C
Team Wins, But Kusiak Lost For Year
The Beverly C Team
returned home for the first time in 5 weeks to bright skies and
cheering fans and walked away with their heads high as the "DOG
POUND DEFENSE" took a big bite out of a scrappy Triton club
and a step closer to the playoffs. Once again the "D" came
up huge shutting out Triton 20-0. "We paid a high price for this
win " said Head Coach Nardella. "Jared Kusiak
broke his right arm and looks to be lost
for the balance of the season. Kuz has played great for us all year
and is a team leader he will be missed."
Beverly for the sixth
week in a row won the coin toss and on the first play from scrimmage
Kus went off tackle for 50 yards and a quick 6. Jason Fullerton hit
Matt McAniff for his first catch of the year and the extra point.
Beverly's D was playing one of their hardest hitting games of the
season stopping Triton in their tracks forcing them to punt. JP Kehoe
(call me TD Kehoe) went 60 yards
and six more. As nice as JP's run was the
fans are still buzzing about "The Block." It appeared that a
Triton defender had JP lined up when J Michael Nardella line
him up and sent him flying clearing the path for JP. The Triton player
had to be helped from the field
still wondering what truck hit him.( he
was alright but took the rest of the day off) JP said" I never
saw J's block but I did hear it and I knew J hit some one."
Coach Richardson special teams where hitting everything in sight,
"J's hit sparked the team and lifted the level of play by
everyone."
The D was still the
story stopping everything that Triton came up with. Late in the first
half Sean Mitchell knocked down a long pass to end a Triton drive.
Dlyan (not around my end )Kline played his best game on D. "Just
when you think he can't play it any better he does! Dylan is a big
strong kid but his biggest asset is he plays smart he knows what to
do at all times out there" said coach and uncle Nardella. Dylan
however was not the only one out there Nathan (big dog) Verry had
another strong game make several big hits. Triple J, Andrew Belmonte,
Pat Bailey, Fullerton and Nardella all had strong games on
"D"
The Triton D was tough
causing the Beverly O to struggle at times. Both Quarterbacks
(Fullerton and Andrew Frates ) played well moving their teams and
keeping Triton off balance. "Ben Lawler had a big block on Kuz's
run" said coach McNeil. "It's nice to see that the hard work
is paying off the team" he said.
The last score of the
day came when TD Kehoe took another punt 50 yards and six more behind
blocks by Verry, Fullerton and Nardella. "TD Kehoe has a nose for
the end zone" said coach" and he wants the ball when it
counts" I'm a very lucky coach to have
the talent I have and the fact that they
are good young men." The extra point was ugly Beverly jumped
offside making it a very long extra point. Frates threw the ball where
only Dlyan could catch it. Dylan had three guys on him, he juggled the
ball and stretched for the line carry a Triton player with him to end
the days scoring.
