The Westfield Junior Varsity football team put together a tour de force win against the Zionsville Eagles in a 28-23 victory. The score does not do justice, the degree of dominance the Rocks had over the Eagles.
The Rocks JV offense started with a great drive, but stumbled at the one yard line and turned the ball over on downs. The Rocks dominating defense stepped onto the field and was un-phased by the change in momentum and quickly shut down the Zionsville team and returned the ball to the Rocks offense who with great deft scored on the next drive. Sophomore Quarterback Andy Sweet ran the ball in for the rocks first score. Freshman running back Koby Hauser ran roughshod behind an offensive line lead by sophomore offensive tackle Chad “Mauler” Reeh. Sophomore wide receiver and future member of the Westfield track team Evan Manley caught a deep pass from Sweet giving the Rocks even more momentum. Manley ran his fastest but was caught at the 1 yard line. This effort set up Hauser who scored the second touchdown for the Rocks in the second quarter. Sweet scored the third touchdown of the first half giving the rocks a huge lead going into halftime. Freshman running back Nat Froelich scored the Rocks last touchdown of the morning on a very hard-nosed run, breaking many tackles and ankles along the way.
The Rocks Football JV defense also had an outstanding morning of demoralizing the opponent by imposing their will. The Zionsville offense was held scoreless throughout three quarters of play, led by the extraordinary effort of sophomores; linebacker Jackson Garrett, defensive lineman Liam Jagow and Brian Skelton, and corner back Chris Zolto. The defense took the field with outstanding aplomb and showed outstanding skills at their craft. The highlights of the game came when Garrett tipped a pass by the Zionsville quarterback and junior defensive end Dalton Davis taught the pass and returned it to set up an offensive score. Sophomore corner back Ryan Pawlak also contributed with a late interception stopping any momentum the Eagles might have had. The Defense only allowed 14 of the 23 points on the night. Seven points were scored by the Eagles in the second quarter on their Kick-off return team after the Rocks third score. The last two points were scored by sophomore wide receiver Davion Gibson, who scampered for 40 yards backwards in order to run out the clock and ensure the Rocks victory.
The Junior Varsity Football team hopes to continue their streak this Saturday, September 13th at home against the Noblesville Millers.
