Current Update
24 Aug
2009
The predicted rains never came. Sunday was crystal
clear as Opening Day
2009 went off without a hitch. The Ram fans were ready, but Susquenita also
brought a multitude of enthusiastic fans. A stage was set for a great day of
youth football.
To start the day, the Smurfs looked organized and well-prepared for the season
opener. They scored their first TD on a flare out pass from A. LaPorta to V.
Bartow. Yes, folks, our Smurfs have a passing attack.
Our Peewees were handed an immediate injury to starting QB Quinn Buffington who was injured on the
second play, and did not return. The squad found themselves locked in a 0-0 tie until late in
3rd quarter. Finally QB D. Pentz, was able to follow fullback CJ LaPorta
through an opening, where he scampered down the visitor's sideline to give the
Rams 6 points! The Peewees went on to win 7-0.
The Pony team started right where they left off in
2008 with another win. They started from the opening kick-off, which went the distance
only to be called back. But that was the last bright spot for the Blackhawks,
and the Ponys rolled up 48 points in a solid showing for week one. Solid running
from B. Williams, K. Glenn and S. Dominick was complimented by tough defensive
play by M. Hergenroeder.
The Midgets also looked like a well-oiled machine as they
took on a determined Susquenita team. At the end of the 1st quarter, the
Rams were up 48 points, and the starters took a rest. When the dust
cleared, the final score read 56 - 0. Noteworthy was D. Richmond who scored TDs
on an interception return and kick-off return.
This week, the Rams travel to CV to face the Eagles at Stoney
Ridge Park, 50 Bernheisel Bridge Road, Carlisle, PA 17013.
