matt Lambert, outside linebacker Marcus Cunningham, noseguard Justes
Chafee, cornerback Scotty Warren and free safety Robby Stuart. Cornerback
Timmy Roderiques, noseguard Taryn Tinti, cornerbacks John Hardy
and Darien Kaski, defensive end Conor Walsh and tackles Elijah Daniels
and Jack Newton also played well.
The offensive line of Hayden Murphy,
Mike Dombrowski, Walsh, Steven Zeglen, Scotty Girvan, Michael Joyce
and Scotty Warren played phenomenally well.
Running back Darryl Frye played exceptionally well, gaining 20 yards
on five carries. Other backs who handed in solid performances included
Kevin Huska, Hardy, Danny Johnson, Eric Rogorzinski, Colby Blaze
and Max Lambert. Quarterback Matthew Tracy also stepped his performance
up considerably, making numerous, flawless handoffs throughout the
game.
The Silver Bullets clinched a playoff
berth with the victory and now stand at 2-4 on the season with two
games remaining in the regular season.
