	WEEK #7 - October 14, 2012                @ Montour High School

	9-UNDER

	BROOKLINE 8 - Montour 6

	Scoring Summary:

	Antwain Carter 45 run (Mekhi Gay run)

	Fumble Recovery: Grant Hamilton, Visawn Pennix
	Interception: Jamyle Liebro

	NOTES: Brookline's Nines traveled to Montour High School for a
	battle with the first-place Montour Spartans. This was a big
	test for the Knights and it turned out to be quite a struggle.
	In another hair-raising finish, Brookline held on and put down
	a late-game Spartan uprising to claim an 8-6 victory.

	This Clash of Titans began with Brookline taking the opening
	kickoff and driving downfield. The Knights got inside the ten
	yard line but were stopped short of the goal. After that threat
	subsided, the game became a slugging match near midfield, with
	neither team able to mount an offensive charge.

	With time ticking away, Jamyle Liebro took a Grant Hamilton
	pass and rumbled twenty yards before being brought down at the
	buzzer. The first half ended in a scoreless tie.

	The second half began with Montour driving downfield. The march
	took them to the Knight fifteen yard line before being brought
	to an end by a Liebro interception. Brookline's offense seized
	the moment. Antwain Carter clicked off two nice runs, then
	burst forth with a forty-five yard endzone eruption. Mekhi Gay
	rammed it up the middle for the two-point conversion, giving
	Brookline an 8-0 advantage with one quarter left to play.

	Montour struck quickly. A forty-eight yard scoring dash closed
	the gap to just two points. The Spartans tried running for the
	conversion but were stopped cold by Brandon McGough. Brookline
	clung to an 8-6 lead, and there was still plenty of time left.
	Brookline needed to take control and run down the clock.

	The Knights offense ran four plays and failed to gain a first
	down. Montour took possession with four minutes to work with.
	Three first downs put them at the Knight twenty yard line with
	1:36 remaining. On the next play a Spartan broke free and ran
	for a touchdown. Every Knights fan breathed a sigh of relief
	when they saw the yellow flag on the turf. A Montour penalty
	negated the score and put the ball back in the field of play.

	For the Knight defense, the pressure was on and they responded
	with gritty determination. Two plays later, a third down sack
	by Carter and Zachary Kalsek set the Spartans back ten yards.
	A fourth down fumble was recovered by Visawn Pennix with only
	twenty-five seconds to go in the game. Brookline's Nines had
	put down the Spartan Menace, earning themselves a worthy win.

	Coach Bruce and his Knights proved themselves to be legitimate
	contenders today. They went toe-to-toe with another good team
	and beat them on even terms, albeit their modus operandi of
	keeping everyone on the edge of the seats until the last minute
	leaves something to be desired. Their 5-1 record speaks for
	itself. Great job, Knights. Keep working hard and improving.

 

	WEEK #7 - October 14, 2012                @ Montour High School

	10-UNDER

	BROOKLINE 34 - Montour 0

	Scoring Summary:

	Mason Ventrone 56 run (Dominic Leonard run)
	Jack Sullivan 17 pass from Nick Roell (Marques Watson run)
	Mason Ventrone 35 run (conversion failed)
	Mason Ventrone 55 interception return (conversion failed)
	Dante Douglas 12 run (conversion failed)

	Fumble Recovery: Marques Watson (2), Mason Ventrone, Nick Roell
	Interception: Mason Ventrone

	NOTES: Coach Donnie and his Wild Stallions raised their league
	leading record to 6-0 by crushing the Montour Spartans, 34-0.
	Like an inexorable force, the galloping steeds, clad in green
	and black, stampeded up and down the football field, leaving a
	legion of battered and bruised Spartans in their wake.

	Brookline scored on their first possession, a fifty-six yard
	dash by Mason Ventrone. A conversion run by Dominic Leonard put
	the Knights on top 8-0. Montour's offense began the game moving
	in reverse, forced back by two J.B. Nelson aggravated assaults.
	Brookline took the ball and marched downfield again, this time
	scoring on a seventeen yard pass from Nick Roell to Jack
	Sullivan. Marques Watson aced the conversion for a 16-0 lead.

	A Spartan turnover gave the ball back to Brookline. Ventrone
	added another six to the point parade with a thirty-five yard
	touchdown run. Another Brookline takeaway gave the Knights one
	more chance before halftime. Roell marched the offense to the
	Montour ten yard line before coming up short on fourth down
	with just seconds to go. The score at intermission was 22-0.

	Midway through the third quarter, Ventrone ran an interception
	back fifty-five yards for his third touchdown of the day. At
	this point the second team entered the game and made the most
	of their opportunity. The defensive subs snuffed the Spartans,
	forcing a punt. Jahmaine Hatten returned the kick twenty yards
	to the Montour thirty-two yard line.

	Reserve quarterback Sullivan then led the team on one final
	charge. Jack's seventeen yard run set up a twelve yard scoring
	scamper by Dante Douglas, increasing Brookline's point total to
	thirty-four. The final five minutes saw the Knights defense
	push the Spartans back into a fourth and thirty-one. One final
	punt and a kind knee by Sullivan ended the lopsided slaughter.

	Brookline's offense gained 244 total yards. The Knights ran the
	ball thirty-one times for 227. Mason Ventrone led all runners
	with 113 yards on six carries. Marques Watson powered his way
	to sixty-four yards on twelve touches, and Dominic Leonard
	contributed twenty-one on four runs.

	On the other side of the scrimmage line, Montour runners were
	held to minus thirty-three yards on fourteen carries. A seven
	yard pass completion bolstered their net deficit to a negative
	sum of twenty-six. That's called defensive domination.

	That's Brookline Knights football, and it's coming your way!

	Next week it's on to West Mifflin. If the Titan's had any sense
	they'd run for the hills, because Coach Donnie and his herd of
	wild horses is on the loose and blazing a trail of destruction.

  

  

  

  

 

	WEEK #7 - October 14, 2012                @ Montour High School

	11-UNDER

	Montour 36 - BROOKLINE 16

	Scoring Summary:

	Jonathan Morin 60 pass from Nathan Ault
		(Anthony Carrington run)
	Nathan Ault 70 run (Anthony Carrington run)

	NOTES: The Knights season record dropped to 1-5 after a 36-16
	loss to Montour. The Spartans racked up a 30-0 lead during the
	first half. Brookline scored twice in the second half to put a
	smile on the faces in the stands. Next Saturday's game versus
	West Mifflin would be a good time to put the struggles of the
	past three weeks behind and get back that winning feeling.

 

	WEEK #7 - October 13, 2012                  @ Park Avenue Field

	13-UNDER

	Bethel Park 20 - BROOKLINE 0

	Fumble Recovery: D'onte James, Sharron Steave, Richard Stone,
			 Christian Frazier.

	NOTES: The Brookline Knights traveled to Park Avenue Field for
	a game under the lights against the Bethel Park Hawks. It was
	Senior Recognition Night for the Hawks and they made the most
	of the occasion, shutting out the Knights by a score of 20-0.

	The first half was close. Neither offense was able to generate
	any momentum. While Bethel was able to move the ball with some
	consistency, turnovers stymied their efforts. The same could be
	said for Brookline. The Knights had a couple nice gains but
	could not put together any sustained movement.

	Midway through the second quarter, the Hawks broke the ice with
	a sixty-seven yard drive, capped off by a nineteen yard scoring
	run. Another Bethel scoring opportunity with seconds remaining
	was denied by a D'onte James sack as time expired. At halftime
	the Hawks held a 6-0 lead.

	The Knights made their deepest penetration into Hawk territory
	on their first second half possession. Highlighted by a long
	pass from Brent Ivory to Christian Frazier, Brookline drove to
	the Bethel twenty before turning the ball over on downs. A Hawk
	back broke free two plays later on a sixty-eight yard run to
	increase the Bethel advantage to 12-0.

	A touchdown on their next possession put the Hawks up 20-0 and
	the game was over. Brookline's second team took the field and
	finished the contest. Ryan Hough made a couple nice tackles on
	defense to keep the Hawks from causing any further distress.
	For Bethel Park it was sweet revenge after four consecutive
	defeats in the past three years to the Knights.

	Brookline as a whole did not play well. The defense got lucky
	on a few accurate passes that were dropped by Bethel receivers.
	The Hawks probably should have scored another two touchdowns.
	On the flip side, Brookline completed only five of fourteen
	passes for a mere forty-two yards while the Knights rushing
	attack took the night off.
