MIDDLEBURY
TIGERS...
MIDDLEBURY
OPENING THE
SEASON ON THE
ROAD AT THE
ESSEX HORNETS,
MAKING FOR A
GREAT FIRST
TEST IN D-1... 1st
q, middlebury
picking up where
they left
off...BOBBY
RITTER, goes into
the light...and
comes out shining
bright...into the end
zone, a 24 yard
touchdown run... 7-0
tigers... Essex
would respond with
a run game of their
own...JOEY
ROBERTSON goes
up the gut, picks up
some big yardage,
and helps set up
JEREMY LECLAIR,
a 27 yard
kick...hornets on the
board... The
ensuing kick off is
fielded by CULLEN
HATHAWAY...who
finds his way down
the right
sideline...87 yard
score...midd up 14-3
... The scores kept
coming, AUSTIN
ROBINSON breaks
through the tacklers,
and turns on the
jets, outlasting
every
defender...gone for
the 58 yard score...
Middlebury up 20-
3... Before the half,
5 yard strike right at
my camera, caught
by SAM HOLMES
27-3 that was just
about enough,
tiggers begin
defense of the title
with a 41-29 win...
THE THREE TIME
DEFENDING
DIVISION 3
CHAMPS,
WOODSTOCK,
HOSTING
POULTNEY IN
THEIR OPENER...
Junior NIK DAVIS
scored the last
points of the 2013
season on a game
winning field goal..
Spins into the
endzone for the first
of 2014.. The Blue
Devils looking for
the answer .. ALEX
WADE tosses a
floater, hauled in by
free safety DANIEL
ROBINSON.. We're
going the other
way.. Into the 2nd
quarter.. NE-HE-
MIAH WOOD
would like to have
that one back..
ZACK
CONSTANTINE
jumps the route and
he's headed 90
yards the other
direction.. WOOD
makes a good effort
to chase him down,
but there's plenty of
real estate for the
Poultney senior..
Missed extra point
makes it 7-6.. Blue
Devils with another
crucial turnover...
That's good for a
Woodstock safety..
THE WASPS PICK
UP WHERE THEY
LEFT OFF FROM
THE LAST THREE
SEASONS.. .. 44-26
THE FINAL..
HARTFORD WAS A
ONE TIME 3 TIME
STATE CHAMP,
THEY WERE AT
HOME WITH MT.
ANTHONY
TONIGHT... Join in
the 2nd half..
BRYCE LANDON
punches it in from
one yard out.. 21-7
Hartford lead.. Back
come the Patriots ..
DAMON YOUNG
hands it off to fellow
senior captain
TYLER MATTISON..
Bounces to the
outside, sees
daylight and falls
into the corner of
the end zone to
bring it within a
score.. Move into
the 4th quarter..
Pass off the helmet
of CARSON
CUSHMAN.. Jump
ball goes the way of
TYLER SEARLES,
he takes it the other
way... Timely
interception for the
Hurricanes because
it sets up this play..
LANDON hands it to
JOHN BIELECKI
who rumbles
forward with under
two minutes to play..
THERE'S YOUR
DAGGER AS
HARTFORD
HOLDS ON FOR
THE 28-20 WIN ON
THEIR HOME
FIELD..
THE BATTLE OF
THE
BURLINGTON'S

VISITING BUCK
HARD FIELD...
south burlington up

more, but not this
time, the 1 handed
pick pocket, great

the pigskin ... That
would bode well for
the seahorses,

4th and goal from 9
yards out, 2 pt
conversion good,
and Seahorses lead
14-7 with 1:41 left in

game is tied 12-12
the half...3rd q,

make something
happen, but

hand off to MARK
EARLE in from just
a few yards out ...
