Game 1, September 1, 2007 - Brandywine, DE

Our season opener was a disappointing one as we were shut out by Brandywine, Delaware 19-0. However, our kids showed a lot of heart and gave it their all until the very end. The Termites offensive line, including Brendan Walker and Billy Betson, had their hands full trying to keep out Brandywine’s good defensive line.Paul Munro, Michael Davidson, Jared Babe, and Noah States all had runs in which they had to fight their way out of the backfield. Gaige Lennon juked and cut his way for some good yardage near the end of the game, but unfortunately the clock caught up with him before he could scamper into the end zone. On the defensive side, Jim Moorhead was excellent at getting into the Warrior's backfield and Brett McLaughlin, David Bodkin, Andrew Ketler, Colin Conmy, Brody Butler, Michael Ventura, and Shane Dougherty, all recorded tackles and caused four Brandywine fumbles. One of those fumbles ended up as a turnover, recovered by Michael Porreca. The Termites defense also stopped two out of three of the Warrior's extra-point attempts. Our boys played hard all game and learned a few lessons about blocking and tackling along the way. With a good week of practice, they’ll bounce back for next week’s home game against the Marple Jr. Tigers!
