	Brenton Morefield 30 run (conversion failed)
	Dominic Leonard 25 run (Nick Roell run)
	OVERTIME
	Jayden Payne 15 pass from Nick Roell (Nick Roell run)

	Interception: Jayden Payne

	NOTES: The eight-year old Knights endured a long week of hard
	practices preparing for this game. Coach Bruce wanted his kids
	to play tough for an entire thirty-two minutes. He stressed it
	over and over. The kids ran the hillside to build endurance.
	The hard work paid off. Brookline came to Carlynton ready for
	four quarters of football. By the time this game was over,
	they'd given four-plus, and earned a win for their efforts.
Brenton Morefield scored the
game's first touchdown.
	The Knights started strong. Brenton Morefield put Brookline on
	top 6-0 with a thirty yard breakaway on the first possession.
	Carlynton came back, forcing a turnover and recovering on the
	Knight one foot line. A touchdown and successful conversion
	put the Cougars ahead, 8-6. The second quarter was scoreless.
Nick Roell reaches for the pylon as he's being
dragged down near the goal line during overtime.
	Brookline began the second half with a nice drive. Dominic
	Leonard capped it off with a twenty-five yard scoring burst.
	Nick Roell bulled his way up the middle for the conversion,
	putting the Knights back in the lead, 14-8. The Cougar defense
	answered by forcing another turnover and returning the fumble
	sixty yards to tie the game. The Knight defensive line held
	back the two-point attempt to keep the score even. The final
	quarter was fought to a draw. The game entered overtime.
Jayden Payne's interception ended
Carlynton's first overtime possession.
	Carlynton got the first possession. Tackles by Marques Watson
	and Roell, followed by a Jayden Payne interception put the
	Knights in control. Three rushes, off-setting penalties and
	an incomplete pass sent the game into a second overtime.
After an overtime TD pass to Jayden Payne,
Nick Roell adds the two-point conversion.
	On the Knights first snap, Roell bootlegged left and headed
	for the corner. It was close to a touchdown, but a Brookline
	penalty negated the play. Not to be denied, Roell dropped
	back and launched a perfect pass to Payne in the endzone for
	six-points. Nick added the deuce with a good conversion run.
	It was time for the defense to step up and stop the Cougars.
The Knight defense got tough and snuffed the
Cougar's second OT possession to seal the deal.
	The Knights ended strong. The defensive line forced Carlynton
	back four yards in three plays. An incomplete pass on fourth
	and fourteen put an end to the contest. Final score: 22-14.
	Coach Bruce wanted thirty-two minutes. He got forty and a win.
 
	WEEK #7 - October 9, 2010

	9-UNDER

	Carlynton 12 - BROOKLINE 0

	Interception: Cole McMullan

	NOTES: Coach Mike's nine-year olds lost 12-0 to the Carlynton
	Cougars. Despite the loss, the team played well. Offensively,
	the Knights stumbled. Defensively, aside from the first minute
	of mayhem, their strong effort could have produced a shutout.
The players and cheerleaders prepare
for the game's opening introductions.
	Carlynton returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown. They
	recovered a loose ball on the ensuing kickoff. A fifty yard
	touchdown run followed. Within a span of forty-five seconds,
	Carlynton had rushed to a 12-0 lead. The pain continued for
	another fifteen seconds. A Cougar recovered a Knight fumble
	and took off for the endzone. Nathan Ault tracked the stray
	down and dropped him. The longest minute ended.
The Knight's defense played tough.
After the trauma of the first minute,
they held the Cougars scoreless for
the remainder of the game.
	The Knight defense got down to business, but not without a
	scare. After stopping a Cougar drive with an interception,
	Cole McMullan suffered an injury while being pulled to the
	ground by his face mask. He laid motionless, surrounded by
	coaches and family, as paramedics were summoned. Cole was
	transported to the hospital as the game entered halftime.
The Knight offense could not get on track.
	The second half was fought to a standstill. One Cougar got
	loose and threatened to increase the score, but once again
	the speedy Ault was a few steps quicker and brought the runner
	down short of the endzone. After a minute of mayhem, followed
	by thirty-nine minutes of tough, scoreless football, the game
	ended as a Carlynton victory.

	After examination, Cole McMullan was deemed healthy and fit
	for action. Cole returned to the field before the next game
	was complete. He looked no worse for wear and tear. Thank God.
 
	WEEK #7 - October 9, 2010

	10-UNDER

	BROOKLINE 26 - Carlynton 6

	Scoring Summary:

	Darryl Daniels 73 run (conversion failed)
	Quran Powe 41 punt return (conversion failed)
	Quran Powe 9 run (conversion failed)
	SAFETY - Cullin Baker tackled runner in endzone
	Quran Powe 47 pass from Brent Ivory (conversion failed)

	Interception: Brent Ivory
	Fumble Recovery: Darryl Daniels

	NOTES: Coach Joe's ten-year olds joined Coach Donnie's Mighty
	Knights as leaders of their respective conferences. Both teams
	sport 6-0 records, and both coaches can playfully debate who
	has the mightiest Knights in Brookline. After dispatching the
	Cougars handily, 26-6, this Knights team looked mighty mighty.
The offensive line did another outstanding job.
	Darryl Daniels started things off with a seventy-three yard
	touchdown run on Brookline's first play from scrimmage. The
	Cougars were held motionless and forced to punt. Quran Powe
	returned the kick forty-one yards for a second Knight score.
	A fourth down pass to Khalil Weathers kept Brookline's next
	drive alive. Powe again found the endzone, this time with a
	nine-yard run. In ten minutes the Knights had an 18-0 lead.
Khalil Weathers had three clutch
receptions, all for first downs.
	Two takeaways, a Daniels fumble recovery and a Brent Ivory
	interception, kept the ball in Brookline's hands. With four
	minutes to go in the half, Lamar Lewis scampered thirty-six
	yards to the Carlynton twenty. On the next play, a Brookline
	pass was intercepted at the twelve yard line. The defense
	pushed the Cougars back to the one. With time for one more
	play, a back took a handoff and ran right into Cullin Baker.
	Baker bagged the Cougar in the endzone for a safety.
The Brookline defense stuck it to the Cougars.
	The point parade continued in the third quarter. Powe caught
	a screen pass from Ivory, eluded a couple of tacklers and
	sprinted for the goal line. His forty-seven yard touchdown
	reception increased the Knight lead to 26-0.
The girls have plenty to cheer about.
	Midway through the third quarter the JV team entered the game.
	The offense, led by Jeremy Jenkins, sputtered but held their
	own. The defense did a good job of holding Carlynton back. A
	twenty-four yard Cougar scoring run late in the fourth quarter
	was their only blemish. Zack Liddle made a nice tackle at the
	goal line to stop the conversion attempt.
Zack Liddle stops a fourth quarter
conversion attempt short of the goal.
	Pound for pound, who are the mightiest Knights of all? It's
	hard to argue against Coach Donnie's seasoned veterans, but
	it's fun to watch Coach Joe's upstarts earning some respect.

	WEEK #7 - October 9, 2010

	11-UNDER

	Carlynton 40 - BROOKLINE 0

	Fumble Recovery: Richard Stone, Tyler McGough, Ronnie Dunlap
Richard Stone had some nice runs
to move the sticks, but the good
ones came too few and far between.
	NOTES: The eleven-year old Knights had another difficult game.
	Carlynton scored three times in the first half. The third,
	with thirty-three seconds remaining, put them ahead 24-0. The
	Knights defense kept the Cougars off the board throughout the
	third quarter. Three minutes into the fourth the Cats returned
	an interception for a score. They repeated that feat minutes
	later to complete a forty point afternoon. Brookline got some
	nice running from Richard Stone, but the first downs came too
	few and far between.
Marcus Jacobs keeps the water flowing.
Marcus played well for the 9-year olds.
Helping Marcus is Cole McMullan, wearing
the white cap. Cole returned from the
hospital after a scary neck injury
with a clean bill of health. Cool!

 
	WEEK #7 - October 9, 2010

	13-UNDER

	BROOKLINE 6 - West Mifflin 0 (forfeit)

	NOTES: The West Mifflin 13-U team dropped out of the league.
	The Mighty Knights advance to Week #8 with a 6-0 record. Next
	week's game against the Southside Sabres is a rematch of last
	season's Super Bowl, won by the Knights of Brookline, 18-8.
