JUNIOR DIVISION:
Junior Green: Junior Green was only able to get seven plays off in the first half this week – good news is three of them were extra point attempts after an incredible running display from Distasio with scoring romps of 75, 63, and 80 yards. Zergebiel and Nelson accounted for the two successful PATs with the third falling short. Branford was able to control the ball most of the game with short gains but the Green D held when it counted. Estevan Gutierrez, back from three weeks on injured reserve, and Carson Sperry worked to shut down the outside running game and Zack Soffer helped stop the long ball. Serra and Zergebiel did their usual job punishing anyone trying to run up the middle and Matt Brewer teamed up with Sperry to add to his tally of Sacks this year. Tyler Nelson executed through the air and on the ground connecting with Gutierrez for 21 yards and a punching in an 8 yard keeper for the fourth Green TD. Joey Nault capped the TD with a perfectly run reverse for the PAT. The O-Line played tough all day and Duke Knapp proved once again what a threat he can be from the backfield scoring the final Green TD from 28 yards out with a hard run up the gut breaking tackles all the way.
