Warriors Whipped

On Thursday, 10/16, the middle school football team traveled to Mariemont.  I just want to let the team know how much I appreciate all the amazing tackles, catches and blocks that make taking photos so much fun!  I think we also saw some 'excessive blocking' by Pierson Rogers.....but we will get to that later.  (Note The Blind Side reference.... )  Due to missing press time....I am sticking to just the facts...as interpreted by my reporters.  :)

1st qtr:  Joey Edmonds #5  passed to Moe Mitchell #9 for a touchdown.  Wyoming 6 - Mariemont 0.  Pierson Rogers #22 ran for 39 yards for the TD and the PAT.  Wyoming 14 - Mariemont 0.  Our defense held the Warriors and kept them out of the end-zone.  Elijah McGee #30 had a beautiful 20 yard run.

2nd qtr:  Joey passed to Moe, again, for a 25 yard TD pass.  Pierson ran it in for the PAT.  Wyoming 22 - Mariemont 0.  Shep Marty #50, made a great tackle on a Warrior receiver forcing the ball out of his hands.  Conner Flood #1 assisted on the tackle.  Pierson took the ball 72 yards to another Wyoming touchdown.  Wyoming 28 - Mariemont 0.

Our defense held Mariemont even though the Warriors' drive was helped by 3 big Wyoming penalties.  This is where the 'excessive blocking' came in.  Pierson made a great block that flattened the little Warrior.  Even though a penalty was called, my photo does not support the call.... :)  The crowd went a bit restless for the remainder of the game, making sure to remind the officiating staff about proper blocking technique.  It was about this time that Moe made his amazing one handed catch for a TD!  The crowd went wild. :)  Eli Feazell #84 caught a pass from Joey for the PAT.  Wyoming 36 - Mariemont 0.

3rd qtr:  Mariemont scored on their 1st drive of the 2nd half.  Wyoming 36  -  Mariemont 8.  The next score was a one man show......Noah Fershtman #83 caught a 25 yard pass for the touchdown.  Noah then kicked the PAT.  If only he would have thrown the ball to himself!  Wyoming 43 - Mariemont 8.

4th qtr:  Sean Gildea #19 and Conner Flood #1 made a nice stop to prevent a Mariemont touchdown.  The Cowboy defense then held the Warriors' offense, turning the ball over on downs.

Final score:  Wyoming  43 - Mariemont 8

Bonus offensive highlight:  A beautiful ONE handed catch by Moe Mitchell in the end-zone for a touchdown

Defensive highlights:  Shep Marty's awesome tackle forcing a fumble which lead to Pierson's 72 yrd run for a touchdown

Look for an upcoming report for last night's match-up with Indian Hill.  I know you all are on pins & needles...wondering which team won.  Go ahead...take a guess!
