I need a run down waterboy.... I was at my Brother-inlaws funeral service?

They were up 24-21 at the half and have scored every possession in the 2nd half. Wright got injured and McAndrew got hurt earlier this week. Justin is over 400 yards again with 6 TD passes.

thanks jaybow!!!

The team returned to Dover early this morning.  

Well, it was a slow start, of course.  The source of the problem (to me) was Huntingdon's no huddle offense.  They rapidly got the plays off that kept Wesley's defense unprepared.  They also used a D-Read scheme and lined up right away to get the call from the line.  This allowed for some open lanes and the Hawks took a big advantage of it. It took quite a bit for the defense to get adjusted to lining up quickly.   In the second half, the adjustments made by the defense mitigated the advantages that Huntingdon had.  They were quicker in lining up and pretty much knew the playbook by then.  The secondary was able to predict the patterns and a pair of interceptions resulted, one a return for TD.  I think this was a great experience for both the players and the coaches.

Huntingdon really played a spirited first half.  By keeping the Defense off-kilter, they were able to execute quite well. Wesley's offense was slow to start, but Sottilaire did a great job in reading the secondary and the rest is a 6 TD pass history.  Both Stevenson and Krout were able to outjump the safeties.    

Still over 100 yards in penalties, so there is more work to do.  Slowly but surely.

I was really impressed by the Huntingdon fans and the band.  Both really belied the small school size!   The team was really fired up and it showed.  For such a young program, Huntington has really done a stellar job.  I know the locker room needs some work though, hehehe......

Not much to add to Teamski's summary, good description of how it went. We pretty much knew going in that we would have to play a perfect game to be able to stay in it. We kept it close for a while but had some breakdowns in the third quarter and Wesley was able to pull away.
I'm glad we had the chance to play a top team and see how we measure up. We definitely still have a ways to go before we can be considered among the top programs.
Good luck to the Wolverines the rest of the way. I would like to see you guys break through finally and make it to Salem.


Go Hawks!

Slowly but surely is right. Wesley is down to 112 yards in penalties. Better but still needs work.

Ski pretty much said it all, but how about Justin Sottilare stepping in to the QB position with 400+ yards the past two weeks.

Well this is closer than it should be. That and Im getting mad at WDEL for playing nonstop commercials sometimes when they take a "break". It has gotten better though as the game went on.

Let me express my sincere apology for the internet issues we've been having.  We use a fairly complicated system that splits our internet and radio feeds in terms of commercials, and if a button isn't pressed we end remain in that commercial loop mode even when over-the-air is back to me.  Needless to say had I known what was going on I would have made sure our board operator (who is in just his 5th game himself) was aware.  The last thing I want to do is be 1,000 miles from home and not be able to be heard by people who want to hear me fight a cold and call a game.

It has happened before  but we will live through it. You and Jason are doing a great job. It is great that we have you to bring us the games. As far as Wesley has to travel to play, it is impossible for a lot of fans to make those trips.

Keep up the good work

Well, I couldn't hear a thing....But then again, I was standing on the roof of the pressbox!    Thank the lord for WDEL and their broadcast and Sean and Jason for doing a great job!
