We've been busy preparing for the upcoming playoff opener at McCutcheon, but wanted to post a wrap up covering the last two games of the fantastic JV season. So, you get two-for-one today...
The Junior Varsity Westfield High School football team finished their season with two huge victories over Fishers High School and Brebeuf Jesuit High School. The Rocks JV team finished the season with an 8-1 record and champions of the HCC.
The Rocks pulled off a must win against Fishers JV team for a one loss HCC season. The offense for the Rocks had many big plays on the day. Sophomore quarterback Andy Sweet ran the ball well for two touchdowns behind the lead blocks of sophomore offensive linemen Gannon Asher and Chad Reeh. The highlight of the day came during the second quarter when sophomore quarterback/running back Caleb Sanburn engineered a drive during a tied game. On 4th and one at the 50-yard line, the Rocks offensive coordinator Blair Schlicker made a gutsy call, a reverse to sophomore Drew Neustifter for a touchdown.
The Rocks defense had a great day against a very good Fishers offensive unit. The defense made four outstanding plays on the day that gave the Rocks the win. The first was a three and out that turned into a blocked punt by sophomore linebacker Hank Grenda which set up an offensive score. The second big play came on a blocked extra point by sophomore linebacker Jackson Garrett. The next big play came after another special teams play, a fumbled snap on a punt that backed up the Rocks defense deep in Rocks territory. The defense stepped up big and forced a 4th down turnover on downs to keep the Rocks in the lead. The third came during a 2-point attempt by Fishers, when sophomore linebacker Justin Frey blitzed off the edge and sacked the quarterback keeping the game at an ultimately insurmountable 9-point lead for the Rocks.
The JV Rocks finished their season with a dominating performance over an outmatched Brebeuf JV team. The Rocks won 33-0 and had many outstanding performances. The Rocks special teams stepped up big when sophomore linebacker Hank Grenda blocked a punt and scooped and scored early in the game. The defense dominated the day with sophomore lineman Liam Jagow, Brian Skelton, and Matthew Tongate harassing the Brebeuf quarterback all day long and leaving little for the other members of the defense to do throughout the day. Sophomore quarterback Andy Sweet threw for a touchdown and ran for two more and anchored the offense. The cherry on top of the sundae that was the 2014 JV season came when sophomore running back Ruslan Siadovich Abamislimov scampered around the left end, juked the defender zeroing in on him out of his shoes, and darted into the end zone with a 20-yard sprint, all to the chants of “The Rus is Loose” coming from the sideline.
Great job, JV Rocks!
