It's hard to believe that nine years have passed since the
	terrorist attacks of 9/11/01. Many of the players we came to
	watch today were only babies then. Some had not yet been born.
	The March of Time is constant, as is the threat of terrorism
	both here and abroad. Let's never forget the feelings of utter
	disbelief, sadness and loss experienced on that terrible day.

	We are still at war, and over 100,000 of our brave sons and
	daughters are deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan, struggling
	every day to keep us safe here at home. Thousands have made
	the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedom. Honor them!

 

	WEEK #3 - September 11, 2010

	8-UNDER

	Montour 8 - BROOKLINE 6

	Scoring Summary:

	Marques Watson 80 run (conversion failed)

	NOTES: Brookline's little Knights lost a heart-breaker to the
	Montour Spartans, 8-6. For twenty-nine minutes Brookline held
	on to a slim 6-0 lead only to see it vanish with three minutes
	to go. It was a tough loss, but the team played a solid game.

	Marques Watson got things rolling right from the start with an
	eighty yard TD on Brookline's first drive. A failed conversion
	held the Knights to only six points. Another promising second
	quarter drive ended with a fumble at the Spartan goal line.

	The Brookline defense kept the Montour attack under control
	until late in the fourth quarter. With the clock ticking down,
	a Spartan runner found a hole and never looked back, tying the
	game at 6-all. A good conversion run gave Montour a two-point
	edge and that was enough to secure the victory.

	WEEK #3 - September 11, 2010

	10-UNDER

	BROOKLINE 22 - Montour 14

	Scoring Summary:

	Darryl Daniels 40 run (conversion failed)
	Quran Powe 20 run (Darryl Daniels pass from Brent Ivory)
	Quran Powe 70 pass from Brent Ivory
		(Darryl Daniels pass from Brent Ivory)

	NOTES: The ten-year olds made it two-in-a-row with a stunning,
	22-14 last-minute triumph over the Montour Spartans. This
	Knights team is loaded with talent and speed. Now we know that
	they have the heart to meet a challenge and fight to the end.

	Darryl Daniels started the show with a forty yard touchdown
	run in the first quarter. Quran Powe followed with a twenty
	yard score. A successful conversion toss from Brent Ivory to
	Daniels gave the Knights a 14-6 lead at halftime.

	The Spartans evened the score at 14-14 with a touchdown in the
	third quarter. Both teams stood toe-to-toe and duked it out
	for the remaining fifteen minutes as the game clock ticked
	towards overtime.

	Then, with thirty seconds to go in regulation, Powe took a
	pass from Ivory and turned on the after-burners. Seventy yards
	later, the endzone celebration began. Ivory connected with
	Daniels to put the final two points on the board. Game Over.

	It's good to see the Knights showing the kind of confidence
	and drive necessary to take the close games. That is the mark
	of a winner. That alone is cause for celebration. Go Knights!

 

	WEEK #3 - September 11, 2010

	11-UNDER

	Montour 36 - BROOKLINE 8

	Scoring Summary:

	Anthony Johnson 70 run (Brady Gault pass from Richard Stone)

	NOTES: The eleven-year olds had another tough game, falling
	36-8 to the Montour Spartans. The loss was a difficult pill
	to swallow. The team did, however, show signs of improvement
	over last week.

	The defense continued to struggle plugging the gaps, but the
	slumbering offense began to awaken. Quarterback Richard Stone
	and Anthony Johnson connected for two long touchdown passes.
	To everyone's disappointment, each was called back because of
	penalties. Both efforts could have sparked a turn-around.

	Late in the game, the Knights finally scored one that counted.
	Johnson grabbed a handoff and broke loose for the third time.
	Seventy yards downfield Anthony had bagged the Knights first
	six-pack of the season. Having tasted success, Stone hooked
	up with Brady Gault for a good conversion and two more points.
	Success breeds success. It's a start!

 

	WEEK #3 - September 11, 2010

	13-UNDER

	BROOKLINE 44 - Carlynton 0

	Scoring Summary:

	Joey Kalsek 4 run (conversion failed)
	Connor McGinnis 1 run (Khalil Sanders run)
	Malik Petite 30 pass from Connor McGinnis (conversion failed)
	Donnie West 6 run (Adam Ottaviano pass from Connor McGinnis)
	Tyion Powe 35 run (Malik Petite pass from Connor McGinnis)
	Taylor Thornton 7 run (Edgard Fumbula run)

	Interception: Khalil Sanders, Adam Ottaviano, Anthony Pham (2)
	Fumble Recovery: Marty Shulik, Connor McGinnis, Jeff Arnold,
			 Taylor Thornton.

	NOTES: Coach Donnie and his Mighty Knights laid seige to the
	Carlynton Athletic Complex. With guns blazing and artillery
	pounding, they totally obliterated the hometown Cougars in
	this the second battle of their 2010 blitzkrieg campaign.

	The Knights took a while to get their offensive guns firing,
	smoldering menacingly on their first drive. A Khalil Sanders
	interception eight minutes into the game was the spark that
	ignited the firestorm. The next 32 minutes were frightening.

	Brookline's defense formed the vanguard of the Knight attack.
	They held the Cougars to minus-45 total yards and forced six
	turnovers to scorch a wide path for Connor McGinnis and the
	offense. Sanders led all rushers with over 100 yards. Donnie
	West, Malik Petite, Tyion Powe, Taylor Thornton, Joey Kalsek
	and McGinnis added sizable territorial gains of their own.

	Nearly blinded by the sheer intensity of the Brookline attack,
	it was difficult to identify individual explosions. But, there
	were certain blasts that rose above the inferno. At D plus-19
	minutes, a bad snap sent quarterback McGinnis on a wild chase.
	Connor recovered the loose ball, scrambled to his left, and
	unleashed a perfect pass to Petite for Brookline's third
	touchdown. Moments later, linebacker Michael Roper sent chills
	through the crowd with a bone-crunching hit on a Carlynton
	runner to end the first half.

	A sack by Garrett Martin midway through the final quarter gave
	the Knights one last possession. With 1:30 remaining and the
	Cougars nearing exhaustion, Taylor Thornton administered the
	coup-de-grace. His scoring run brought an end to the conflict.
	In a moment of irony, Brookline's victorious warriors could
	hear the sound of a nearby church bell as it began to toll.
