	WEEK #2 - September 4, 2010

	8-UNDER

	BROOKLINE 16 - West Mifflin 6

	Scoring Summary:

	Keyshawn Palmer 7 run (Marques Watson run)
	Brenton Morefield 23 run (Dominic Leonard run)

	Fumble Recovery: Nick DelMastro

	NOTES: Coach Bruce and his eight-year old Knights began their
	season with a 16-6 triumph over the West Mifflin Titans. From
	start to finish Brookline's little Knights played good, strong
	football, worked well as a team, and came away with a big win!

	The first half was played to a scoreless draw. Both teams had
	only two possessions to work with. Brookline gained the early
	edge in field position. The Titans then surged forward with
	two long runs. Nick Ault saved a touchdown with a nice tackle
	at the ten yard line. Good stops by Keyshawn Palmer and Aidan
	Logan forced West Mifflin back.

	Brookline took possession at their own twenty-seven yard line.
	A twelve yard pass from Nick Roell to Marques Watson and two
	long runs by Palmer moved the ball to the Titan nineteen, but
	time ran out on the promising drive.

	The second half belonged to Brookline. The Knights began with
	a flurry, powering their way forward on the legs of Palmer and
	Watson. A seven yard TD run by Keyshawn and a good conversion
	by Marques put the Knights ahead 8-0.

	A fumble on the Titans next possession was scooped up by Nick
	DelMastro at the West Mifflin thirty-five yard line. Roell
	then connected with Logan across the middle for twelve yards.
	Brenton Morefield followed with a twenty-three yard scamper
	through the red zone for the Knight's second score. Dominic
	Leonard added a deuce to make the score 16-0.

	With time running short, a West Mifflin runner broke free and
	led the Brookline defenders on a forty-seven yard chase. Tyler
	Newton tracked down the runaway and dropped him twenty yards
	short of the goal. With two minutes left, a Titan runner found
	the endzone to deny the Knights shutout bid.

	There was time left for one more rush of excitement. On the
	game's final play, Morefield broke free for a thirty-five yard
	run into Titan territory. The buzzer sounded to end the game.
	The little Knights had earned their first victory. They proved
	that hard work and teamwork actually works. Way to go Knights!

 

	WEEK #2 - September 4, 2010

	9-UNDER

	West Mifflin 30 - BROOKLINE 0

	NOTES: Coach Mike and the nine-year olds had a difficult time
	with the Titans of West Mifflin. Brookline was soundly beaten
	on both sides of the ball. The Knights, slightly understaffed
	with a thin sixteen-man roster, took one squarely on the chin.
	Nothing seemed to go as planned.

	Even the halftime show had glitches. The cheerleaders were on
	the field doing their dance routine when, without warning, the
	sound system shut off. The girls all stopped in their tracks.
	"What happened", one shouted. The show resumed. The music was
	interrupted twice more before they finished. By the third time
	the girls had perfected the art of recovery.

	After the game some of the players and fans were wondering to
	themselves what had just happened. Take a cue from the girls.
	Practice makes perfect. This was just one game and it's a long
	season. There's plenty of time to recover. Keep your chins up.

 

	WEEK #2 - September 4, 2010

	10-UNDER

	BROOKLINE 36 - West Mifflin 14

	Scoring Summary:

	Quran Powe 10 run (Darryl Daniels run)
	Darryl Daniels 10 run (Quran Powe run)
	Quran Powe 5 run (conversion failed)
	Brent Ivory 1 run (Darryl Daniels pass from Brent Ivory)
	Quran Powe 92 run (conversion failed)

	Fumble Recovery: Khalil Weathers, Cullin Baker, Will Rupert

	NOTES: Coach Joe Nicholas and the ten-year old Knights began
	their season by walloping the West Mifflin Titans. The final
	score read 36-14. Don't let the fourteen points fool anyone.
	This was a good old-fashioned blowout, Brookline style.

	Khalil Weathers opened the game by recovering a Titan fumble
	on their first play from scrimmage. Two plays later, Quran
	Powe scored from ten yards out. A Darryl Daniels conversion
	made the score 8-0.

	Good defense by Powe and Daejon Brentley pushed West Mifflin
	back and forced a punt. Three plays later Daniels added his
	own ten yard scoring run, followed by a Powe conversion dash.

	Cullin Baker recovered a fumble on West Mifflin's next drive.
	Quarterback Brent Ivory wasted no time engineering the Knights
	third score. A twenty-one yard pass play to Weathers led to a
	five yard burst by Powe, increasing the score to 22-0.

	Three minutes later, Will Rupert pounced on yet another loose
	ball to begin Brookline's fourth series. Daniels covered forty
	yards on the ground before Ivory punched the ball into the
	endzone from the one yard line. The halftime score was 30-0.

	The Knights kept the pressure on throughout the third quarter.
	Endzone savy Quran Powe added some exclamation points to the
	Brookline romp with a ninety-two yard dash, bringing his game
	tally to twenty points on three touchdowns and a conversion.

	West Mifflin got on the scoreboard twice in the last minutes
	to bring some measure of respectability to the final score.
	Don't be fooled. Coach Joe's Knights trounced the Titans.

 

	WEEK #2 - September 4, 2010

	11-UNDER

	West Mifflin 40 - BROOKLINE 0

	NOTES: The eleven-year olds were out-hustled, out-played and
	out-matched by the feisty Titans of West Mifflin. The final
	score was 40-0. It could have been worse. There was that one
	moment, late in the game, when Anthony Johnson broke loose and
	lumbered thirty yards into the Titan redzone. A turnover on
	the next play was like brain-freeze. It was that kind of day.
