The Westfield Junior Varsity football team started the season in impressive fashion with a 49-0 victory over Harrison High School on Saturday.
All phases of the game were performing at an optimum level. The offense started out with a quick touchdown drive, topped off with a short touchdown run by sophomore QB Andy Sweet. The offense scored 5 more touchdowns throughout the morning, three passes from Sweet to three different sophomore receivers; Evan Manley, Davion Gibson, and Nolan Rogers. Jared Bayha and Koby Hauser added to that total with hard fought touchdown runs.
The defense caused havoc in the Raider backfield all day. The highlight of the morning came when defensive tackle Austin “Tiny” Dollens tipped a pass by the Harrison QB and defensive end Brian Skelton intercepted the pass and ran it back 30 yards for a touchdown. Linebacker Zach Paterson caused another fumble later in the game and Safety Christan McCarron recovered, leading to an offensive score.
Special teams played a pivotal role in creating scoring opportunities for the offense as well. The Raiders first offensive possession ended with a punt, but Jared Bayha blocked the kick and set up the offense which scored two plays later. Kicker Will Harrison had a great day of kick offs and made every extra point attempt. Mitchell Aldrink flew around and made numerous tackles on special teams giving Harrison a long field to traverse to try to score.
The Junior Varsity football team will try to continue its winning ways next Saturday 8/30/14 at 10 am at Southport High School.
