	WEEK #5 - September 29, 2012                  @ McGibbeny Field

	9-UNDER

	West Allegheny 18 - BROOKLINE 12

	Scoring Summary:

	Jamyle Liebro 42 pass from Grant Hamilton (conversion failed)
	Brandon McGough 31 pass from Grant Hamilton (conversion failed)

	Interception: Mekhi Gay

	NOTES: Brookline's nine-year olds suffered their first defeat
	of the season to the West Allegheny Indians in a heart-breaker,
	18-12. The Indians offense enjoyed an overwhelming advantage in
	time of possession and just kept coming, wearing down the
	Knight defense with their persistent resolve.

	The first half began with a quick West Allegheny score, then
	settled into a mid-field brawl. The Knight offense had trouble
	getting in sync and the defense bent but wouldn't break under
	the Indians relentless pressure. The halftime score was 6-0.

	West Allegheny scored again to open the second half and take a
	12-0 lead. The Knight offense went to the air and finally got
	on the board. A forty-two yard touchdown pass from quarterback
	Grant Hamilton to Jamyle Liebro made it a six-point game.

	The Indians struck again to open the fourth quarter with a long
	run to increase their lead to 18-6. Brookline countered with a
	second touchdown pass by Hamilton, this time a thirty-five
	yarder to Brandon McGough, to close the gap to 18-12.

	An onside kick by Brookline was recovered by West Allegheny,
	who went to the ground and ran out the clock.

	Despite coming up short against the Indians, the Knights played
	a good game, and were within striking distance until the final
	minutes. The defense, led by Mekhi Gay, played well despite
	spending a disproportionate amount of time on the field. By the
	time Brookline's offense got its game on track it was too late.

	It's time to buckle down and work hard this week at practice.
	Next Saturday's game against the Southside Sabres would be a
	great time to get back into the winner's column.

The Ventrone brothers got their start playing football for the Knights.

	NOTES: Brookline's ten-year olds increased their record to 5-0
	with a 26-6 drubbing of the West Allegheny Indians. The Knights
	controlled the game from start to finish.

	The game began with Brookline's Shane Woodhall recovering an
	onside kick attempt. The Knights offense took possession and
	mounted a seven-play, fifty-three yard drive for their first
	touchdown. Brookline's second scoring march, a sixty-seven
	yarder, was highlighted by runs of twenty and thirty-eight
	yards by Mason Ventrone, who added the six with a short plunge.

	A third Knight touchdown, another long dash by Ventrone, was
	called back due to a penalty. The halftime score was 14-0.

	Brookline increased their advantage to 20-0 with an eleven-play
	drive to start the second half, covering sixty-nine yards. West
	Allegheny got on the board late in the third quarter after a
	nice pass play positioned them at the Brookline ten yard line.
	It was the first TD allowed by the Knights defense this season.

	Another onside kick attempt was recovered by Dante Douglas. On
	the next play, Ventrone broke loose with a fifty-one yard run
	to finish off the day's scoring with the Knights ahead 26-6.

	In the fourth quarter, Jahmaine Hatten had a few good runs on
	offense and, on defense, Quinn Hunter combined with Aidan Logan
	to help keep the Indian attack in check.

	This was another strong win for Coach Don and his Wild Horses,
	who just wear opponents down with a persistent battering on
	both sides of the line of scrimmage. The offensive line played
	an excellent game. Kudos go out to left end Jack Sullivan, left
	tackle J.B. Nelson, left guard Zachary Munn, center Quinn
	Hunter, right guard Nick DelMastro, right tackle Ambre Hunter
	and right end Aidan Logan.
