#RockReport JV @ Brebeuf

The Westfield Junior Varsity football team had its final game of the season vs the Braves of Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory High School. The JV Rocks were looking to overcome a season record of 1-4 earlier this year and bring that mark up to 5-4 with a victory vs the Braves. The were successful, winning 31-13.

The JV Rocks offense overcame a few miscues earlier in the game and ended up with a dominant 31 point performance. Junior quarterback Cameron Nance rushed for two scores and provided clutch plays for the Rocks running for first downs and hooking up with junior wide receiver Tyler Canada for a crucial first down in the second half.  Sophomore running back Owen McGraw also delivered a huge play at the start of the second half with a big run of 45 yards for the touchdown on the first play of the half to blow the game wide open. McGraw also had two touchdowns on the ground for the day.  The offensive line performed admirably on their final game of the season anchored by sophomore center Justin Case who had himself a hammer award for his physical play on the day.  Sophomores Aaron Hackleman and Drew Johnson as well as juniors Edvin Cortez and Michael Delaney were solid upfront all day for the Rocks offense.

The JV Rocks defense was smothering all day vs an overmatched Brebeuf team. The defensive line was especially dominant lead by junior defensive tackle and antique tractor enthusiast Eli Ross.  Junior defensive back Seth Tackett came up with two huge interceptions stopping promising Brebeuf drives.  Sophomore safeties Gerald George and Eric Kriskovich also provided solid coverage and run support for the Rocks defense.

On special teams McGraw came up with a huge punt block to give the Rocks offense great field position and sophomore kicker Alex Bales nailed two field goals in the first half including a huge kick at the end of the first half to give the Rocks a 12-7 lead.

The JV Rocks football team has concluded their season and would like to thank all of the fans and parents who came out to support us this year.
