NOTES: Coach Donnie and the defending champion Mighty Knights
of Brookline came to Montour High School for the title matchup
against the Jaguars of Thomas-Jefferson. In a repeat of last
year's championship game, the Knights once again defeated the
Jaguars, this time by the score of 26-0.
Brookline dominated the contest from start to finish. When the
Montour stadium game clock had run its course, Brookline's
proud warriors hoisted the glimmering Super Bowl trophy and
for the second time proclaimed the Knights as Number One!
Using their powerful running game and menacing defensive front,
the Knights overwhelmed the Jaguars. At no point in time was
there the slightest doubt as to who was in charge on this day.
The Brookline Knights put on a football clinic.
Thomas-Jefferson won the coin toss and took first possession.
A twenty-two yard run on their second play from scrimmage moved
them across midfield. The Jaguars reached the Knights forty-one
yard line before being forced to punt. A botched exchange on a
handoff resulted in a Knight turnover at the thirty-nine. The
Jaguars were again pushed back and forced to punt.
Brookline took control on their fourteen yard line and went on
a fifteen-play drive, capped off by Marques Watson's two yard
touchdown plunge. A conversion toss from Nick Roell to Jack
Sullivan gave the Knights an 8-0 second quarter lead.
At the three minute mark, Jonathan Morin added another six-pack
with a fifty-one yard scoring run to increase the point spread
to 14-0. As the first half wound down, Brookline again charged
into Jaguar territory. A twelve-play drive took Brookline all
the way to the Thomas-Jefferson one yard line. Time expired as
the Knights offense tried to quickly line up for a final play.
Brookline took the kickoff to start the second half and picked
up where they left off. A sixty-seven yard pass from Roell to
Morin increased the Knights advantage to 20-0. Mason Ventrone
recovered a Jaguar fumble on their next series, then powered
the Knights downfield with three strong runs. With one minute
to go in the third quarter, Watson rumbled twenty-eight yards
down the sideline for his second touchdown, and a 26-0 lead.
The Brookline reserves entered the game and played the entire
fourth quarter. The defenders did a nice job holding back a
brief Jaguar incursion. The offense, led by backup quarterback
Jordan Bonilla, successfully moved the sticks to help manage
the time clock. Bonilla finished the game by taking two knees.
When the buzzer sounded, the players began the celebration.
The Brookline Knights had successfully defended their crown
and were now the BACK-TO-BACK Super Bowl Champions!
By the numbers:
Brookline's offense gained 338 yards total offense. The Knights
ran for 242 yards on forty carries and added another ninety-six
through the air. Knight rushers include Watson 21/135, Ventrone
9/51, Morin 1/51, Jahmaine Hatten 2/7, Bonilla 4/3, Roell 1/-1,
Dante Douglas 1/-1 and Deshaun Alexander 1/-3. Roell completed
six of nine passes. Morin caught three for eighty-one yards,
Sullivan grabbed two for fifteen and Ventrone hauled in one for
no gain. The Knights were penalized four times for thirty-five
yards, made eleven first downs and committed three turnovers.
Thomas-Jefferson accumulated fifty-three total yards, all on
the ground. They rushed the ball twenty-seven times and threw
two errant passes. The Jaguars were penalized five times for a
loss of thirty yards, committed two turnovers and had three
first downs. The Knights defense did a super job.
Brookline finished with a 9-1 record. Over the course of the
year, the Knights outscored their ten opponents by a combined
score of 318-56, including six shutout wins. The offense was
led by the four horsemen: Watson, Ventrone, Morin and Roell.
Together they combined for forty-one touchdowns. Ventrone had
fourteen, followed by Morin's thirteen and Watson's eleven.
Roell ran for one score and passed for another nine. This was
the first time in forty years that a Knight team has had four
players producing ten touchdowns or more.
Over the past three seasons, this talented group of players has
forged their way to a 30-2 record, including three trips to the
title game and two Super Bowl victories. For Coach Don, this is
his seventh championship with the Knights program (2004, 2006,
2007, 2009, 2010, 2012 and 2013). An eighth title came as an
assistant coach in 1998. That's how legends are made.

NOTES: Coach Brian Nicholas and his thirteen-year old Brookline
Knights descended upon Montour High School for their 2013 SSYFL
Super Bowl matchup with the Bethel Park Hawks. Two weeks ago,
the Knights won a thrilling overtime victory over the Hawks.
The title game was a highly anticipated battle, with each team
playing for both pride and the coveted season championship.
The Knights and the Hawks put on quite a show. They fought like
warriors, two rival clans dueling for south suburban supremacy.
The game hung in the balance until midway through the final
period. After forty minutes the guns were silenced. Brookline's
Knights had prevailed over Bethel's Hawks by the score of 20-6.
After eleven long weeks of blood, sweat and toil, the Knights
were crowned as the Super Bowl Champions!
The Knights took the opening kickoff and quickly marched to the
Bethel twenty-five. The Hawks resistance stiffened. They pushed
the Knights back fourteen yards. Bethel took over on their own
thirty-nine yard line and launched an eleven-play touchdown
drive. A one yard plunge gave Bethel Park a 6-0 lead.
Both Brookline and Bethel exchanged the ball at midfield after
good defensive efforts. At the five minute mark of the second
quarter, the Knights began a drive from their own thirty-five.
Two long runs by Quran Powe positioned Brookline in the Bethel
redzone. The Knights battered their way forward to the Hawk two
yard line. With 1:26 remaining in the half, Raekwon Caldwell
covered the remaining distance to tie the game. A two-pointer
by Powe put Brookline on top, 8-6, going into halftime.
Brookline kicked off to begin the second half. A penalty on the
return pushed the Hawks back to their twenty-four yard line.
Bethel then began a spirited drive downfield. Some good running
and a forty-two yard pass reception advanced the Hawks all the
way to the Brookline twelve. With their backs to the wall, the
Knight defense rose to the occasion, forcing a fumble that was
recovered by Justin Howell at the ten. It was a turning point.
The Knights seized the momentum. Two hard runs moved the sticks
forward ten yards. Then Powe broke free on an eighty yard dash
to the endzone. Once Quran passed the front line, he hit the
afterburner and it was off to the races. Brookline now led by
the score of 14-6. The Hawks were visibly shaken from the
sudden and dramatic change of fortunes.
The Knight defenders forced another Bethel punt. Brookline used
the opportunity to put the game away. As the third quarter came
to an end, the Knights began another foray into Hawk territory.
Powe ran the ball six times for forty-six yards and three first
downs. From the Hawk five yard line, Curtis Bradley put the
icing on the cake with a scoring run to increase the Brookline
lead to 20-6. With only five minutes remaining, the fat lady
began to sing her siren's song.
After a final failed offensive series, the Hawks ceded the ball
to the Knights. With 1:34 left on the clock, quarterback Jeremy
Jenkins took three successive knees. When the buzzer sounded,
the Knights players, coaches and fans burst into celebration.
The Brookline Knights are the undisputed 2013 SSYFL Champions!
By the numbers:
Brookline gained 227 total yards, all on the ground. The Knight
rushers include Powe 21/204, Caldwell 5/26, Bradley 5/8 and
Jenkins 3/-11. Brookline attempted two incomplete passes, were
penalized only twice for fifteen yards, and had no turnovers.
The offense registered eight first downs.
Bethel Park had 158 yards offense on the day, running the ball
thirty-three times for 116 and passed once for forty-two. The
Hawks moved the sticks seven times, committed three penalties
for twenty yards, and had one critical third quarter turnover.
The victory capped off an impressive 9-0 season in which the
Knights outscored their opponents by the combined score of
270-96. Led by the strong offensive and defensive play of Quran
Powe, who scored 116 points this year, Brookline came together
as a team, put aside their early-season jitters, and emerged
as one of the best football clubs in Southwestern Pennsylvania.
For Coach Brian Nicholas, it was a fitting end to his stellar
career as an instructor and mentor with the Knights program.
After fifteen years on the sidelines, Brian retired after the
2007 season. He made a comeback this year, and proved that the
number sixteen truly can be sweet. The Knights championship is
the fifth in Coach Brian's legendary tenure.
Speaking of career achievements, this game was significant for
another Brookline Knight. Quran Powe's eight points gave him a
grand total of 500 points in his four years with the Knights.
Quran has lit up the scoreboard seventy-eight times and added
sixteen two-point conversions. The prolific speedster is the
only Brookline Knight to reach the five hundred point mark.
