Game 5 - Lower Perkiomen

The 80lb JV Termites went into Saturday’s game with Lower Perkiomen still looking for their first win. Instead, we were handed a 25-0 loss at the hands of the Longhorns. Our offense was still troubled by blocking and missed snaps. The defense had trouble with missed tackles on the big, fast, Longhorn running back, but David Bodkin, Michael Clark, Jared Babe, Toby Gavin, Michael Ventura and Billy Betson got in on gang tackles to stop him. In the first quarter, Jim Moorhead spoted a QB sneak on a fake handoff and made a nice open-field tackle. Mike Porreca got hurt but bounced back from one problematic pile-up. On the Longhorn’s first touchdown, Walter Bernard make great pursuit, but just ran out of field before catching the ball carrier. Bobby Bell Jr., Noah States, and Jeff Dalessio saved a touchdown on the play with a nice tackle after a long pursuit immediately before halftime. Dalessio also stuffed two Point After Attempts with tackles in the backfield. It was a tough day, but we’re still fighting! Thanks to the coaches, parents, team moms, and cheerleaders for all your support. Lastly, get well soon to Coach Paul! You were missed!
