COWBOYS WIN PRESTONE ANTI-FREEZE PEACH BOWL

  
   Arlington #2     (6-5)      13
   Arlington #3     (4-7)        7

 
    We finished the season with a win and again it was a total team effort. Everyone was able to contribute on both offense and defense.

   Our offensive and defensive line were the keys especially with the wind and freezing rain. We were able to grind out 160 yards on the ground and shut down their offense with our constant presence in their backfield. Mike Baxendale ignited our offense with perfect snaps crisp blocks along with linemen Will Goldsberry, Chris Schulstad, Sean Johlie and Patrick Curley. Shane Kelly led the offense and completed the only pass he threw all day. He hit the secondary receiver, Brian Hennelly, after both defensive players went with Brendan Murphy on the slant route. Hennelly caught the ball on his back in the end zone for our only extra point of the day.

    Jonny Ungurean started the scoring with a 24 yard TD run. Patrick Curley scored the second TD  right after Billy Brichetto recovered a fumble at the 6 yard line. Brendan Murphy almost broke a long one, but he was knocked out of bounds after a 17 yard gain. Charlie Smith was one tackle away from busting one on the last play of the first half. Sure handed Will Goldsberry ran out the clock with his last three carries, the longest for 7 yards.

   Sean Johlie  almost  returned his interception for a TD. He was knocked out at the 13 yard line after a 30 yard return.  He also had 5 tackles. Patrick Curley and Jonny Ungurean were the top tacklers with 8 apiece. Nose Guard Brendan Abbott had a season high 7 tackles and was in  the  Arlington backfield all day along with Defensive Tackles Paul Kiel and Billy Doherty. Zach Durec had 4 tackles and Chris Schulstad had 3 quick tackles in the 4th quarter. Sean Behrens was playing hurt for most of the game and finally had to be pulled in the third quarter. He still had 3 tackles on a gimpy leg. There were a lot of good hits and we were fortunate to see two on our side line. One from Brian Hennelly and the other from Billy Brichetto.

    A great end to a great season.

Thanks for all your efforts.
