Division 5 Pee Wees Stage Banner Victory Over Middleboro in Driving Rain

It was a cold and raining night for the Bullets Division 5 Pee Wee’s. Playing at home against Middleboro in a downpour the Bullets came away with a tough 6-0 victory.
      The rain coated football caused issues for both teams throughout the game. The Bullets defense took advantage of the wet ball when Andrew Falacci recovered a fumble (one of 2 he recovered) at the 50 yard line with time running out in the first quarter. This got the offense rolling. Following runs of 12 and 8 yards by Tedaro France, a 22 yard run by Manny Perry, a 7 yard reception by Bryan Hardy and a key 4th down quarterback sneak by Eric Rogorsenski the Bullets where set up with first and goal from the 5 yard line. They took advantage of the first and goal when following a key block from pulling guard Steven Zeglen, France powered the ball into the end zone.

      With the field conditions getting worse as the game went on it was up the defense to take control of the game. It did the job and for the 4th time in 6 games the Red – One defense threw a shutout. Key plays were made across the board. Tackle Andrew Ellis was a factor from sideline to sideline. Linemen Falacci, Tyler Kennedy, Ryan Litchman ends Hardy, Mark Lambert (who also contributed an interception) held fort. Key defense steps were also made by linebackers Jake Kipnes, France, Perry and corner back Colby Blaze.

      The offense did a great job at the end controlling the ball for the last few minutes of the game preserving a physical, hard fought game. Next up is a home game against Hanover on Sunday October 30th with a trip to the playoffs in the balance.
