NOTES: Coach Joe Nicholas and Brookline's 11-Under Knights came
to Chartiers Valley High School to take on the Montour Spartans
in the 1st Annual Parkway Youth Football League Super Bowl.
The top-seeded Knights brought along an undefeated 9-0 record
and high hopes that this would be the year that Brookline would
end the Spartan playoff jinx and bring home a championship.
For the past two years, Brookline has defeated Montour in the
regular season, only to fall to the Spartans in the playoffs.
This year, the Knights were again victorious in the opening
contest and once more found themselves facing the dreaded
Spartan Menace as the final obstacle in their path to glory.
Brookline's players and fans arrived at Chartiers Valley's
Colt Stadium confident that the third time would be the charm.
Unfortunately for the Green and Black, Montour also showed up
brimming with confidence. In a bitterly-fought contest that
featured two evenly matched football teams, the Spartans
out-hustled, out-gunned and out-played the Mighty Knights.
They vanquished Brookline by the score of 22-8.
The game began ominously for the Knights. Starting from near
midfield, Montour scored on their third play from scrimmage.
It was a forty-nine yard run by Number Six, Zachary Carletti.
Luckily for the Knights, a penalty negated the six-pointer.
The referee's call did not, however, change the tone of the
game. Yellow flags, and Carletti the Spartan, would soon
become a persistent problem.
Brookline's defense rebounded from the near disaster and, two
plays later, forced a fumble that was recovered by Visawn
Pennix. The Knights offense took over and were held to just
nine yards on four snaps. The Spartans then seized control.
From their own forty-five yard line, Montour drove steadily
downfield. A fourth down conversion run and a sixteen yard
pass reception gave the Spartans a first down at the Knights
twenty-seven yard line. From there, Carletti covered the
remaining distance to the goal. A five yard, two-point sweep
on the next play earned the Spartans an 8-0 lead.
A booming kickoff put the Brookline offense back in possession
at their own thirteen. Knight runners powered the ball out to
the twenty-nine yard line. Two critical penalties reversed the
course and pushed them back to the Brookline seven.
On second and thirty-two, an option pass from Raeshawn Caldwell
to Jamyle Liebro advanced the pigskin twenty-three yards and
gave Brookline a fighting chance. An incomplete pass and a
third penalty killed the kharma and forced Brookline to punt.
The kick traveled only five yards, then bounced back to the
twenty-five before being downed. With great field position, the
Spartans went on the attack. Brookline's defenders held them in
place for three plays.
On fourth and ten, Carletti took a handoff and broke loose for
his second touchdown. This was followed by another successful
Spartan two-point conversion. The first half ended with Montour
firmly in command, 16-0.
Raeshawn Caldwell instilled new life into the Brookline attack
by returning the second half kickoff twenty-two yards to the
Brookline forty-seven. Caldwell then blasted forward with two
strong first down runs.
Raeshawn finished his skillful work by putting Brookline back
in the game with a twenty-one yard dash to the endzone. A good
conversion toss from Antwan Peterson to Antwain Carter cut the
Spartan advantage to eight points at 16-8.
The ensuing kickoff was well-covered and Montour was downed at
their own twenty-nine. Just as it looked like the Knights might
be on the verge of a comeback, the Spartans turned up the heat.
Two nice runs and an encroachment penalty pushed the ball past
midfield to the Brookline forty-three. The Spartans then handed
off to the swift and sure-footed Carletti, who found another
crease in the Knight line and went all the way for his third
endzone celebration of the game. Montour now led 22-8.
The Knights were down, but not yet out. Starting from their own
forty-three yard line, fine running by Pennix and Caldwell gave
Brookline a first down inside the Montour redzone. The Knights
advanced as far as the ten. The Spartan line stiffened. A huge
backfield tackle on fourth and one was the dagger that pierced
the Knights armor.
With eight minutes left in the game, Brookline's Knights were
teetering on the edge of elimination. The defense gallantly
fought on, holding Montour to just four yards and forcing a
punt. The Knights got one final chance at mounting a comeback.
A third down interception ended Brookline's title dreams and
sealed the victory for the Spartans. Montour ran out the final
four minutes to take the grand prize and proclaim themselves
as the 2014 PYFL Super Bowl champions.
By the numbers: Brookline gained 144 total yards. The Knights
rushed twenty-six times for 118 and gained twenty-six through
the air. Runners included Raeshawn Caldwell (12/100), Visawn
Pennix (6/26), Antwain Carter (3/1) and Antwan Peterson (5/-9).
Peterson was three-of-six passing for three yards and Caldwell
completed one-of-one for twenty-three. Receivers were Jamyle
Liebro (1/23), Carter (1/5) and Pennix (2/-2). Zaire Nelson
added five yards, and Caldwell twenty-two, on kick returns.
The Knights were penalized seven times for forty-five yards.
Montour gained 184 total yards. They rushed thirty-three times
for 160 yards and completed two-of-five passes for twenty-four.
They gained a further eight yards on kick returns and were
penalized four times for thirty yards.
The Spartans had six first downs to the Knights five. Both
teams lost one turnover. On the bright side, Brookline held
Montour to a yard or less on eighteen of their thirty-three
carries. It was a brutal afternoon in the frontline trenches.
Hats off to Montour's Zachary Carletti. The young Spartan has
been a thorn in Brookline's side for the past four years. His
three touchdown day and determined play on defense was a
performance worthy of the legendary Spartan warrior Leonidas.

THANKS FOR A GREAT SEASON
Although the loss to the Spartans in the Super Bowl is a bitter
disappointment, it is important to note what a spectacular run
of success these Knights have had in the past four years.
Since many of these players were eight years old, they have
compiled a 30-8 record, outscoring their opponents by a grand
total of 901-308. They have been to the Super Bowl twice in the
past three years and, although coming up short both times, have
represented the Brookline Knights with dignity and honor.
Congratulations to Brookline's 11-Under team on a fine season.
It really was a pleasure watching you play ...
