WARRIORS ROUT EAGLES IN OPENER

The Warrior's Pony A's served notice that the "Kickin Down the Door" theme for this year's BAAA was far more than just words as they galloped into Taneytown on the warpath and ambushed the FSK Eagles with a convincing 25-0 scalping.

Using a potent offense that amassed over 200 yards on the ground using eight different ball carriers and a smothering defense that yielded only 9 total yards to FSK along with no first downs, the boys from Boonsboro completely dominated all phases of the game.

The opening series certainly did not give any clue as to what was to come as the Warriors were 4 and out on their first possession. However, the defense lead by the quick penetrations of Zach McClure into the Eagle backfield soon gave evidence to the crowd that Eagle yards were going to be hard come by against the swarming Warrior defense.

Shutting FSK down to negative yardage in their first series, Bryce Rogers on the first play of our second possession set the tone for a rejuvenated offense and rambled 34 yards to the "happy hunting grounds" and gave our boys a lead they would never relinquish.

Boonsboro would add two more TDS in the second quarter. Cole Menas scored an 11 yard run at the 5:25 mark following a Cameron McClellan 40 yard rollout run to set up the score. Then Bryce Rogers scored a second time with 1:52 remaining on 28 yard race to the endzone.

Leading 19-0 at half the Warriors were poised for liberal substitution in the second half. Immediately on the kickoff to the Eagles, Bryce Rogers mada bone jarring hit on the FSK return man that sent a resounding message to the faithful that there would be no let up.

Only a 30 minute thunderstorm delay coupled with detoriating field conditions curtailed the Warrior effort.

The final Boonsboro score came in the final two minutes of the game compliments of Jack Kransy's last two carries , one for 39 yards and the other for 11 to the endzone to give Boonsboro their final 25-0 margin.

The running game proved to be outstanding this day for the Warriors with Bryce Rogers leading the way with 61 yards and two TDS, Jack Kransy 57 yards and TD and Cole Menas 39 yards and TD. QB Cameron McClellan chipped in another 40 yards on the ground.

Defensively, Zach McClure lead the way with 4 tackles and Steve Smothers 2 1/2.

It was a 24 by 24 man effort as the Warriors start their season 1-0 and await the Knights of the Valley from Middletown next Sunday.

Sunday the Knights of the Valley rode onto the happy hunting grounds of the Warrior A Ponies and laid claim to the gridiron with a convincing 22-0 victory.

It was all Knights from the opening series as their defense held the Warriors to minus yardage and then put together a six play drive to paydirt at the 2:16 mark of the first quarter and a 6-0 lead. Their PAT failed. Boonsboro tried to respond to the score, but once again went 4 and out to the unyielding Middletown defense.However, this time the Warriors stepped up their defensive prowess with Dylan Vann,Steve Smothers, Brett Duft, Travis Moats and Cole Menas leading defense that shut the Knights down at the Warrior 3 yard line. Unfortunately, the celebration was shortlived as the Knights tackled the Boonsboro QB in the endzone following a penalty for a safety and 8-0 lead. Then following the free kick the Knights again struck with a 27 yard TD pass and extra point to close out the first half leading 15-0.

After halftime Boonsboro made some interior line adjustments and began to take control of the line of scrimmage both defensively and offensively for the first time in the game. Cole Menas,Brett Duft, Cameron McClellan and Steve Smothers all began to gain positive yardage while the defense lead by Colin Reece, Jack Krasny, Ryan Nikirk, Ben Burgan and Cole Menas jammed up the Knights' runners effectively during the third quarter. It wasn't until 4:18 remained in the game did the Orange find endzone for a final time. The game ended that way with the score 22-0.

The Warriors' record is now 1-1 as they travel to Gamber Smallwood on Saturday seeking to climb back over the .500 mark and rekindle playoff aspirations.

The Band of Warrior Pony A's awakened from a first half slumber and tamed the first half galloping herd of Mustangs with an impressive 12-0 whitewashing Saturday afternoon at Deer Park in Smallwood.

It was a tale of two halves with the first half seeing the Warriors groping for yardage against a stingy Gamber Smallwood 4/4 defense and hanging on to a 0-0 score at intermission thanks to several key fumble recoveries by Brett Duft , Steve Smothers and Bryce Rogers that each time turned back sustained Mustang drives into Warrior territory. Gamber had rambled for over 100 yards on the ground in the first half, while Boonsboro mustered only 22 total yards offense 9 of them coming on a Cole Menas 9 yd. pass to Travis Moats to end the half. Defensively in the first half the efforts of Cole Menas, Colin Reece, Jack Kransy, Brett Duft, Ryan Nikirk, Bryce Rogers and Steve Smothers displayed a defensive effort that was bending , but not breaking under a relentless stampede of Mustang running backs.

The second half was a totally different story.

Steve Smothers took the opening kickoff and after breaking several initial tackles rambled 79 yards to put the Warriors ahead to stay. Smothers electrifying run set the tempo for entirely different second half on the line of scrimmage. Boonsboro totally dominated the trenches on both sides of the ball. The Mustangs offense which moved freely in the first half totalled -4 yards the entire second half as the Warrior defense swarmed and gang tackled Gamber ball carriers and pressured their quarterback repeatedly. Dylan Vann, Cole Menas, Zach McClure, Colin Reece, Ryan Nikirk and Travis Moats were constantly in the grills of the Mustangs.

Offensively, Cole Menas began to own the Gamber defense with rollouts around their ends,which set up the game breaking double reverse that saw Bryce Rogers speed through the Mustang line at 3:26 mark of the third quarter for 32 yard TD romp.

The final decisive play came late in the fourth quarter when Dylan Vann recoverd a Mustang fumble deep in their own territory and then Steve Smothers rolled 11 yards for a first down that allowed the Warriors to take a knee to end the game.

The win moves the Pony A's to 2-1 and second place in the division and sets up a huge encounter next Sunday against the always tough Bulldogs of Mt. Airy.

Sunday the 13th was a test of two 2-1 squads for the right to call themselves early on playoff contenders. However, it was the not the Warriors who laid claim to the title as Mt. Airy with "Bulldog determination" seized a second quarter lead and never relinquished it on their way to a 12-0 whitewashing of Boonsboro.

The Warriors began the game with the ball and went four and out. It did not take for the Bulldogs to show their powerful running game as they marched down the field before giving the ball up on downs deep in Warrior territory after Brett Duft made a saving tackle on a 4th and 2 situation. The Warriors could not capitalize against the stingy Mt. Airy defense and again was forced to punt. This time Mt. Airy would not be denied as they took seven plays and hit the endzone at 7:49 mark of the second quarter. The score remained at 6-0 until the half.

The seond half showed a Warrior defensive effort that frustrated the Bulldogs efforts to increase their margin. Boonsboro halted Mt. Airy on the Warrior 19 after a twelve play march and then again after a seven play assault. Amassing only 44 total yards offensively Boonsboro could not sustain a drive to knot the score and an tired defense finally gave up another touch to the Bulldogs with only 1:08 left in the game. The 12-0 score stood.

Accolades defensively went out to Steve Smothers with 9 tackles, Brett Duft and Bryce Rogers with 5 and Cole Menas with 4 1/2. Offensively , Cole Means gained 30 of the Warrior yards on seven carries.

Sunday the 20th will see the boys from Boon try to go above the.500 mark against the Cougars of Catoctin at 1:00 pm on the Warrior Hunting Ground.

The Warriors had four great defensive plays once again, four and out for Mount Airy’s offense to end the third quarter. To open the fourth quarter, Ben Burgan had a 25 yard run. Unfortunately, they had to give the ball up to Mount Airy’s offense. Then on defense, Finian McGrane had a great play to force a fumble and got the ball back for the Warriors. Then on offense there was a great run by Isaiah Redman for a touchdown to tie the score 6-6. Then the defense had three great plays, by Ryan Nikirk and Isaiah Redman, to save the game for the Warriors. Another great fumble recovery by Cullen Rathman. On the second play of offense, Nick Nelson had a great 35 yard touchdown run with help from Junior Krenzer with great blocking on the play. And another great win by the Warriors 12-6, great job guys!

Mt. Airy @ Boonsboro

9/13/09

This week, the Mt. Airy Bulldogs traveled to Boonsboro during the busiest weekend of the whole year, Boonsboro Days. The Warrior fans were excited as always for their JV B team. #64 Sam Krasney of the Warriors received the kick at the 25 yard line. #16 Devin Griffith gained a first down on the first play. The Warriors were unsuccessful at gaining another first down, so the Bulldogs took over. They scored a touchdown on the second play of the drive. The extra point attempt was no good, making the score 6-0 Mt. Airy.

#18 Hunter Jacobs received the kick to start the 2^nd quarter. The Warriors showed excellent effort once again, but were unable to gain a first down. When the Bulldogs took over, Boonsboro displayed once again how awesome their defense is, forcing a 4^th and 14 and a punt, received by #16 Devin Griffith.

The Warrior defense was faced with a 2^nd and goal when Mt. Airy’s QB attempted to pass. It was intercepted by #16 Devin Griffith. He ran about 40 yards before being tackled.

An rejuvenated offense that unveiled a shotgun backfield and a fired up defense stunned the Catoctin Cougar Pony A's with a convincing 18-6 victory Sunday the 20th on "The Hunting Grounds" at Boonsboro.

Catoctin brought in an offense seldom seen in the last 60 years, the single wing, with lots of motion and deception built into its execution. However, the Warriors adjusted after an initial Cougar TD and completely shutdown the Catoctin Magic Show with smothering pursuit and "gang tackling" that limited the Cougars to only 2 total yards in the 2nd half.

Early on the Cougars did show why defensing this 19th century offense is a challenge and took an early lead 6-0 at 7:28 mark of the 2nd stanza. This was a capitalization on a Warrior fumble that occured on the Cougar 2 and lead to a 98 yd. drive to paydirt.

The Warriors responded in kind three minutes later as a bit of "Warrior Voodoo" of its own had Bryce Rogers take a reverse 30 yards to the endzone. Then the Warriors attempted something seldom. ifever seen at this level and tried a kicking extra point using the powerful leg of Bobby Fink, but a bad snap spoiled the effort.

It did not take Boonsboro long to strike again in the second quarter as Cole Menas swept the right side into the "happy hunting ground" again from 4 yards out with 1:15 left in the half. The conversion failed, but the boys took a 12-6 lead to the half.

The second half was a total domination by the Boonsboro defense as the Warriors stifled catoctin to only 2 yards after they had baffled the Warriors amassing 85 yards in the first half. The Warrior offense amassed more yardage and ran their offensive totals to 232 yards both in the air and on the ground including a Bryce Rogers 13 yd. scamper to the endzone at the 3:11 mark of quarter three. With that score the Warriors took an 18-6 lead which stood until the final whistle.

Accolades were plentiful in the win. On defense Jack Krasny, Bryce Rogers, Steve Smothers and Cole Menas each 5 tackles. Additionally, Menas garnered two sacks and Rogers picked off a Cougar pass. Jared Tribbett, Kwantae White, Benny Burgan and Ryan Sharpless also had outstanding games on defense.

Offensively, Cole Menas gained 83 yds. on 11 carriesand a TD, Bryce Rogers had 67 yards on 6 carries and two TDs and Brett Duft 34 yards on 9 hauls. Duft also threw for 4 yds. to Rogers and Rogers tossed a 22 yd pass to Travis Moats.

The win puts the Warriors at 3-2 on the season and sets up a match with the always tough Cadets from Frederick on Sunday the 27th.

The Warriors got the ball back and kept a long drive alive with passes completed to Connor McClellan, Nick Hubbard, and Nick Knight. The drive was capped off with a run for a TD by Tyler Leone. PAT was successful, with the score now 21-0 Boonsboro.

After another Warrior kickoff, the Cougars tried to move the ball, this time getting 2 first downs in a series. However the Boonsboro defense

held and kept the Cougars in check the rest of the game.

Many Warriors contributed to the defensive effort, with great teamwork and speed shown on the field. The Warrior offense moved the ball with Cory DeBaugh, Alex Wetzel, Brent Leone, and Jacob Dillow running the ball the remainder of the game. The score, 21-0 Boonsboro!

The Walkersville JV B team came up to Boonsboro this week. They were larger in size, but the talent was pretty much equal. The Warriors received the kickoff and #64 Sam Krasny ran for 7 yards.

They ended up punting on 4th and 15, but the Warriors blocked it. They took over with time running out. 3 first downs were gained, and on 3rd and goal at the 2½ yard line, #16 Devin Griffith ran for another TD. The extra point was good, and the score was now 13 all. It remained that way until the end of the game. Great job Warriors! Good luck against Frederick!!

A fired up 3-2 Warrior A Pony squad gave the undefeated Lions of Walkersville one of their toughest games of this season. but our efforts fell short in the final quarter as we went down 24 -12 Saturday at Heritage Park.

After falling behind early 6-0 with only 2 minutes gone in the first quarter, the Warriors showed their determination marching 46 yards 12 plays into the Lions den to serve notice that today the Lions were not facing an easy foe. The drive which started after a 25 yd. Brett Duft kickoff return culminated when Jack Krasny rolled through the Lions on an eight yd. scamper to the endzone. This came with 48 seconds remaining in the first quarter.

Walkersville answered the Boonsboro score 11 play drive of their own scoring a TD at the 4:22 mark of the second quarter. They added to the margin following a second Warrior fumble with just 48 seconds remaining on an 11 yd. counter play, a play they had great success with all day in crucial situations , increasing the lead to 18-6.

However, just when the Lions seemed to be a prowl to a rout, the Warriors scored a Td with 1.3 seconds remaining the half when Bryce Rogers stunned the Lions with a 15 yd TD to bring the Warriors to within 6 at the half.

The second started promising for the boys from the Boon , when on the Lions first play from scrimmage they coughed up a fumble caused by Jared Tribbett putting the Warriors in business immediately at the Walkersville 47. The excitement was shortlived as we fumbled it right back on the next play.

The second half then became a battle of defenses that saw only one more TD, that being a Lions TD at the 7:51 mark of the 4th stanza.

The Warriors made one of their strongest efforts of the year, but it was just not enough to overcome a powerful Lions squad.

Several boys had excellent games on both sides of the ball. Offensively, Bryce Rogers lead the way with 78 yds on 8 carries and a touchdown. Cole Menas added 26 yds and Jack Krasny contributed 27 more. On the defensive side Rogers also lead the tackling with 6, Menas and Jared Tribbett had 5 and Ryan Sharpless 4 in a very physical and hotly contest fray.

The Warriors return home this Sunday to face boys from Tusarora AT 1:00. a win could keep playoff hopes alive.

After a hard fought battle with the big bad Walkersville Lions, our varsity Warriors prevailed...

The scoreboard did not show our victory,(Lions 30 Warriors 13) because our victory was on the field.

Out numbered 3 to 1 our boys battled with intensity, tenacity, and especially HEART, and showed those Lions

they were nothing but little kittens.

I think our boys really understand now what football is all about. Keep up the great work, and

keep having fun. I'm proud of you all,

Sunday the 11th was a crisp autumn day perfect for football, but on the field it became more perfect for the FYSA Titans as they rolled to 32-18 win over the Warriors in a game punctuated with huge plays on both sides of the ball.

The first fireworks of the afternoon came on a Titan interception of a Brett Duft pass that went 59 yds. to paydirt and a 7-0 Titan margin after they converted the PAT.

However, the Warriors did not hesitate in their response. Following a Bryce Rogers 20 yd. gallop, Rogers fired a 65 yd. TD pass to to Travis "TD" Moats at the 4:08 mark of the first quarter and brought the Warriors back to within one.

The Titans then fumbled on their first play from scrimmage following the Boon TD with Dylan Vann falling on the loose pigskin. Unfortunately, on the insuing series Boonsboro lost Rogers to an injury and a 30 yard penalty accessed against the Warrior bench gave the Titans a "gift" spot on the Warrior 18 yard line. It took only one play for the Titans to capitalize and up their lead to 14-6 still in the first quarter.

The second quarter became a game of field position and sloppy play for both teams and the 14-6 margin held until halftime.

It wasn't until 28 seconds remained in the third quarter would there be a score change . Following a blocked Warrior punt attempt the Titans went for the endzone on 4th and goal and scored on a 2 yard run upping their lead to 20-6. Their PAT failed.

Once again, the Warriors answered the call quickly as Jack Krasny stunned the Titans and energized the Warrior faithful with a 71 yard kick return to the Titan endzone.

FYSA answered the Krasny TD when they drove 63 yards on six plays to regain their 14 point lead at the 6:02 mark of the 4th quarter.

Cole Menas then borrowed a page from Krasny and returned the Titan kickoff 50 yards to the FYSA 10. With the Warriors now first and goal, two bad snaps turned the elation into deflation when the second bad snap was scooped up by a Titan linebacker and returned 73 yds. for yet another FYSA score and a 32 -12 bulge.

Incredibly, Menas once again took the kickoff and rolled back 38 yards deep into Titan territory.

Jack Krasny then scored his second TD taking a reverse 16 yds. to the happy hunting grounds. The PAT failed and that would be the end of the scoring for the afternoon.

The loss drops the Warrior Pony A's to 3-4 with two games remaining against Brunswick and Frederick, two games they must win if they hope to see the playoffs.

Offensively, the Warriors ,outside of the Rogers to Moats 65 yd. bomb, manged only 71 rushing yards with Menas gaining 28, Rogers 24 [prior to his injury] and Krasny 19.

Kwantae White paced the defense with 4 1/2 tackles, Menas and Krasny with 4, and Ben Burgan 3 1/2.

Next up the Jr. Railroaders from Brunswick this Sunday the 18th at 1:00 pm on the Warrior turf.

The visiting FYSA Titans had a tough time against the Warriors this week. They fumbled on 1^st and 10, recovered by #23 Colin Mannix. This set up a series of plays that included a 60 yard run by #2 Brent Leone and a 1^st and goal TD run by #44 Chris Deckert. The extra point attempt was no good. FYSA got the ball again, only to fumble on their second 1^st and 10, recovered by #7 Matt Porterfield of the Warriors. They went 4 and out to end the 1^st quarter.

The Titans were forced to go for a 3^rd and 20, when they fumbled again and #23 Colin Mannix was there to recover it. The Warriors used this turnover and #40 Owen Glass ran for a TD. The extra point attempt was unsuccessful, and the score was now 0-12 Warriors. FYSA couldn’t convert a 1^st down, so they were forced to give the ball back to Boonsboro. QB Brent Leone completed a pass to #7 Matt Porterfield on 2^nd and 15. Brent also ran on 4^th and 5 for the first down. On 2^nd and goal, #16 Devin Griffith ran for the TD. This time, the extra point was good, making the score 0-19 Boonsboro. FYSA was unable to score, and that ended the half.

The Titans came back in the 2^nd half with a TD run on 3^rd and 21. The extra point was no good, with tackles made by #83 Blake Dougherty and #43 Duncan Rowland. FYSA recovered a fumble on the kickoff and got the ball back. It came down to a 4^th and goal, and the Warrior defense was able to prevent the TD.

The 4^th quarter was mostly changes of possession because both teams were unable to gain first downs. Final score: Warriors 19 Titans 6. Good job guys!! Let’s beat Brunswick next week!

Week eight produced the most convincing win of the season by the Pony A Warriors.Using a stifling defense that saw 12 different Warriors contribute tackles and a potent offense that amassed 262 yards on the ground and through the air they completely derailed the boys from Brunswick 26-6 in a contest that could have been even more lopsided than the final tally.

The Warriors struck early in the first stanza when Jack Kransy busted into the endzone from 4 yards out following a Bryce Rogers to Travis Moats 25 yard pass completion. The PAT failed. Then in the insuing series Boonsboro drove 38 yards to inside the five only to fumble on the two. The Railroaders responded with an explosion of their own as their back rolled 98 yards untouched for a tying score.

That would be the last highlight of the day for Brunswick as from that point on they were held to minus 45 yards of offense by a devastating Boonsboro defense that completely dominated the line of scrimmage. A defense lead by Darren Tribett with 4 tackles , Cole Menas with three a sack and fumble recovery and Travis Moats with a sack and fumble recovery among many other Warrior defensive stalwarts.

Offensively it was no different. Bryce Rogers would score on a TD with 1:27 left in the second quarter and then complete a PAT pass to Zach McClure to up the halftime margin 13-6. The Warriors struck again at the 3:59 mark of the third whne Cole Menas streaked 14 yards to Railroader land and once again Rogers found the passing PAT mark when he hit Travis Moats. This increased the lead to 20-6.

Menas would have scored again at the 1:34 mark of the same period but a 39 yard gallop was called back due to block in the back. Undaunted, Menas delivered the pigskin with 6:09 in the fourth quarter to paydirt as he ran 14 yards untouched to close out the Warrior scoring.

The final impressive display of the day was when the Boonsboro second string offense filled with A/B players, who earlier in the day had completed an undefeated season by blanking Middletown 8-0 , drove 44 yards on 6 plays to the Brunswick two, before Brett Duft mercifully took a knee to end the game.

There were many offensive braves on this day with Cole Menas garnering 73 yds , Bryce Rogers 40,Jack Krasny 36,Benny Burgan 29, Zach McClure 22 and Steve Smothers 21.

The Warriors close out their regular season next Sunday at frederick's legendary McCurdy Field against the Cadets, while the A/B players play in a specail bowl game at catoctin on Saturday against once again Middletown
