#RockReport State Final

Last night, 119 Rocks, led by 40 seniors, took the field at Lucas Oil Stadium, ate, and returned as Champions. Your Rocks captured the school's first ever football State Title on the back of a gritty, physical performance against an equally solid opponent in the Columbus East Olympians. 16-13 was the final score in a game that came down to the wire.

The Shamrock offense produced big first downs when the team needed them, also punching in the lone Rock TD of the night. They protected the ball and set up the special teams for 3 crucial field goals. In the end, it was fitting that this group should be given the ball one last time, kneeling it three times to seal the victory.

This year's Rock D will go down as perhaps the best in school history, allowing just over 14 points per game and holding a potent Olympian offense to only 13 points. They slammed the door in the second half, shutting out their opponent and coming up with huge stops when called upon. No stop was bigger, perhaps, than when East was threatening the goal line near the end of the game, coming as close as the 1 yard line, only to be denied after four downs.

Shamrock Special Teams played the high scorers of the night, generating 9 points and executing perfectly when on the field. They maintained the field position advantage, drilled field goals, and kept all Olympian return efforts contained. Special recognition should be given to Will Harrison's State Finals record 52-yard field goal that was the first of the Rocks' points.

There is so much to find impressive in this group of young men. From the 40 seniors displaying selflessness on a daily basis, finding and embracing productive roles on a team in which a majority of them could not find regular playing time due to their sheer number, to the younger players who thrived beneath the leadership and offered excellent scout team preparation down the tournament stretch. This team was built upon the foundation of "Heart" and "Family," and it used those principles, attacking every day, in order to earn success on the biggest of high school stages.

We have a lot to be grateful for today. Grateful for the opportunity and support within our fantastic community. Grateful for the fans and parents that provide the fertile soil in which the seeds of success are grown. Grateful for the managers and support staff that work tirelessly behind the scenes nourishing and caring for those seeds. Grateful for the 119 young men who put in 339 days of intense effort growing the seeds. But most of all, grateful for the 40 seniors who, finally, were able to taste the fruits of their hard-earned labor.

Congratulations to the 2016 Class 5A State Champion Westfield Shamrocks. We, the coaches, hope that this has been one of the most amazing experiences of your lives, and feel truly blessed to have been given the opportunity to help you reach your full potential as a football family. What a great day to be a Shamrock!

#GameDay State Finals

Tonight, your Rocks will head to Lucas Oil Stadium for the IHSAA class 5A State Final, where they will face the Columbus East Olympians. The Olympians come in 13-1, representing the south, and having defeated New Pal, Martinsville, Whiteland, Zionsville,and Bloomington South to get here. Their closest game was against Zionsville, which they won by 7 points. Westfield defeated that same Eagles team early in the season by 40. Westfield and Columbus East have only faced each other one time, in 1972 during the regular season. The Shamrocks won that contest, 33-0.

The Olympians come in averaging an impressive 47 points per game on 446 yards (350 rushing). They are led by RB Jamon Hogan (#23), who averages 162 rushing yards per game. QB Josh Major (#2) doesn't throw much, but when he does, it often gains large chunks of yardage or a touchdown. The touchdown tally is split pretty evenly between the two starting wide receivers, Caleb Voelker (#10) and Cam Wilson (#18), with 4 and 3 respectively.

As has been the case in the latter half of this tournament, the Rock D will need to stop a potent running game, while staying awake on the back end to prevent the play-action pass. Look for a grind it out, nail-biter, type of game, similar to what we witnessed last week against Fort Wanye Snider. Unlike that game, though, the weather will not be a factor as there are always perfect football conditions in Lucas Oil Stadium. Look for the Shamrocks to bring their physical play to the biggest of stages, hoping to earn the school's first football state title.

Trust me, you don't want to miss this one. If you can't make it in person, check out the stream on IHSAAtv.org. Otherwise, we'll see you downtown! Kickoff is scheduled for 7:05pm.

#RockReport - Semi-State vs Fort Wayne Snider

Photo credit: Kirk Green - VarsityViews 
On Friday night, your Rocks punched their ticket to Lucas Oil Stadium and the State Championship for class 5A. Westfield earned a 23-17 victory against the top ranked Fort Wayne Snider Panthers, winning a rain-soaked nail-biter that displayed hard-nosed football from both teams.

On offense, the Shamrocks were led by Andy Sweet, who led the team and took care of the football in terrible conditions. Chad Reeh and Matthew Robinson added consistent play on the line, while the big play of the night came when Sweet hit Evan Manley down the sideline shortly before half time.

The Rock D rose to the challenge and, after a shaky start, held a potent Panther offense to only 7 points in the second half, sealing the game with big stops in the closing minutes. They were led by Collin Caldwell's fantastic play, as well as the consistent play of Jackson Garrett. The D recovered a big fumble in the second half, forced by Caldwell and scooped by Garrett.

The real start of the night, however, was the Shamrock Special Teams. On a night when the other phases were pretty neck and neck with the opponent, special teams really came through and shined. Will Harrison had a stellar game, booting both a 53 yard field goal and a key 58 yard punt into the wind. Jackson Garrett also contributed here with solid holds for the kicker, and a blocked punt.

Special mention should be given to Michael Delaney, Matt Meyer, Tanner Nichols, and Matthew Noyes. These Rocks made significant contributions in preparing the team for the Friday contest. They attacked each day during the week, providing the best possible look for their fellow teammates.

The Shamrocks will return to the field one final time on Saturday, this time playing in Lucas Oil for the State Championship. They will face the Columbus East Olympians. Kickoff will follow the preceding game, and is tentatively scheduled for 7:05pm.

#GameDay Semi-State vs Snider

Tonight, your Rocks will host the Fort Wayne Snider Panthers in a Semi-State contest that promises to be a clash of titans. Both teams have dominated their brackets in the tournament so far, and are hoping to secure a berth to the State Title game with a win tonight. Snider comes into the contest with spotless 12-0 record, having demolished Mishawaka, Goshen, and Concord so far in the tournament.

Snider averages 42 points per game on 397 yards (292 rushing). They are led by RB Money Woods (#3), who averages 108 yards per game and has found the end zone 15 times. Junior QB Michael Haupert (#10) helms the offense, hooking up often with WR Mac Hippenhammer (#2) for 608 yards and 7 touchdowns through the air.

The Rock D will have their work cut out for them tonight, attempting to limit one of the best offenses in the state. Hippenhammer is a special athlete, and the Snider run game parallels the Rocks own in terms of potency. On offense, the Shamrocks will need to protect the ball and take care of business. Expect a bruising chess match of a game tonight, where each team looks to check the other team's myriad of weapons, limit mistakes, and pound their way to victory.

Obviously, with a trip to state on the line, we need to pack Riverview Health Stadium tonight. It's looking like the nice weather will turn on us, so dress warm, and bring your outdoor voices. It's time to rock the Rock. No directions needed for this one. Kickoff has been pushed back slightly due to travel time, and is scheduled for 7:30pm.

What a great day to be a Shamrock!

Last night, your Rocks captured the Regional Championship by defeating Kokomo 45-7. The win sets up a pivotal contest against Fort Wayne Snider next Friday for the Semi-State contest.

Offensively, the Shamrocks had some new names step up to lead the way. Josue Gonzalez turned in an impressive game, providing a huge catch and score before the half that put the Rocks up by 10. Hayden Russell and Kyle Pepiot also tacked on consistent play, stepping up against a physical Wildkat team that challenged the offense.

The Rock D dominated last night. They held a unique and potent Wildkat offense to only 7 points. Chris Zolto lead the way with physical play, putting the icing on the cake with an interception late in the game that he returned for a touchdown. Collin Caldwell and Josh Tuffnell also stepped up for the D, stonewalling the Wildkat running attack. The big play of the night was a huge fourth down stop early, where the Rock D refused to grant a yard when Kokomo attempted a Quarterback Sneak.

Shamrock Special Teams provide a few key plays as well. Early in the game, they blocked a punt that was scooped and returned to the one yard line, setting up the offense for an easy score. Will Harrison drilled a field goal in the first half, and Josh Tuffnell had a key, momentum-gaining return when Kokomo tried a chip kick to him to start the second half.

Special mention should be given to Eli Ross and the entire Scout Offense. These Rocks made significant contributions in preparing the team for the Friday contest, especially when you face the sort of unqiue look that Kokomo presents. They attacked each day during the week, providing the best possible look for their fellow teammates. A good look from the scout teams absolutely translated to on-field domination this week.

The Rocks will host the Semi-State contest next week, where they will face the Fort Wayne Snider Panthers. Kickoff is typically scheduled for 7pm, but may be pushed back due to the length of travel for the visitors. Stay tuned for updates later in the week.

#GameDay Regional Championship - Kokomo

Tonight, your Rocks will host the Kokomo Wildkats for the Regional Championship. Kokomo is looking to defend their title from last year, when they beat Westfield 21-19. The Rocks will be looking for revenge.

Kokomo comes into the game with an 8-2 record, and on a 7 game winning streak. They defeated Muncie Central last week in the Sectional Championship. In terms of common opponents, the Wildkats defeated Harrison (by 3) and Jeff (by 6), losing to McCutcheon (by 7). They run a unique scrum-style offense that really focuses on pounding the football, sprinkling in just enough passes to keep a defense honest. They average 30 points per game on 371 yards (301 on the ground). In their last game, they passed only three times, but all three were for touchdowns. RB Keenen Wheeler (#31) is the focal point of their offense, averaging 178 all purpose yards per game.

Offensively, the Rocks will need to put points up against a team that really likes to grind out victories against good teams. The Rock D will need to limit Wheeler and stop the run, staying alert for those dangerous passes. This will be a grit it out, physical game that could again come down to the wire.

As such, we would love to pack the stands and rock the Rock. High school sports don't get much better than Friday Night Lights in November (especially with the great weather we've been having). No directions needed for this one. Kickoff is scheduled for 7pm.

#RockReport Sectional Championship - McCutcheon

Photocredit: Hamilton County Reporter
Last night, your Rocks secured their fourth Sectional Championship in four years with a 34-7 victory over the Lafayette McCutcheon Mavericks. The win propels Westfield into a rematch from last years Regional against the Kokomo Wildkats.

Offensively, the Shamrocks refused to be tackled for most of the night. This mentality was most evident on an early Nate Froelich run, during which he carried several defensive players en route to a score. Matt Robinson and Drew Johnson added consistent play.

The Rock D frustrated the Maverick offense all night, allowing only a late touchdown with the game well in hand. Colin Caldwell led the defensive line dominance, with the added consistent play of Brian Skelton. Josh Tuffnell anchored the linebacking corps, while the big play of the night came on a Justin Frey interception.

The Shamrock Special Teams executed perfectly, refusing to allow the Mavericks to gain any moment in this phase of the game. Jackson Garrett provided solid holds, with Will Harrison splitting the uprights on several kicks, the biggest of which was a 50 yard field goal that added to the Shamrock lead.

Special mention should be given to Trevor Lickfeldt, Mark McClaurin, Zach Allen, Ryan Mahoney, and Devin McGinnis. These Rocks made significant contributions in preparing the team for the Friday contest. They attacked each day during the week, providing the best possible look for their fellow teammates.

Next week's Regional Championship will be at beautiful Riverview Health Stadium, as the Rocks look to avenge themselves against Kokomo. Kickoff is scheduled for 7pm.

#GameDay Sectional Championship vs McCutcheon

Tonight, the Lafayette McCutcheon Mavericks roll into Riverview Health Stadium, looking to spoil Westfield's stranglehold on the Sectional. Your Rocks have won the last three Sectional Championships, and will look to add a fourth tonight. The Mavericks, however, will not make it easy. They come in with an 8-2 record, having beaten Harrison 29-12 last week in order to advance.

During the regular season, the Mavs lost to Harrison 23-20, and beat Lafayette Jeff 45-3, rounding out the only opponents that they have in common with the Rocks. Their offense is a grind it out, time of possession style running attack that will challenge the Rock D physically. The score 30 points per game on 313 yards (205 on the ground). RB Darren Lathrop (#30) leads the team in rushing with 723 yards, while Drew Retherford (#23) has punched it in for the Mavs 8 times. RB Austin Bennett (#21) has come on late in the year when injuries put him in the starting role, and has racked up 501 yards, coming alive for the Mavs down the stretch. QB Peyton Williams (#2) will look to find WR Gavin Dunbar (#7) when the Mavs do throw the ball, as Dunbar leads the team with 501 yards on 28 receptions. Isaac Angstadt (#6) is a close second, with 327 yards on 23 receptions.

The Shamrock Offense will need to stay hot, capitalizing on its chances as the Mavs will look to limit the Rocks by not allowing many offensive touches. Look for a tough, physical game. Both teams will need to play physical and limit mistakes to come away with the win.

No directions needed for this one. The Rock should be rockin' tonight, so come on out for some vintage Indiana playoff football, and cheer on your Rocks. Kickoff is scheduled for 7pm.

#RockReport Sectional I - Jeff

Photo Credit: JCOnline
Last night, your Shamrocks traveled to Lafayette Jefferson High School to face the Bronchos in the first round of their Sectional bracket, earning a 38-14 victory. The win represents the first step for the Rocks on their postseason journey, putting them in the Sectional Championship next Friday, where they will face the Lafayette McCutcheon Mavericks.

Offensively, the Shamrocks exploded in the first half, scoring all of their points before halftime and going in with a 38-0 lead. Johnny Swidan led the way, dragging would-be Broncho tacklers as the Shamrock offense pounded the rock. Chad Reeh and Andy Sweet tacked on consistent play in support of the dominant run game, while tossing just enough passes to keep the Broncho defense on their heels. The big play of the night came on the first drive, when Sweet hooked up with Evan Manley for a long touchdown.

The Rock D stifled the Bronchos and generated plenty of turnovers to help put this game away early. Brian Skelton seemed to be all over the ball last night, coming away with several takeaways, including a key interception on one of the early Broncho drives. Jackson Garrett and Caleb Sanburn kept things consistent with physical play both in the box and in the secondary. The Rocks held the Bronchos scoreless in the first half, and only gave up scores late with the game well in hand.

Shamrock special teams got in on the fun last night, generating a blocked punt that Skelton returned for a touchdown. The field goal team was also able to put one through for a score after one of the Broncho turnovers, and William Harrison launched a booming punt one of the few times the Rocks found themselves pinned in their own territory, flipping the field.

Special mention should be given to Jeremiah Edwards, Trevor Lickfelt, and Cam Simons. These Rocks made significant contributions in preparing the team for the Friday contest. They attacked each day during the week, providing the best possible look for their fellow teammates.

The Rocks will host the Sectional Championship next week, where they will face the McCutcheon Mavericks. Kickoff is scheduled for 7pm.

#GameDay Sectional I @ Lafayette Jefferson Bronchos

Tonight, your Rocks will travel to Lafayette in order to face the Bronchos of Jefferson High School in the opening round of their Sectional. The Bronchos enter with a 6-3 record, coming off a 55-48 win two weeks ago against Muncie Central. The only opponent that they share with Westfield is the Harrison Raiders, to whom they lost 40-8 back in week 4. (The Rocks won their week 1 contest against the Raiders 38-17.)

The Bronchos come in with a hot hand on the offensive side of the ball. While they average 30 points per game on 378 yards (216 on the ground), they have put up 55, 47, and 50 points in their last three contests, so this is a team that can score. The Rock D will have its work cut out for them, limiting a speedy Broncho ground attack. RB Latrell Brown (#22) leads the way averaging just shy of 100 rushing yards per game, while QB Mathew Wilkerson (#16) throws for 158 yards per game. Wilkerson's favorite targets are WRs Justin Walker (#2) and Jalen Williams (#9) with 5 and 7 TDs, respectively. Walker will also occasionally line up in the "wildcat" formation, utilizing his exceptional speed for a different style of rushing attack.

The Shamrock offense will need to dominate the line tonight, pounding the rock with their signature running attack. Look for big chunks of yardage on the ground as the Rocks aim to control the game flow with physical, smash-mouth football.

This is the first of hopefully many playoff games, but every game can certainly be the last. We know Lafayette is quite the drive, but we could use all the friendly voices we can get on the road, during the playoffs. Need directions? We've got you covered. Kickoff is scheduled for 7pm. See you there!

#RockReport Brebeuf

Photocredit: Hamilton County Reporter
Last night, the Shamrocks earned a 37-21 victory against a scrappy Brebeuf Braves football team. The win finishes out the regular season for the Rocks, sporting a 7-2 overall record.

Offensively, the Shamrocks were led by Nate Froelich. The talented running back ripped off large chunks of yardage for the offensive, with one run in particularly serving a spark in the second half. During the run, Froelich dashed through a half dozen Brave defenders, criss-crossing the field and covering nearly 60 yards for the score. Austin "Tiny" Dollens added consistent play up front with the O-line, while Evan Manley led the wide receivers. Manley made a fantastic diving catch for one of the Shamrocks' early scores.

The Rock D was able to limit the Braves to 21 points after starting a bit slow. They ratcheted up the physicality in the second half, and were able to frustrate a dynamic Braves quarterback with pressure. Koby Hauser led the way with solid coverage in the secondary, while also bringing physicality down to the line of scrimmage when called upon. Matthew Tongate added consistent play on the defensive line. The big play of the night was early, when Hauser intercepted a Brave pass in the end zone, thwarting a Brebeuf scoring attempt.

On special teams, the Rocks were able to maintain an advantage over the Braves. Caleb Sanburn provided consistent play, with solid, reliable long snaps. Will Harrison nailed a 50-yard field goal to end the first half, and Nate Froelich recovered a late onside attempt by the Braves to help seal the victory.

Special mention should be given to Seth Feltner, Jacob Crabtree, and Seth Tackett. These Rocks made significant contributions in preparing the team for the Friday contest. They attacked each day during the week, providing the best possible look for their fellow teammates.

The Rocks will enjoy a bye next week, as they prepare start their playoff journey by travelling to Lafayette to take on the Bronchos in the first round of the sectional on Friday, October 28th.

Friday, October 14, 2016

#GameDay Brebeuf

Tonight, you Rocks will host the Brebeuf Braves at beautiful Riverview Health Stadium. The Braves come in with a 4-4 record (1-2 on the road) with their most recent victory being a stunning 24-17 victory over Cathedral. Brebeuf also faced Zionsville early last month, falling 28-33 to the Eagles.

The Braves average 268 yards per game (165 passing), and average only 18 points. Still, as their victory last week showed, they are perfectly capable of handing a highly ranked 6A team a defeat, and should most definitely not be taken lightly. The Rocks will need to limit the dynamic run/pass talent of QB Luke Iffert (#3). Iffert leads the team in rushing per game, as well as slinging the ball effectively downfield. His two favorite targets are Max Kucer (#8) and Jacob Pressler (#12), both of whom have notched 3 TDs a piece this season.

It's the last game of the regular season, so tonight is Senior Night for the Rocks. Come out and honor the seniors that have given so much to the program over the last four years. They will look to lead the Rocks to take care of business tonight, and hopefully wrap up the regular season with a win. Kickoff is scheduled for 7pm.

#RockReport Fishers


Photocredit: Hamilton County Reporter
Last night, the Rocks traveled to Fishers, facing the Tigers and coming away with a 31-24 victory. They will finish 4-2 in Hoosier Crossroads Conference play, completing a varsity sweep of the two Fishers city high schools. The Rocks overall record rises to 6-2 with only Brebeuf Jesuit remaining on the regular season schedule.

On offense, the Shamrocks struggled early, turning the ball over several times. The leadership of Andy Sweet and consistent physical presence of Spencer Stachrya kept the offense plugging away. Sweet hooked up with Evan Manley for pair of long Shamrock scores, and the offense cleaned things up in the second half to help seal the victory.

The Rock D buckled down and did the dirty work to prevent the early turnovers from burying the Rocks. They then generated several turnovers in the second half, helping to even things out and secured the win with a 4 down stand with time dwindling in the fourth. Griffin Lickfeldt led a gritty D line effort, and Dillon Simpson tacked on consistent linebacker play. Hank Grenda provided one of the highlights early when he shot through a gap to tackle the Tiger running back in their own end zone for a safety.

The Shamrock special teams executed well in that phase of the game all night, preventing the Tigers from using their electric returners to great effect. Will Harrison kicked precise balls all night, and the coverage teams kept things bottled up. There were not a lot of fireworks on special teams, but Koby Hauser engineered a good punt return that set the offense up with excellent field position that would turn into points for the Rocks.

Special mention should be given to Ryan Mahoney, Jacob Crabtree, and Seth Tackett. These Rocks made significant contributions in preparing the team for the Friday contest. They attacked each day during the week, providing the best possible look for their fellow teammates.

The Rocks will host Brebeuf next Friday to finish out the regular season. Kickoff is scheduled for 7pm.

#GameDay Fishers

Tonight, your Rocks will travel to face their final foe on the conference slate, the Fishers Tigers. Fishers comes into the contest with a 3-4 record (0-4 HCC), having most recently earned a 27-17 victory over Cathedral. The victory snapped a four game slide for the Tigers, during which they lost to Avon (by 33), Brownsburg (4), HSE (3), and Noblesville (7).

The Shamrocks will look to build on last week's victory over Avon, and finish out with a winning conference record. The Tigers generate 227 yards per game (114 through the air), and put up 25 points average. They've had some shuffling around due to injuries, and will utilize several rushers in the backfield. Sophomore QB Jon Vore (#11) looks to be the probable starter tonight, and he'll try to hook up with two electric receivers Devonte Adams (#7) and R.J. Potts (#9). The Rocks will need to play a clean game against the well-coached Tigers, limiting the mistakes that were the undoing for the Irish last week.

We could sure use some friendly voices in the stands. Need directions? As always, we've got ya covered. Kickoff is scheduled for 7pm. See you there!

#RockReport Avon Orioles

Photocredit: Hamilton County Reporter
Last night the Rocks came home to Riverview Health Stadium and danced their way to the right side of a 1 point margin, defeating the Avon Orioles 21-20. The victory lifts their record to 5-2 (3-2 HCC) and sets up nicely for a final conference showdown against Fishers next week.

On offense, the Shamrocks were led by the relentless ground attack of Nate Froelich. He couldn't have done it without the big guards of the O-line, Spencer Stachrya and Chad Reeh, pushing the birds around. Evan Manley added a couple of clutch catches and Andy Sweet sealed things at the end with fantastic leadership at the QB position.

The Rock D held one of the HCC's most athletically gifted offenses to 20 points, bending but not breaking and generating key takeaways. Homecoming King Caleb Sanburn snagged a pick early, and the Rocks generated two fumbles later in the game that were recovered by Jackson Garrett and Matthew Tongate. Justin Frey added consistent play in the secondary as the Rocks gritted their teeth and ground this one out by the slimmest of margins.

In the special teams phase of the game, the Shamrocks began the night aggressively when Alex Bales recovered his own onside kick to start the game. Otherwise, the coverage teams did a fantastic job of caging the speedy Oriole returners. In a back and forth game like this one, maintaining strong field position is an advantage that the special teams secured throughout the night.

Next week, the Rocks will travel to Fishers to take on the Tigers. Kickoff is scheduled for 7pm.

#GameDay Avon

Tonight, your Rocks come home to host the Avon Orioles. The Orioles will be looking to rain on our parade. They bring a 3-3 record (2-1 HCC) into the contest, having most recently buried Fishers by a score of 38-3. Prior to that, they've lost by 8 to Brownsburg and beaten HSE by 3 to round out the conference opponents. They have yet to face Zionsville and Noblesville.

As their outcomes against common opponents indicates, Avon presents the same sort of challenge that the Rocks have faced the last two weeks. They are a solid team with some electric skill players who the Rock D will look to contain. The Orioles average 26 points per game on 285 yards (147 through the air). Several players will run the ball, but Sampson James (#2) is leading the team with 57 ground yards per game. QB Cameron Misner (#15) will look to feed the ball to his favorite target Luke Shayotovich (#19). The two have hooked up for 6 TDs and 326 yards on the year.

The Shamrock Offense will look to provide homecoming fireworks with their balanced attack tonight, as the Rocks look to put the heart breaks of the last two weeks behind them. They could certainly use your voices cheering them on in Riverview Health Stadium tonight. No directions needed for this one. Come out and join the festivities! Kickoff is scheduled for 7pm.
