#RockReport JV at Brownsburg

The Westfield Junior Varsity football team played their sixth game of the season on Saturday against the purple Bulldogs from Brownsburg.  The JV Rocks had a gutsy performance.  The final outcome of the game was not determined until there were only 3 seconds left on the clock, but the Rocks pulled out the victory 27-26.

The Rocks JV offense had some difficulty versus the aggressive Bulldog defense.  Sophomore wide receiver Jackson Wassestrom was able to give the offense an injection of life on the first play as he nearly scored on the first play of the game making a 70+ yard catch and run.  The Rocks scored on their first drive thanks to a run by junior quarterback Nick Talley and the left side of the offensive line, sophomore Zach Williams and junior Alex Cummings.  The final drive of the half was orchestrated by sophomore quarterback Maximus Webster who took the team 80 yards on 19 plays to put the Rocks ahead at the half.  The Rocks found themselves tied in the final quarter and facing an unprecedented 1st and goal from the 43 yard line thanks to several penalties.  On 3rd and goal, Webster again had his number called and made a miraculous scramble and throw to the back corner of the endzone for his second touchdown connection with Wassestrom to put the Rocks ahead 27-20.

The JV Rocks defense had an overall excellent day except for a few plays in the second half.  Junior defensive tackle Seth Poriah was the player of the game causing multiple disruptive plays, tackles for loss, and a fumble recovery.  Junior linebacker Blaine Riley was the most consistent contributor for the Rocks defense.  Riley was able to fill in for an injured player and earned the praise of his teammates.  Quoting from a source which I will keep anonymous, “I know we can’t really nominate players for awards but Blaine Riley had a heck of a game”.  The most exciting sequence of the game happened with 50 seconds left in the game.  The Bulldogs had the ball on their side of the field trailing 27-20.  The Rocks played prevent defense and the Bulldogs were able to slowly move down the field and had their own miraculous catch with only 3 seconds left in the game to pull within 1 point.  The Bulldogs decided to gamble and go for the win with a 2 point play.  Junior defensive end Seth Martin turned the quarterback back towards the other defenders and junior cornerback Kyle Pape sealed the win with a big play tackle.  The Rocks won 27-26 on that last second play.

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.

#RockReport JV at Zionsville

The Westfield Junior Varsity football team played their third game of the season on Saturday this week.  The opponent?  The villainous Eagles of Zionsville Community High School.  The game was exciting and the score vacillated like a metronome in prestissimo, but the JV Rocks were eventually able to take control and win the game 47-36.

Both teams defenses started the day with a bend but don’t break mentality, allowing the opposing offense to establish an early drive before having to punt.  The Rocks offense drew first blood when sophomore quarterback and player of the game Nick Talley connected with sophomore Ayden Franzen for a red zone touchdown.  The Eagles answered with a score of their own, despite a forced fumble by sophomore special teams player of the game David Frey.

The next drive Talley, punched the ball in for 1 yard after sophomore running back Jack Pfeiffer carried them down the field, but Zionsville answered right back with a long touchdown of their own.  Before the half, the Rocks offense was forced to punt but were able to pin the Eagles deep in their own territory.  The JV Rocks defense earned their keep and forced the Eagles backwards giving the offense outstanding field position leading to a Pfeiffer score.  The Rocks ended the half with an interception by sophomore safety Joey Wolfe.

The Rocks defense started the game off with a 3 and out and interception by sophomore safety David Frey.  Frey also contributed a forced fumble and quarterback sack.  The shining moment for the defense came late in the fourth quarter, the game was tied, and the offense had just turned the ball over deep in their own territory.  The Rocks defense was called upon to rise up, stand firm, and preserve the possibility of a Rocks victory.  With the help of a quarterback sack by sophomore defensive end Aydan Hartman and a pass break up in the endzone by sophomore safety Jonathan Frey, the Rocks were able to stop the bleeding and give the ball back to the offense for the final drive of the game.

The JV offense was explosive on the day.  Sophomore wide receiver Carson Voorhis contributed 3 long touchdown receptions from sophomore quarterback Nick Talley.  Junior offensive lineman Alex Juarez held firm on the line protecting Talley as he connected with Voorhis.  The play of the game came on the last drive, a 3rd down conversion between Talley and sophomore receiver Ayden Franzen to keep the drive alive.  Voorhis’s last touchdown came on a 3rd down play with only seconds to spare.  He caught the ball at the 5 yard line and dove into the endzone giving the Rocks a 26-20 win.

The Rocks defense faced a formidable running attack but were more than up for the challenge.  The Rocks front 7 started the game with multiple three and out possessions, the second of which resulted in a botched snap on a Flashes punt attempt setting up the Rocks offense with a short field.  Junior linebacker Zach Collins and junior linemen Calvin Grenda earned player of the game and Mr. Consistency awards respectively for the defense.  The outcome of the game was sealed when junior safety Griffin Pope swooped in and intercepted a desperate attempt by the Flashes to salvage some semblance of offensive explosiveness in the game.
