Late Game Drama Leads To Thrilling FinishAs Bryan Edges Out The Wauseon Indians

By: Mitchell Peebles

THE VILLAGE REPORTER

BRYANIt is not often that a broken

play is the key to a teams success, but

Friday night at Golden Bear Stadium,

that is exactly what happened. After

scoring a touchdown with only five sec-

onds left to play, Bryan decided to try

and send the game into overtime with

an extra point. A botched snap changed

those plans. The snap saw the ball skip

on the ground to place holder Sean

Culler of the Bears, who quickly jumped

to his feet as the Indians defense had

broken through the line of Bryan. Culler

narrowly avoided getting tackled, and

delivered what would prove to be the

game winning pass to teammate Derek

Knisely, successfully completing the two

point conversion, and sealing the 28-27

comeback win for the Golden Bears on

homecoming night, and breaking the

hearts of Indian players and fans alike.

With all the hype and excitement

surrounding the match-up of the two

unbeaten teams, it was hard to imagine

that the game could possibly exceed the

expectations of spectators, but what

turned out to be an instant NWOAL

classic game did just that, and could

possibly turn out to be the game of the

season.

The night started off well for the

Golden Bears, as Bryan quarterback

Austin Schimmoeller connected on a 46

yard touchdown pass to BrandonPoncsak, followed on their next drive by

a 10 yard touchdown run by Dan

Pendergrast, putting the Bears ahead by

a score of 13-0, and it seemed as if the

Bears may run away with the win, but

the Tribe had a different plan.

The Indians would score 14 unan-

swered points in the final two minutes

of the half. The first touchdown came off

a two yard Axel Bueter run which

capped off 61 yard drive. Bueter would

then intercept a Schimmoeller pass at

the Bryan 47 yard line, and the Indians

would capitalize, as Wauseons senior

quarterback Ty Suntken would punch

the ball into the end zone with only one

second left in the half. The momentum

had shifted, and very suddenly, Wauseon

had taken a 14-13 halftime lead overBryan.

Bueter would again come up big for

the Indians, as he caught a 53 yard

touchdown pass from Suntken, and

would simply refuse to be brought down

as he broke several tackles on his way

into the end zone, and Wauseon held a

20-13 lead at the end of three quarters

of play.

Bryan would fumble the ensuing

kickoff, and the Indians would waste

little time, as Suntken would again lead

his team to a score, as he dropped back

to pass, but when seeing no one was

open, ran the five yards into the end

zone. The Indians had scored 27 unan-

swered points, making it 27-13

Wauseon, with 11:50 left in the game.

The Bears would put together a

drive, but Wauseons JJ Kauffman

picked off Schimmoellers pass in the

end zone, giving the Indians the ball

with only six minutes remaining, and it

looked as if the Tribe was going to be

able to run out the clock, and snap

Bryans 17 game regular season win-

ning streak.

But as had happened all throughout

the night, as soon as the outcome

seemed certain, momentum changed. A

fumble by Bueter at the Indians eight

yard line would prove costly for the

Tribe, as it would lead to a Derek

Knisely touchdown reception, making it

27-20 with 5:19 remaining. The Bears

would attempt an onside kick, but the

Indians would recover, and then go

three and out on the ensuing posses-

sion, giving Bryan the ball on the Golden

Bear 33 yard line.

The Bears would then put together

what proved to be an absolutely unbe-

lievable finish to the game.

As Bryan head coach Kevin Kline put

it, There was a little bit of luck at the

end. Sometimes you need that.After driving 84 yards, and convert-

ing two fourth down situations, the

Bears found themselves in a do or die

situation. The clock running with less

than 10 seconds remaining, and no

timeouts. Schimmoeller got the snap,

and dashed towards the end zone. The

Indian defense had stopped him short of

the goal line, but Schimmoeller had

fumbled the ball into the end zone, and

that is when Golden Bear lineman Jason

Hug jumped on the ball, and was cred-

ited with the touchdown, with only 5.3

seconds left to play.

That led to the botched extra point

attempt, which sealed the win for the

Golden Bears.

Im proud of our kids for not quit-ting and sticking with things, said

Golden Bear head coach Kevin Kline, ...

they kept fighting. Thats what we

always tell them, to always try to get one

more snap. That came down to the bit-

ter end.

Wauseon head coach Travis Cooper

feels that his team proved themselves as

the real deal as well, even in the loss.

It was a good football game, said

Wauseon coach Travis Cooper. If there

was any question as to whether we

belonged on this field, it was answered.

All the talk about Bryan as so dominant,

theyre a good team...but I think we

have a good team as well. Indeed the

Indians did play exceptionally well,

especially their defense which held thedangerous Bryan offense to their lowest

point total of the season, and 30 points

under the Bears average points scored

in 2013, which coming in to the game

against Wauseon was 57.4 points per

game.

The loss is Wauseons first of the sea-

son, making them 5-1 overall, and 3-1

in NWOAL play. Bryan moves their reg-

ular season winning streak to 18, and

are now 6-0 on the 2013 campaign, and

4-0 in league play. Bryan faces another

tough test as they travel to Patrick

Henry next week to face the 5-1 Patriots.

Wauseon will look to bounce back

with a win as they host the 1-5 Montpelier

Locomotives for the Indians homecom-

ing.

With the game being as exciting and

evenly matched as it was, many are now

hoping that a rematch is in store come

playoff time. Will that wish come true?

Many NWOAL football fans certainly

hope so.

Edon Bombers Drop A Shutout OnThe Ottawa Hills Green Bears

By: Kent HutchisonTHE VILLAGE REPORTER

EDON- The Edon Blue Bomberswere anything but gracious hosts intheir October 4th gridiron encounterwith the Ottawa Hills Green Bears. Thehigh powered Bomber offense ripped off14 points in the first four minutes ofthe contest and rolled to a 42-0 white-washing of the Green Bears.

After receiving the kickoff, Edonsoffense began the evening at their 29

yard line. Quarterback Kaden Sapp hitBrock Thiel for a six yard gain on thefirst play from scrimmage. Followingan incompletion by quarterback Sapp,

Trevor Green picked up three yardsleaving the Bombers one yard short ofthe first down with the ball resting onthe Edon 38 yard line. In uncharacter-istic fashion, the punt team marchedon to the field in the opening drive.Mike Peeples dropped back in punt for-mation. However, a little trickerationwas in the air as the snap went toConnor Hug instead of Peeples. Thesenior receiver followed his wall ofblockers to the right sideline for an 18

yard gain and the initial first down ofthe night. Sapp hit Landon Bloir right

in front of the Bomber bench for a 20yard gain. With the pigskin now restingat the 24, the Bombers needed just onemore play to cross the goaline as thetouchdown tandem of Sapp to Hugstruck again. After Peeples extra pointattempt sailed wide left Edon held a 6-0lead with 10:08 remaining in the open-ing quarter.

The long bus ride from Toledo musthave left the Green Bears a little wearyas the Bombers caught them off guardwith an onside kick. After a madscramble in front of the Ottawa Hillsbench, Sapp emerged with the ball inhis grasp and suddenly the offense wasback in business at the midfield stripe.

The quarterback gained a hard twoyards, then appeared to have a huge

hook up with Hug. However, an unnec-essary roughness penalty nullified thebig gain. Undaunted by the infraction,the duo connected again for a 13 yardgain. Green picked up 13 yards, then 8more on successive carries moving theball to the OH 16 yard marker. Thefinal distance was traveled as Sapp hit

Thiel in the left corner of the end zone.Green took the handoff from Sapp andfollowed the line to paydirt for the twopoint conversion giving the Bombers a14-0 advantage as 8:04 was still left inthe stanza.

Finally making their first venture onto the field, the Edon defense sprintedon fired up with the lead. The Bombershad no problem caging the Green Bears

offense and forcing a punt in fourdowns.The punt came to rest at midfield

giving Edon great field possession onceagain. Sapp used his legs for a six yardgain, but missed his mark on a seconddown pass attempt. Intending to go tothe air again, instead Sapp was droppedfor a loss of seven on a sack. Peeplespunt attempt was no aberration thistime as it came to rest at the Green

Bears 21.Ottawa Hills was able to move the

chains for the first time on the night,however the success was short lived.

The Bomber defense held strong, aidedon a third down sack by JordanWhitaker and Kenny Ordway. Once

again the ball was punted back toEdon.

The offensive surge by the Bombers

stayed strong. Sapp to Hug for 18more, then a quarterback keeper for 14

additional yards. The duo connectedagain through the air for 16 more

yards, then Sapp covered the final sixyards on the ground with 13 seconds

remaining in the quarter. Peeples kicksplit the uprights giving Edon a com-manding 21-0 lead at the end of one.

Another three and out by the Bomberdefense led to another quick score.

This time only 30 seconds and two

plays were needed to add points to theboard. Beginning at the Edon 48 yardline, Sapp hit Thiel for a nineteen yard

gain. Sapp then rolled right and foundHug once again, this time wide open in

the left corner of the endzone. The kickby Peeples was straight and true asEdon upped the margin to 28-0 with

10:24 remaining in the half.The Green Bears were able to obtain

another first down, this time compli-

ments of an Edon offsides penalty. Thegenerosity was brief however as Zulchdropped the OH quarterback for a 10

yard loss on second down. Third downresulted in just a 2 yard pass comple-tion sending the Green Bear punt team

back onto the field. The fortune ofOttawa Hills went from bad to worse onfourth down as Colten Lyman broke

through the line blocking the punt.The Bomber offense, now simply in a

frenzy, ran back on the field with great

field position at the Green Bear 27. ASapp aerial to Peeples fell to the turf,

however a defensive holding penaltyresulted in a five yard gain. Sapp went

for all the marbles in the direction ofPeeples at the right side of the endzone.

The toss was just beyond the receiversgrasp. Facing second and ten from the

OH 17, the Bombers shifted gears tothe ground game. Green picked upseven yards, then Sapp added seven of

his own. Green covered the remainingthree yards for the touchdown andwhen Peeples added the PAT Edon now

led 53-0 with still 5:38 showing on theclock.

Ottawa Hills returned the kickoff to

their 33 yard line. The Green Bears,desperate for anything positive, movedthe ball consistently for the first time.

In ten plays Ottawa Hills had advancedthe ball in Bomber territory all the way

to the 34 yard line. The accomplish-ment however was brief. Green brokethrough to drop the OH quarterback for

a 9 yard loss, then a false start penaltymoved the offense back another five

yards. An incompletion, then a holding

penalty left the Green Bears all the wayback to their 40 yard line as the halfmercifully ended with the Bombers ...

Halftime did little to improve the fate

of the Green Bears. Ottawa Hills had

possession on their 22 yard line after

the second half kickoff. The rains

began obstructing the output of both

squads as each punted on their initialturns with the ball. The OH second

possession resulted in just a two yard

gain in the first two plays. Third down

was worse as the wet ball was fumbled

by the Green Bear running back and

recovered by Wyatt Walkowski at the

Ottawa Hills 36 yard line.

Green was thrown for a three yard

deficit, then a delay of game penalty

backed the ball to the 44 yard line. The

Bombers regrouped almost instantly as

Green gathered in the screen pass from

Sapp and turned the short toss into a

35 yard pick up. Green gained four

more on the ground before losing three

the next play. With the ball now resting

at the OH 7 yard line, Sapps third down

pass to Green fell incomplete. Edon

decided to go for it on fourth down. Thedecision appeared to be a bad one as

the snap to Sapp fell to the ground.

Rather than panic, the quarterback

scooped up the ball and launched it to

a wide open Thiel standing in the end-

zone. Peeples connected on his fourth

and final point after touchdown on the

night upping the advantage to 42-0 as

2:24 was left in the third quarter.

In large part credit the fact that a

torrential downpour set up shop over

Edon, as both offenses essentially shut

down for the night from this point for-

ward. Edon provided an opportunity for

their underclassman to gain some valu-

able playing time as they occupied the

field the entire fourth quarter. The sec-

ond string did their job of thwarting theGreen Bears attempts to put points on

the board, and ran out the clock on

offense to secure the shutout and 42-0

victory.

The aerial assault led by Sapp

proved to be very productive once again.

The junior signal caller connected with

his target on 13-18 attempts good for

222 yards and four scores. Sapp also

used his legs to find the endzone one

additional time. He gained 28 yards on

six sorties, while Green toted the pig-

skin 10 times for 31 yards and one

touchdown. Hug led the receiving corps

once again as he caught six passes for

117 yards and two TDs. Thiel hauled in

four tosses for 48 yards and a pair of

scores. Green grabbed two throws for

37 yards, while Bloir handled oneattempt for 20 yards.

The victory improves Edon to 4-2

overall and 2-1 in the Toledo Area

Athletic Conference. The Bombers will

make the trip across Williams County to

Hilltop where they will battle the BBC

and TAAC rival Cadets who enter the

contest 1-5 on the season and still look-

ing for their initial TAAC win.

Edon Bombers Drop A Shutout ...

Northwood Rangers Remain Perfect VersusHilltop; Clobbering The Cadets, 55-20

NORTHWOOD - Take a trip back

through the archives to 2005, the year

that the Hilltop Cadets football program

joined the Toledo Area Athletic

Conference, and you will see a consis-

tency that is all too familiar in Cadet

Country. Eight games, and eight years

of trying, Hilltop has never beaten the

Northwood Rangers. Theyve come close,

but even in the years that the Cadets

had playoff-bound teams, the schedule

had an L next to the Northwood game

at the end of the season.

Northwood brings nothing new or

surprising to each game, only new play-

ers who have taken up where othershave departed via graduation. The

Northwood option offense remains the

same...highly effective, and operated

with the greatest of slight-of-hand chi-

canery. When the Rangers welcomed in

the Cadets on October 4, the 1-5 Cadets

brought plenty of moxie with them, but

that alone was not enough to stave off a

55-20 defeat and an 0-9 record against

the Rangers.

With Quinn Smith under center, the

Hilltop offense has become more aggres-

sive and diverse...a good thing. What is

not such a good thing is that Smith, a

freshman, is learning the quarterback

position under game fire. The growth is

obvious, but the inexperience factor is

frequently exploited by opposing defens-

es. This came to light very quickly in the

game as Smith was picked off at the

Hilltop 18, and the ball returned for a

pick-six. Northwood was up 7-0 with

10:33 left in the first.

The Rangers got a sampling of the

stuff Smith brings to the table early in

the second period, as a Smith to Logan

Brooker pass from 13 yards out tied the

game at 7-7. The Cadets saw their

momentum wiped away on the ensuing

kickoff though, as the returner blew

through the Hilltop special teams unit

for 80 yards and the touchdown that

put the Rangers up by a 14-7 score.

That lead would never be threatened as

Northwood added two more touchdowns

within ten seconds of each other to

close out the half with a 28-7 lead.

The hometown boys blew the game

open with three unanswered touch-

downs in the third and another in the

fourth to open up a 48-7 lead. David

Smith brought Hilltop closer with a ten-

yard touchdown run to make it 48-13,

but Northwood replied with a touch-

down with 2:42 left to make it a 55-13

game. Smith closed out the scoring withanother ten-yard run with 1:19 remain-

ing.

Hilltop outrushed Northwood 224-

200, and held possession for more than

three minutes longer. The offense has

proven that they can indeed move the

ball. It is simply a matter of consistency

in moving the ball, while preventing the

opposition from doing the same.

Quinn Smith finished the night with

12 of 26 passing for 89 yards, a touch-

down and a pick. Zack VanDyke caught

a pass for 31 yards, while Brooker had

3 for 20 and a touchdown. Justin

Grapengeter caught 2 passes for 15

yards, and ran once for 3 yards. Austin

Batt reeled in 2 for 11 yards; Mikel

Burlew had a catch for 5 yards; Dallas

Timberman caught a pass for 4 yards,

and Chad Champion caught 2 for 3

yards.

David Smith ran 6 times for 110

yards and 2 touchdowns to lead Hilltop.

Miklo Abner gained 66 yards on 14

tries; Champion went 6 times for 35

yards, and Quinn Smith ran 11 times

for 10 yards.

The Cadets return home on October

11, where they will find their archrivals,

the Edon Bombers, awaiting.

Archbold Blue Streaks Short OutHomecoming For The Montpelier Locos

By: Mark MercerTHE VILLAGE REPORTER

MONTPELIER - The MontpelierLocomotives held their homecoming on

October 4, hosting the Archbold BlueStreaks. The fired up Locomotives held

their own against the 13th ranked BlueStreaks early on, but Archbold outdis-tanced the under-manned Locos late

and pulled away for a 41-21 victory.Early in the first quarter, Archbold

opened up the scoring on a 66 yard

touchdown strike on their opening pos-session, connecting on the extra point

and taking an early 7-0 lead 1:47 intothe game. The Locos answered on the

ensuing possession when QB KeeganHitzeman hooked up with Alex Zuveron a 25 yard touchdown strike and fol-

lowing the extra point by Cody Caudill,the Locos pulled even at 7-7. Archbold

immediately answered on their nextpossession, driving to the Montpelier 3

yard line before punching the ball intothe end zone, putting the Blue Streaksback on top 13-7 following the missed

extra point.The Montpelier Locomotives struck

at the 6:42 mark in the second quarteron a quarterback keeper by Hitzemanfor 5 yards. Hitzeman also plunged into

the end zone for the 2 point conversion,putting the Locomotives in the lead at

14-13. Archbold was able to drive backdown the field and punch the ball intothe end zone, going back on top of the

Locos following the successful pointafter attempt, 20-13. Archbold added

another score with 1 second remainingin the half, connecting on a 13 yard

touchdown strike to extend their lead to26-13. The PAT failed and the Locosheaded into the locker room within dis-

tance of a powerful Archbold squad.Archbold held the upset minded

Locomotives scoreless in the 3rd period.The Blue Streaks offense was able toextend their lead to 41-13, adding 2

scores on a 37 yard pass at the 6:18

mark along with a two point conver-sion, and then punching the ball in foran 8 yard run with 1:15 remaining,closing out the scoring for the period.

The Locomotives held Archboldscoreless in the 4th, while adding 7 at

the 6:24 mark on a Hitzeman scoringstrike to Caudill from 36 yards. Caudill

then kicked the extra point rounding

out the scoring on the night for

Montpelier.

For the Locomotives, quarterback

Hitzeman was 6 of 10 for the night

passing for 86 yards and 2 touch-

downs. Alex Zuver hauled in 3 passes

on the evening for 42 yards and a

touchdown averaging 14 yards a catch,

while Caudill snagged 3 balls for 44

yards and a touchdown for a 15 yard

per catch average. The Locos passed

for a total of 86 yards on the evening.

On the ground, Hitzeman led the

Locos with 17 rushing attempts for 106

yards, with 1 touchdown. Caudilladded 62 yards on 9 attempts; Nathan

Buehrer ground out 29 yards on 12

carries, Jordan Birdsall contributed 18

yards on 5 attempts, while Wyatt Beck

rounded out the Loco ground attack

with 1 carry on the evening.

Defensively for Montpelier, Birdsall

led the way with 7 tackles; Buehrer

added 4 stops and Beck stepped up for

3.5 hits. Caudill chipped in 3 stops on

the night, Zuver and Simon Wang

added 2. Nate McCord was credited

with 1.5 stops while Levi Croft and Max

Hulbert each threw in a tackle round-

ing out the defensive effort for the

Locos. Hubert also punted 5 times for

the Locomotives for 111 yards, averag-

ing 22.2 yards per punt.On the game, the Locomotives out-

gained the Blue Streaks on the ground

213-158, while Archbold held the

advantage through the air, 192 yards to

Montpeliers 86 yards. Montpelier had

12 first downs on the game and held a

slight lead in time of possession 24:36

to Archbolds 23:24. On the game the

Locos turned the ball over on 2 lost

fumbles and picked up a fumble recov-

ery on the Blue Streaks. Montpelier

played a relatively penalty free game,

being set back 1 time for 7 yards while

the Blue Streaks were flagged 7 times

for 55 yards.

The 41-21 setback to the Blue

Streaks marks the mid-way point on

the season for the Locomotives in what

is turning out to be a very tough, phys-

ical NWOAL. Following the loss,

Montpelier fell to 1-5 on the season and

0-5 in the NWOAL. The Locomotives hit

the road to take on 5-1/3-1 Wauseon

on Homecoming night in Tribe Town.

Leslie Clark of Montpelier and AnnaMarshall of Wauseon came to an end on

the links of Sycamore Springs onSeptember 30.

Both advanced through the D-II

Sectionals for the right to play at theSycamore Springs Districts, but despite

excellent rounds, neither were able to

advance.Marshall led all those who entered play

as individuals with a score of 87. Clarkhung up her golf shoes after a round of

97, closing a career that saw her leaving

her mark in the Montpelier record books.

FINDLAY - The Red Hawk Run GolfCourse of Findlay proved to be nothing

short of troublesome for the Wauseon

In a completely unexpected turn of

events, all five members of the Tribe

links squad battled the damp condi-tions turning in what was arguablytheir most disappointing performance

of the 2013 campaign, finishing in sev-enth place. The disappointing finish

ended the state final aspirations of the

Tribe.

Trevor Dominique led Wauseon with

an 80, while Brady Rupp carded a 93

Black Division Boys Race Won By MotherNature At The Fostoria Booster Invitational

The junior high races were complet-

ed, as was the high school Red Division

boys and both high school girls races.

With the Varsity boys Black Division

lining up to start at the October 5

Fostoria Booster Invitational, they were

joined at the line by an uninvited par-

ticipant...Mother Nature. The already

rain soaked course began to receiveanother dousing. As the race slogged

forward, the conditions decayed from

heavy rain to severe, pulling the plug on

the event.

The course was very wet and muddy,

which made for slower than usual

times, said Pettisville Coach, Tom

Wagner. The Fostoria course has a

rather large hill that was a sheet of

mud. I was very proud of the kids per-

formance. I think they enjoyed the mud

and rain, with the exception of the boys

Varsity Black Division when the rainwas coming down in sheets and flooding

occurred, along with lightning. I felt bad

for the boys in that race as many of

them had completed two miles already.

Napoleon Trips Up Indians 6-1

By: Bill Bray

THE VILLAGE REPORTER

The Napoleon Wildcats scored early

and often and defeated Wauseon 6-1 in

a non-league soccer matchup Thursday.

The Cats scored four timesin the rst 40 minutes and two

more times in the second half.

It was obvious that Wauseon was

missing their senior keeper Keven

Moden who was sidelined with a

concussion. Freshman Colin Ashbaugh

put forth a great effort lling in but it

fell short of having Moden in the line up.

The Indians only goal came late

in the contest as freshman Zach Fink

scored off an assist from Jacob Seiler.

Coach Scott Hoover added this

sentiment about Moden. I hope weget him back by the Bryan game. We

really missed him in there. Kevin has

been solid for us the past 2 seasons

and we needed him last night.

Scoring Drought Continues For Wauseon AsOttawa Glandorf Piles On For A 6-0 WinWAUSEON - The notable lack of

scoring continued in Wauseon on

October 5, as Ottawa-Glandorf arrived

in town and departed with a 6-0 win

against the sparsely staffed Tribe.

The Lady Indians got off ten shots

on goal, none of which found the back

of the net. Katie Spieles had 13 saves

in goal for Wauseon, and Ashleigh

Allison had 9 in relief.

OG scored early off of an admit-

tedly beautiful cross so we were down

right away and werent able to really

get comfortable and put together any

cohesive movement, said Wauseon

Coach, Kelsey Newman. We struggled

at keeping possession and transition-

ing between offense and defense. We

have more injured players than healthy

ones; its making it difficult to be as

effective as we were earlier in the sea-

son.

Wauseon Lady Indians KickersChased Home By The

Lady Rockets Of Oak HarborOAK HARBOR - Its a long haul to

Oak Harbor in Ottawa County, and the

ride seems even longer when the trip

home is made after dropping a hard

fought contest. That was the situation

for the Wauseon Lady Indians on

October 3 as they were shut out by the

Lady Rockets of Oak Harbor, 3-0.

Wauseon netminder, Katie Spieles,

had more than double the saves than

her offense was able to muster in shots

on goal, 14-6.Of the setback, Wauseon Coach

Kelsey Newman said, Today we played

with a lack of energy for most of the

game. Now that were nearing the end

of what has proven to be a physical sea-

son, we have very few uninjured players

and its affecting our training and com-

petitiveness. We did create some posi-

tive opportunities, but nothing that we

were able to finish unfortunately.

Pettisville Blackbirds Blank Monclova ChristianPETTISVILLE - Monclova Christian

visited Pettisville for their second meet-

ing of the year on September 26. With

just over a minute gone Eli Greiser took

a pass from Landon Roth and beat the

keeper to put the Birds on top, and

Pettisville kept making it rain, coming

away with a 5-0 win. Greiser and Roth

both scored unassisted goals later in

the first half, and the Blackbirds led 3-0

at the break.

With under two minutes gone in the

second period Kamryn Hostetler found

Conner Wyse open in the box, and he

stroked a shot through the

pipes. Midway through the period

Wyse found paydirt again when he con-

trolled the ball near midfield, outraced

the defender and calmly placed a shot

into the back of the net.

The 10-0 Pett isville kickers welcome

Lake on October 1.

Pettisville Swamps Lake; Moves To 11-0PETTISVILLE - The Lake Township

Flyers brought a strong team to

Pettisville for an October 1 game, add-

ing a few club players to the team that

the Birds had defeated 9-1 earlier in the

season. The additions may have helped,

but not enough to put a dent in the

Blackbirds perfect record as Pettisville

triumphed by a 5-1 count.

Sweeper Dillon King led the

defense against an early aggressive

attack, and gave the offense time to put

together an attack of their own. Eli

Greiser got the scoring started, pushing

a pass from Garrett Young into the goal

in the fourth minute. Over the next six

minutes the Birds found the back of the

net two more times, as Landon Roth

scored off a pass from Detric Yoder, and

Yoder battled through the middle,pounding a shot to the left of the goalie

with an assist by Greiser. In the final

minute of the half, Lakes strong left

midfielder lofted a 20-yard shot into the

far upper ninety and the half ended 3 -

1.

Justin Rupp garnered two assists in

the second half on nearly identical

plays. In the 15th minute he placed a

cross from the right side which Roth

directed into the goal from 12 yards out.

Five minutes later Yoder was on the

receiving end, and one-touched the ball

out of the air for a beautiful goal. Goalie

Zach Morrison and the defense held

Lake scoreless in the second half, and

the Birds coasted to the victory.

Pettisville Takes Emmanuel Christian Version 3.0PETTISVILLE - Some things never

change...they stay the way they are. ~

Neil Young

The Emmanuel Christian Warriors

and the Pettisville Blackbirds matched

up for the third time this season on

October 3. This final meeting ended

similar to the first two, with the

Blackbirds winning...and winning big.

Pettisville swept the three game season

series on this day by whitewashing the

Warriors, 10-2.

Detric Yoder started the first half

scoring for the Blackbirds with two

goals in a one minute span. Eli Greiser

scored three times and Landon Roth

once to put the Birds up 6-0 at halftime.

With 13 minutes gone in the second

half, Peyton Miller battled his way up

the right wing and placed a nice pass to

Dillon King, who calmly placed a shot

past the keeper. Five minutes later,

Kamryn Hostetler scored an unassisted

goal, and Justin Rupp finished up the

scoring with two goals in the final seven

minutes. Emmanuel did score twice in

the final period, far too little and far too

late to prevent the Birds from notching

their 12th victory of the undefeated sea-

son.
