Your Rocks get the opportunity to take on HSE in Lucas Oil Stadium this season on September 18th. Advance tickets are being sold through the Athletic Department, and Westfield gets to keep a cut of those sales. Plus, it's cheaper for you to get them through us. For more information check out the school's site here.
It is a great place to see a game, and hopefully not the only chance you'll get to see us there this year.

#RockReport JV Zionsville
Catching up... JV beat Southport 42-32 last week. We pick up our reports with Zionsville this past weekend...)
The Westfield Junior Varsity football team came out to an incredibly fast start, scoring on the first three possessions of both teams. The Rocks won the toss and wanted to receive the football. The drive that ensued was a surgical blitzkrieg attack on the Eagles defense. The two offensive players of the game, Sophomore WR Caleb Pettijohn and Junior QB Andy Sweet, connected on multiple passes on the first drive including a 40+ yd touchdown strike to seal the deal.
The Zionsville JV team was put on its heels to start the game and the Westfield JV defense continued the assault. Junior OLB Dillon Simpson blitzed off the edge sacking the quarterback and stripping the ball, which fell nicely into Junior DE Elisha Lennon’s waiting hands. Lennon then ran the fumble in for a 60+ yard touchdown. The onslaught did not stop there. The next Eagles possession ended in a quick 3 and out, but during the attempted punt, Junior OLB Zach Jankowski blocked and recovered the punt giving the Rocks offense great field position. Sweet and Pettijohn hooked up again for another 30+ yard TD pass. After another Zionsville punt, the Rocks offense was driving a third time into Eagles territory when they finally stumbled and had back to back penalties, giving them a seemingly insurmountable 3rd and 35. Sweet again delivered with a 55 yard TD pass to Junior WR Mike Smith. The first quarter ended with the Rocks leading 28-7.
The rest of the game was full of big plays on defense keeping the Eagles caged. The Eagles had multiple opportunities near the Rocks end zone but came up short many times. Lennon had a sack which ended a drive near the end zone, Junior DB Chris Zolto had an interception in the endzone, Jankowski and Simpson combined to produce a fumble which was recovered by Lennon, and Jankowski along with Sophomore DB Cam Nance both had interceptions late in the game.
The Rocks also dominated on special teams. Freshman kicker Alex Bales had a huge morning kicking the ball. His kick-offs all were near the goal line, he punted the ball inside the 2 yard line pinning the Eagles deep, and he made a 46 yard field goal. Also contributing on special teams were Zolto, sophomore snapper Spencer Schneider, Jankowski, and junior LB Devin McGinnis recovering desperate onside kick attempts from an out matched Zionsville JV team.
The final score was 31-24 in favor of the Rocks.

Shining Rocks
Love to see when our guys get recognition in the papers. Good IndyStar article covering the Zionsville game here.
#RockReport - Zionsville
Offensively, the Shamrocks brought the lightning in the air followed by thunder on the ground, putting up 45 points. Jonathan Swidan rumbled behind the leadership of Jonathan Mendoza, racking up yards and touchdowns alike. The steady hands of Lucas Schultz guided the air attack, and Ryan Pepiot hooked up with Evan Manley for the big play of the night on a long TD strike.
The Rock Defense wreaked havoc on the Eagle offense, generating multiple takeaways. Martell Fletcher snagged two picks, and Luke Lammers forced a fumble that was snatched up by Jackson Garrett. Koby Hauser added consistent pressure for a unit that, with the exception of a few big plays, made Zionsville earn every yard they got.
Shamrock Special Teams showered the offense with an extra possession as well when Jonathan Swidan and Jared Bayha recovered a squib kickoff. Will Harrison tacked on big points in the kicking game, and Jared Bayha kept up his stellar play throughout the night.
Special mention should be given to Matthew Noyes, Clint Hostler, and Josue Gonzalez. These Rocks made significant contributions in preparing the team for the Friday contest. They were #unbreakable during the week, providing the best possible look for their fellow teammates.
Come see your #unbreakable Rocks next Friday, when Westfield will host the Noblesville Millers as the rivalry section of the schedule continues. This time the Midland Rail trophy is on the line. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00pm.

#RockReport Southport
Offensively, the Shamrocks were anchored by the solid play of the offensive line. The big men up front paved the way for several long and impressive scoring drives. Evan Manley topped it off with steady hands, including catching the game winning touchdown with 6.7 seconds left.
The Rock Defense fought hard to contain an explosive Cardinal offense. Jackson Garrett and Matthew Tongate led the way, with Koby Hauser adding consistent coverage. The defensive big play came when Jackson Garret undercut a Southport route, intercepting the ball and returning it for a defensive score.
Shamrock Special Teams did a great job of pinning the Cardinals deep, forcing them to drive the field after the numerous Rock scores. Alex Bales came in and boomed several key kicks, which the entire kickoff coverage team was excellent in bottling up any potential return. William Harrison buckled down in the closing minutes of the game to hit a pair of key field goals, putting the Rocks in position to win.
Special mention should be given to Luke Dedrick, Jordan Grimes, and Austin Ward. These Rocks made significant contributions in preparing the team for the Friday contest. They were #unbreakable during the week, providing the best possible look for their fellow teammates.
Come see your #unbreakable Rocks next Friday, when Westfield will travel to Zionsville High School to take on the Eagles. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00pm.

#Gameday Southport
Tonight, your Rocks will make the trek down to Southport High School to take on the Class 6A #9 Cardinals. They face a high-powered Southport passing offense that can put up points in a hurry. Last week, the Cardinals played Roncalli, putting up 21 points in the second quarter alone. Roncalli fought back to make it a game, and Southport hung on with some defensive heroics in the latter part of the game. This week looks like it could be a QB duel with both defenses looking to lock down the opposing scoring threats. Westfield will need to ground the air attack and put up some points of their own in order to win this game.
Your #unbreakable Rocks could sure use your voices in the stands! We know it's a long drive, but the weather should be beautiful and we have you covered with directions. See you at the game!
