#RockReport - JV and Freshmen

JV

The Junior Varsity Westfield Football team traveled to Lafayette on Saturday 10/05/13 and played a hard fought game versus the Maverick Bulls of McCutcheon High School. The JV Rocks Football team was victorious with a score of 28-0.

The JV offense started fast with a two-play drive culminating in a 60 yard touchdown pass from Sophomore Ryan Pepiot to fellow Sophomore Will McCool. A series of penalties on ensuing drives resulted in this being the only score for the Rocks offense in the first half. The second half was mistake free football. Because of this focus, the offense was able to score on long drives both resulting in touchdown runs by Ryan Pepiot. Jordan Long and Alex Salinas (a.k.a. El Guapo) set the tone for the offensive line blocking well and leading to those touchdowns in the second half.

The JV football defense played an outstanding game. Russel Reynolds and Jacob Pence shored up the middle of the Rocks JV defensive line making many plays in the McCutcheon Backfield. The Rocks Defense did not allow the Mavericks in the red zone once during the game, forcing their offense to punt or turn the ball over. One turnover came late in the game from “Lockdown” Luke Lammers. The Mavericks Quarterback threw a pass towards his sideline; Luke broke on the ball, intercepted it, and broke tackles and made people miss as he returned the interception 50 yards for the final Shamrock touchdown.

The Rocks JV Football Team will play next at Noblesville on Saturday October 12th at 10:00 am.
