Offensively, the Shamrocks failed to capitalize on several key chances, but otherwise did a great job of gaining yardage and putting itself in a position to succeed. Elvin Caldwell pounded out those yards on the ground behind the consistent play of Renzo Alvarez. The big play of the night was a 54 yard touchdown pass from Ryan Pepiot to Joe Krambeer.
The Rock Defense struggled early but buckled down late, giving the team a chance to win. Matt Crupi led the way, while the consistent play of Martell Fletcher helped to anchor a defense that saw almost 50 plays in the first half alone. Crupi came up big with an interception halfway through the second quarter that gave momentum going into the half.
Shamrock Special Teams had a rocky night as well,
some moments of brilliance and others with missed opportunities. Nick Henderson had a great game as a returner and Will McCool added consistent special teams play. Henderson provided the highlight of the night with a zig-zagging punt return that set up the offense on the 17 yard line.
Special mention should be given to Brian Skelton, Nolan Rodgers, and David Mendoza. These Rocks made significant contributions in preparing the team for the Friday contest. They really played united during the week, providing the best possible look for their fellow teammates.
Choose to be Great and support Rocks Football next Friday, when Westfield will host the Zionsville Eagles at Red Stanley Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00pm.
