Game 2, September 8, 2007 - Marple Tigers

The Termites lost a hard-fought game 6-0 to the Marple Tigers on Saturday. Our offense couldn’t get it going but our defense shined, keeping the 2006 Eastern Division Champions to only six points. The combination of Michael “Animal” Porreca rushing the passer along with Brody Butler and Gaige Lennon defending potential receivers led to several incomplete passes by Marple. Also, Bobby Bell caused a Tigers’ fumble which David “Reeses” Bodkin recovered. In the third quarter, Jim Moorhead laid a fantastic hit on a Tigers’ running back while Andrew Ketler and Paul Munro finished off the tackle. Toby Gavin, Michael Ventura, Brandon Anderson, Michael Clark, Nicholas Carmona, Brett McLaughlin, and Shane Dougherty all got in on gang tackles for the Termites defense and in the last series, Billy Betson showed how it was done with a textbook wrap-and-drive hit! For the offense, Jeff Dalessio, Noah States and Michael Davidson all had good carries in the backfield. Lastly, Brendan Walker, Colin Conmy, Michael Gallager, and Walter Bernard all played well but the Tiger’s defense proved very tough all day long. Still looking for our first offensive points, the Termites gear up for next week’s Homecoming game. Good luck, boys!
