#RockReport JV vs HSE

The Westfield Junior Varsity football team played their fifth game of the season on Saturday against the Royals from Fishers Indiana of Hamilton Southeastern.  The Rocks were reeling from a royal trouncing on Friday, but it was the JV Rocks that rolled on Saturday and turned the Royals to rubble with a 49-28 victory.

The Rocks JV offense was a well-oiled machine all morning.  The engine that kept that machine rolling were the joint players of the game, Sophomore quarterback Maximus Webster and Junior quarterback Nick Talley.  Both quarterbacks led touchdown drive after touchdown drive against the Royals defense.  The offense was able to function so well because of the consistent play of Sophomore lineman Leroy Dalen Blanding.  The fuel (or juice if you will) for the offense was supplied by sophomore wide receiver Jackson Wassestrom who accounted for multiple explosive plays and three touchdowns on the day.

The JV Rocks defense had a little trouble containing the high powered Royals offense at the beginning of the game, but deciphered the mystery as the game went on and were able to come up with multiple stops and give the ball back to their offense to expand their lead. The Rocks defense was built on the foundation that is sophomore defensive tackle Kyle Widmer.  Widmer was not only a disruptive force in the middle of the defense all game and earned the player of the game award, but he also earned the play of the game award by breaking through the Royals offensive line & tackling the running back on 4th and short to cause a turnover on downs.  The most consistent player of the game was Junior cornerback Kyle Pape.  Pape played the pass effectively all day and was very aggressive against the run.  Another big play for the Rocks came on special teams when Sophomore punter Maguire Graybill boomed the ball out of his own end zone and helped turn the field over for the Rocks defense.

The JV Rocks football team will look to keep their momentum going when they play Brownsburg High School on Saturday September 28st at 10 a.m away at Brownsburg Stadium.
