HALFWAY POINT
OF THE HIGH
SCHOOL
FOOTBALL
SEASON IN
VERMONT.. FOR
NOW, ONE THING
IS CLEAR, THE
MIDDLEBURY
TIGERS ARE ONCE
AGAIN THE TEAM
TO BEAT IN
DIVISION ONE..
THROUGH FOUR
GAMES, THE
DEFENDING
CHAMPS ARE
OUTSCORING
THEIR
OPPONENTS BY
AN AVERAGE OF
22 POINTS A
GAME...
THIS AFTERNOON
ON A BEAUTIFUL
FALL DAY, THEY
WERE HOPING TO
MAKE THE C-V-U
REDHAWKS THEIR
NEXT VICTIM...
First drive for the
Tigers, AUSTIN
ROBINSON pitches
it to BOBBY
RITTER on the read
option... He tiptoes
down the sideline for
the first points of the
game..
ROBINSON doing
work on both ends
of the field.. he 's
wearing his pumps
and leaps up for the
athletic interception
.. That stalls the
drive..
Shortly after, you
guessed it, more
from ROBINSON..
He lets one fly down
the near sidelines,
drops it perfectly
into the bread
basket of RITTER ...
And number 3 is off
and running.. 60
plus yards for the
strike.. Top 5 play
nominee.. 14-0..
And if ROBINSON
hasn't impressed
you yet, he saved
some of his best on
the next drive..
Redhawks in the
redzone, not
anymore..
ROBINSON takes it
98 yards for the
interception... THE
TIGERS ROUT THE
RED HAWKS 48 TO
21 TO STAY
UNDEFEATED...
THE DEFENDING
D-2 CHAMPS OF
RICE HOSTING
NORTH COUNTRY
THIS
AFTERNOON..
The second team
got plenty of action
for the Green
Knights, as they
were leading 28-0
after the 1st
quarter.. CAMERON
COUSINO bounces
to the outside, falls
into the end zone,
extending the lead
to 48 points...
Later in the 2nd
quarter.. HUNTER
STANLEY has some
miscommunication
with his back,
CHRISTIAN PEREZ
RECKZEIGEL falls
on it...
The Green Knights
would scale back on
offense, but their
defense provided
plenty of punch.. Big
hit by NICK DE-
SPIRITO .. RICE
WINS BIG 48 TO 7
ON THEIR HOME
FIELD..
ACROSS THE
LAKE, SECTION
SEVEN MATCHUP
AT THE HORNETS
NEST..
PLATTSBURGH
AND AUSABLE
VALLEY..
This one would turn
into a barnburner ..
WILLIAM COATS
opens the 4th qtr
with a one yard
push into the end
zone.. that helped
the Patriots to a
21-7 lead..
Back come the
Hornets.. D'ANDRE
LEMIEUX hands it
off to LOGAN
HARVEY, who puts
on his cape for the
superman dive into
the end zone.. we
have ourselves a
one score ball
game..
Patriots on 3rd
down, trying to keep
the drive alive, but
COATS is picked off
QURAN CARROLL..
Great hands by
number 33, and the
Hornets have the
ball in their hands to
tie the game ..
However, deep in
the red zone, that
ball fell out of their
hands.. LEMIEUX
fumbles the snap
and the Patriots fall
on the football..
THAT'S HOW THIS
ONE WOULD END..
PATRIOTS
SURVIVE 21 TO
14..
