PENNSVILLE — This year’s Pennsville soccer team may be better than some of coach Derek Foglein’s early teams and it may catch up to last year’s division champion in time, but on this day they were overwhelmed by a superior force on this day.

Izzy Benigno got a hat trick and a water bottle shower, captain Fernando Santiago scored twice and Brodey Willis and JV call-up Cristian Villagomez scored their first career goals to lead Cumberland over the Eagles 9-0 Tuesday. The Colts scored their nine goals on 17 shots and had chances for three other goals (offsides, two posts).

Sam Hassler had perhaps the Eagles’ best attempt at a goal when his semi-breakaway and shot across the box four minutes into the second half was turned away at the right post.

“What I just told them in the circle was that I think this year’s team beats the first team that Coach Joe (Mecholsky) and I had eight years ago 9-0 and I think it shows how far our program has come,” Foglein said, “but at the same time if you want to be an elite soccer program in South Jersey we’ve still got a long way to go.

“And that’s OK. It just reminds us that when we’re in practice, the basics matter. We have to do the basics with intensity, we have to compete with intensity and we have to move the ball with intensity. They’re a fantastic team. Yes, they have great kids, but they were a fantastic team. We’ll learn.”

PENNS GROVE 4, GLOUCESTER CATHOLIC 2: Juan Ortiz got his junior season off to a rousing start, scoring all four of the Red Devils’ goals, including two in the final 25 minutes after the Rams rallied to tie the game.

Ortiz, who scored six goals last season and 11 in his first two seasons, staked his team to a 2-0 halftime lead. The Red Devils came out of the break a little complacent and the Rams scored twice to tie it. Ortiz put Penns Grove back on top and then added an insurance goal by curling a corner kick into the top corner.

“He’s a special player, there’s no doubt it,” Red Devils coach Mano Massari said. “Sometimes he tries to do too much and his play drops when he tries to do too much, but when he lets the game come to him and plays his game, I always put him as one of the top players on the field at all times.

“He’s still maturing on the field … but I think when he plays poised and calm and lets the game come to him his game goes to another level and I think today was a good showing of that.”

After giving up the two goals early in the second half, freshman keeper Ruben Torres Sinz kept the Rams out of the net the rest of the game.

WOODSTOWN 1, GATEWAY 1: Both teams scored in the first half and then battled through a scoreless second half and overtime. Jake Lewis scored Woodstown’s goal and Vincent Toner lit the lamp for the Gators. Eddie Fuller made six saves in the Woodstown goal.

The Wolverines played to four draws last season.

DELRAN 3, SCHALICK 0: Three different players scored as the Bears handed the Cougars their first season-opening loss since 2022. The Cougars tied Washington Twp. in last year’s season opener and went on to play in the South Jersey Group I championship game.

PITTSGROVE — Schalick coach Will Kemp has gotten excited about a lot of teams he’s had over the years, but he’s starting to develop a special kind of affinity for the one he has this season. It all goes to the way they go about their business.

Freshmen Nicolette Bloomer and Mackenzie Talerico each scored two goals and Kyleigh Cutler had a goal and two assists to help the Cougars open their season with a 7-2 win over Deptford.

“This one of those squads I’m actually really excited for,” Kemp said. “I don’t have any type of nerves for, it’s just like pure excitement. Everyone understands it now. The culture is fully established within. We have a lot of selfless players who are focused on rebuilding the tradition and legacy of what Schalick soccer used to be. The work ethic is through the roof. It’s been really nice.”

The Cougars led wire-to-wire, but broke it open with three straight goals from Karlie Bakley, Talerico and Cutler to take a 5-2 halftime lead. Cecilee Bell and Bloomer scored in the second half. It was their first opening day win since 2023.

“The ladies really showed up for the first part of the season, dominated the whole entire game,” Kemp said. “Obviously there are a few things we still need to work on, but for the most part they came to play today, which was really good to see.”

GCIT 3, WOODSTOWN 2: The Cheetahs scored three goals in the first half and held on to hand the Wolverines their first loss of the season. Jorja Widmer scored twice and Khloe Leacott once for GCIT. Hailey Kucharczyk and Korynn Hernandez scored Woodstown’s goals.

GCIT led wire-to-wire, but the Wolverines put up a fight against a team that beat them 3-0 last season. Kucharczyk got them on the board with a left-footed goal from the left side. The Cheetahs made it 3-1, but right back Sadie Moore kept it close with a nice defensive save off a corner kick.

Hernandez scored Woodstown’s second goal off a Delia Hahn free kick with about 10 minutes left to bring the Wolverines within one. She brought it down to her foot, made a move to create space and ripped a shot past GCIT keeper Gwen Marvil from 22 yards out to make it 3-2.

Even in the last minute the Wolverines had a chance to tie. Freshman Bella Lucas put a long throw-in into the box with 10 seconds left, but they couldn’t get a shot on net.

“We were pressing; if we had five more minutes …,” Woodstown coach Kieran Keyser said. “It was a hard-fought battle for our girls. They beat us 3-0 last year, so to go 3-2 and be there with some of South Jersey’s Group 4 good strong teams is definitely a win.”

AUDUBON 8, PENNSVILLE 0: The Green Wave scored three goals in each of the first two quarters to spoil the official coaching debut of Pennsville’s Cass Massari.

Massari guided the Eagles to three wins last year filling in during coach Lisa Doran’s medical leave, a stretch that included a division-clinching win, and was promoted following Doran’s retirement.

HIGHLAND 9, SALEM 0: Kiersten Heverly scored the first four goals of the game and the Tartans scored three goals in each of the first three quarters to hand the Rams their second straight 9-0 loss.

PENNSVILLE — Ayden Ellis scored on a 35-yard free kick with 5:13 left in the match and Woodstown scored twice in the final 14 minutes to finally shake Pennsville 5-4 in an intense season-opener for both teams.

The Wolverines could never seem to shake their hosts until the end. Woodstown held leads at three different times in the match, but each time the Eagles tied it.

“We were really close on scoring many opportunity, but just couldn’t put it away,” Woodstown coach Darren Huck said. “They ended up taking advantage of some mistakes we made in the back to go up and then my guys showed a lot of heart and a lot of grit and kept working.”

The Eagles looked like they had all the momentum after Lucas Cooksey and Sam Hassler scored in the first two minutes of the second half to give Pennsville its first lead 4-3 and Lachlann Hooks was turning back the Wolverines in the goal.

Jake Lewis got Woodstown’s equalizer with 13:56 to play and then Ellis won it with his second goal of the match on the free kick.

“I thought the second half we played a lot better and we had the ball down at our end most of the time, but scoring goals is not easy,” Huck said. “We found a way to score a couple goals late and pull out the victory.”

Nick DiTeodoro also scored a pair of goals for Woodstown. Hassler scored twice for Pennsville. Justin Muchaca’s header off a Cooksey corner kick was Pennsville’s other goal.

Both teams had shots hit the pipes in the first half that could’ve been their second goal. Pennsville’s John Sassi hit the cross bar midway through the half and Woodstown’s Ethan Cotton banged one off the right post seven minutes later.

WOODSTOWN 5, PENNSVILLE 2: Freshman Korynn Hernandez burst on the local scene with a hat trick and Hailey Kucharczuk scored two goals to power the Wolverines in their first full game of the season. They opened the season with a scoreless draw with Vineland in a game that was suspended at halftime due to the excessive heat.

On this day, the Wolverines erupted for four goals in the first half. They scored their five goals on 10 shots.

“Hailey was our leading scorer last year so it was great to see her find the back of the net right away,” Woodstown coach Kieran Keyser said.

Eagles come up short

Pennsville’s two-point conversion attempt in the final minute falls incomplete, Overbrook wins a close one for the second year in a row

PENNSVILLE – The home team made play after play in the fourth quarter – on both sides of the ball – to keep itself in the game. It needed to make one more play on offense in the final minute to extend the game, but just came up a little short.

Jake Layfield’s potential game-tying two-point conversion pass with 47.9 seconds to play Thursday night fell incomplete in the end zone, sending Pennsville to a 28-26 loss to Overbrook in their WJFL Diamond Division opener instead of a chance to win in overtime for the second week in a row.

It was the second year in a row the Overbrook-Pennsville game was decided by two points or less.

“I’ve been doing this now long enough where it’s going to suck no matter what,” Eagles coach Mike Healy said. “It goes that way sometimes and you’ve gotta understand it’s a tough loss, but I have more confidence in this team now, and they should feel more confident with the way they been playing, fighting back.

“Sometimes plays are gonna go your way, sometimes they’re not. It’s frustrating, but I think the big thing for us is to not put ourselves in a hole where we have to depend on one play.”

**Chase Johnson had another big game at receiver Thursday, catching eight passes for 117 yards and two touchdowns.**

The Eagles fell behind 16-0 midway through the second quarter after the second of Axcel Bailey’s three Overbrook touchdowns, but once they got their bearings they gave themselves every chance to change the outcome.

They put together a 17-play drive in the second quarter to score their first touchdown right before the half. They turned the Rams back twice from inside the 10 – once after they had reached the 1 – to keep it a two-point game. Then in the fourth quarter, when there were four touchdowns in the final 4:39, they twice turned away the Rams’ two-point conversions to keep it a one-score game. Of course, they didn’t make either of their conversions, either.

“We’ve played Pennsville now for 7-8 years and it’s been a battle every year,” Overbrook coach Frank Wilczynski said. “I said to the guys at halftime it’s going to be a battle of attrition. We were lucky to make the last play tonight. That takes some years off you.”

The Eagles moved into position to tie the game when Layfield connected with C.J. Johnson on a 34-yard touchdown pass on fourth down. It was one of six fourth-down conversions they made in the game. On the two-point try to tie, Layfield rolled out and was looking for his options in the end zone, but his pass fell in a void between Tristan Horner and Aiden Collazo. The Rams recovered the short ensuing kickoff and took a knee twice to run out the clock.

“We liked the play, we ran the play,” Healy said. “It’s a play we feel confident in running. We feel confident with that at any point. We’ve had a lot of success with it, it’s just that we didn’t execute that time and get the play done. We ran it earlier in the game. We’ve run it already this season. We like the play, it’s just that time we just didn’t execute it and it was an incomplete pass.”

“It was a pocket pass,” Layfield said. “I was looking for a quick five-and-out, which I’ve hit a lot in the game, but it wasn’t there, so I started to roll with it, hoping something would pop open like it did last time. I saw my guy in the back of the end zone and I just led him too far. That’s one of the ones I need to hit like that. That’s detrimental. That needs to be a better throw. I just missed him.”

“I thought we did a good job on that play of really stringing it out,” Wilczynski said. “They did a good job with their ball-handling in the backfield on the (touchdown) play before. Our defensive end comes unblocked but the quarterback gives a good fake and gets outside and beats the leverage. On that (conversion) one we were able to flush him and the defensive backs did their jobs and didn’t give him an opportunity to complete the pass.”

Layfield completed 27 of 43 passes for 268 yards in the game with three touchdowns and two interceptions on batted balls – three picks if you count the one on an conversion attempt – but lamented missing a number of throws. Johnson caught eight passes for 117 yards. Lucas Thomas and Collazo caught seven and six, respectively.

Pennsville’s decision to keep going for two wasn’t due to any misgivings they had about a kicker. It was simply in response to Overbrook going for two. Extra points do no good when the other team keeps going for two.

The Rams appeared to have delivered the knockout blow several times in the fourth quarter, but every time the Eagles answered.

The first came with 4:39 left when Andrew Powell blocked a Pennsville punt and Xyon Marshall fell on it in the end zone for a touchdown, but Pennsville stopped Axcel Bailey on the two-point try to keep it an eight-point game.

Danny Knight got the Eagles right back in it when he returned the kickoff 75 yards to the Overbrook 15 and Horner eventually got into the end zone from 4 to make it 22-20 with 2:37 to play. The Rams intercepted the conversion pass to maintain their lead.

It surely should’ve been over when Rams star running back Axcel Bailey went 56 yards up the left sideline for his third touchdown of the game, making it 28-20 with 2:16 left. But the Eagles still had a chance after Jacob Kimani blew up the conversion attempt to give them one last chance to tie. Bailey finished the game with 153 yards rushing on 26 carries, but outside of the big fourth-quarter run, he had only 14 other yards rushing in the second half.

“It’s two straight weeks starting slow,” Healy said. “We need to understand when the game starts we don’t have time for that lull. Last week we put ourselves in a hole (14-0 in the second quarter), we were able to come back. This week we put ourselves in a hole, we fight back and do a good job, but we put ourselves in that hole to start. The one thing I’m really happy about is the last two weeks we played hard to the end of the game, but we make things difficult on ourselves.”

PENNSVILLE – Brynn Buechler’s first win as a varsity tennis coach was full of emotion.

Senior Naomi Hess won a third-set super tiebreaker to clinch the match and the two other singles players both won extended sets as Pennsville’s girls edged West Deptford 3-2 Monday to give Buechler her first career coaching victory.

Buechler, a 2012 Pennsville grad, took the reins from longtime coach Dan Lamont this season after serving as his assistant since 2023. The Eagles won a team Group 1 title her senior year.

“It was definitely exciting,” said Buechler, an eighth-grade math teacher at Pennsville Middle School. “It was cool to play for Dan and then to coach with him, but I would say it was emotional. I think moreso I was super happy for Naomi getting that win, especially after a couple tough scrimmages she had, for staying composed.

“It was really cool to be on the home courts I played on to get a win. We told the girls it was exciting, but it’s just our first match, so we definitely have a lot of work to do.”

Hess defeated Harper Short at No. 2 singles, 6-3, 3-6, 10-1, to clinch the match. She won the first seven points of the tiebreaker. No. 1 singles Graillyn Weber (7-5) and her No. 3 singles freshman sister Jaisley Weber (7-6 (7-5)) posted seven-win sets on their way to victories.

“Naomi had a couple of really close scrimmages and she went to a tiebreaker against Millville and then she had a pretty tough match against Vineland,” Buechler said. “I definitely think those helped her and she kind of settled into that third-set tiebreaker and she won 10-1. It was nice to see her settle in and relax and kind of have that senior moment of not letting the pressure get to her.

“It was nice to see (Jaisley) pick up that win; she seemed like she kind of settled in. Being a freshman coming out and playing singles by yourself is a little nerve-wracking, but she seemed like she settled in a little bit in that second set.”

Somewhere Dan LaMont was smiling. The Salem County Sports Hall of Fame coach was actually playing tennis at the time of the match, but texted his protégé regularly for updates. Buechler now only needs about 299 more wins to catch him.

“He has so much advice to give,” she said. “It’s so strange to be on the court and not with him. I don’t really know Pennsville tennis without him. He was texting during the match, keeping updated and texted congratulations and all that.”

VINELAND – Woodstown opened its season Tuesday with a scoreless tie at Vineland in a game suspended at halftime by the heat but counted as a full game.

The Wolverines had a half-dozen shots and had momentum swinging in their direction when the game was called.

“I’ve had a game once suspended due to rain, but never heat,” Woodstown coach Kieran Keyser said. “It was a shame it ended early; it would have been a good game.”

It’s the first point the Wolverines have scored on opening day since 2019.

The Wolverines return to action Thursday with a home match against Pennsville.

Opening Day notebook

There was a dream, there was a plan, and Saturday’s inaugural game is the fruition of Salem CC;s work, includes a list of firsts, inaugural starters

By Al Muskewitz
Riverview Sports News

PENNSVILLE – Mike Gorman was in his customary seat on the top row of the bleachers as he is for every Salem Community College athletics event he attends. As an old lineman he’d rather be in the end zone because he says it gives the best perspective on the game, but where he positioned himself Saturday provided a better chance to mingle with the all the people who came to share this important day in the college’s history.

As the college president looked out on the field at Lou D’Angelo Stadium as he greeted both the well-wishers and the curious, the first Salem CC football team was going through its pre-game warmup. A little over a year ago, the idea of the school having a junior college football team was the vision of only a few. But Saturday afternoon that vision became a reality for all as the Mighty Oaks took on Hudson Valley Community College in the first game in the Carneys Point school’s history.

The Mighty Oaks lost the game 26-18, but they sent the crowd of about 850 home buzzing after Aidan Hill, their third quarterback of the game, threw a 44-yard touchdown pass to Jahfarri Payne on the final play of the game to tighten the margin.

“It’s been a dream for a long time, it’s been a plan for the last two years, and today is the fruition of all those labors,” Gorman said before the game. “Once the kickoff occurs it’s another game and everything else just kind of leans to the side and we focus on the field and the athletes on the field.

“I was walking the dog early this morning and there was that flavor in the air that tells you football season’s here and guess what – it is.”

Bringing a junior college football program to South Jersey was a vision of former Rowan head coach Jay Accorsi, who would ultimately become the Mighty Oaks’ head coach. Accorsi brought his vision to Gorman, and the proposal went to the college’s board last fall. Their shared vision was one of not just having a football team but changing lives of prospective students who would be attracted to to the college who might not have had the opportunity to attend college otherwise.

The board unanimously approved the project, the school officially launched the program in January and the athletics department spent the next seven month bringing everything together culminating in Saturday’s inaugural game.

“I told the team, last year at this time these guys were all over the place,” Accorsi said. “All the coaches were all over the place. I was trying to convince the school to start football. So, to think in less than a year we’re eight points from a team that went 9-1, that’s crazy. You couldn’t draw up a script, and I couldn’t be more pleased.”

Gorman; SCC board chairman Jason Supernavage; Pennsville Schools Superintendent Dr. Kyle Baker-Plale; Marc Ray, the college’s new CFO; Billy Mays, an associate professor of mathematics representing the SCC faculty; and Maura Cavanagh Dick, SCC’s associate dean of academic affairs, served as honorary captains for the inaugural game. They stood behind the team’s game captains – Ben Secouler, Jermar Jones, Brian Pritchett and Aidan Alexander – at midfield for the traditional coin toss.

The school also recognized Matt O’Brien and Beth Blohm at halftime. They are two Pennsville Middle School teams who are Pennsville High School and Salem CC alumni.

Honorary captains also will be named for the team’s three other home games later in the season. The honorary captains for the Homecoming Game Oct. 17 will be former alumni association presidents.

**The Salem CC defense comes out of the tunnel to take the field for the first ever regular-season game in program history.**

A DAY OF FIRSTS

An inaugural game brings a plethora of firsts for the new program. Here are a few for the Mighty Oaks:

Play: Kahmaj Keamey off left tackle for 8 yards, 1Q (Several Riverview Sports News readers suggested a first-play run)
Pass completion: Cam Wright 12 yards to Darion Joyner, 1Q
Touchdown: Jerrell Burns 85-yard interception return, 2:13 2Q
Offensive TD: Malakhai McKenzie 2 run, 6:17 3Q
First Down: by penalty, 1Q
Tackle: Jermar Jones on Jayden Hines for 7-yard loss, 1Q
Sack: Still up for grabs
Turnover: Brian Pritchett fumble, 1Q
Takeaway: Ezzy Poutre fumble recovery, 2Q

SALEM’S INAUGURAL STARTERS

KICKOFF RETURN: Gio Parente, John Pettigrew, Charlie Shute, Terrin Walker, Jermar Jones, Tre McCloud, DJ Binck, Darion Joyner, Stephen Little, Aidan Hill, Jeremiah Russell

OFFENSE: Lamar McCoy, Bryson Cox-Patterson, Kahmaj Kearney, Darion Joyner, Marcus Williams, Brody Selfridge, Hayden Miller, Robert Daly, Jacob Hand, Terrin Walker, Cam Wright

DEFENSE: Raheem Tomoney, Jermar Jones, Charlie Shute, Lee Xavier, Ben Secouler, Sam DaSilva, Mark Moore, Sam Rowley, Ezzy Poutre, Aidan Alexander

SCARY MOMENT

The game was delayed for several minutes with 6:15 left in the fourth quarter as medical personnel attended to Raheem Tomoney, who appeared to have suffered a neck injury in an apparent collision with a teammate. Tomoney, a cornerback who played at Hudson Valley earlier in his career, was transported from the field to a local hospital for evaluation. He had movement in all his extremities when he left the field.

“I think that just precautionary,” head coach Jay Accorsi said. “They wanted to make sure he got looked at. They couldn’t get the face mask off because the face mask was twisted, so we couldn’t get the screws off, so that’s what made it challenging. “

ON FAMILIAR GROUND

Salem CC lineman Jacob Hand was back in his old stomping grounds for his first college game and just walking through the gates at Pennsville’s Lou D’Angelo Stadium being back a flood of happy memories.

“Playing here was nice,” he said. “Going back in the locker room and seeing our JV quarterback from last year (now varsity starter Jake Layfield) having my locker kind of fired me up a little bit. See that, it was nice. It brought back some memories.”

WHAT TO KNOW

Pennsville’s Tristan Horner scores go-ahead TD in OT, defense holds on through Woodstown’s attempt to match

Pennsville QB Jake Layfield passes for 320 yards and 3 touchdowns (0 INTs) in first start

Woodstown had won last 4 openers, had 5-game win streak in series, Healy beats them for first time since his first game as Eagles head coach

By Al Muskewitz
Riverview Sports News

PENNSVILLE — Tristan Horner blasted in from the 2 at the start of overtime and Pennsville’s defense knocked away a fourth-down pass in the end zone to deny Woodstown’s bid to tie and outlasted the Wolverines 28-21 in a weather-delayed season-opener for both teams.

It was Pennsville coach Mike Healy’s first win over the Wolverines since his first game as the Eagles’ head coach in 2017.

“This was a monumental win,” Eagles defensive back Lucas Thomas said.

Indeed. The Wolverines had won the last five games in the series and seemingly had their way in everything in the rivalry the last couple years. This game originally was scheduled for Thursday night, but was postponed to Friday in the fallout of the day’s storms. It gave a handful of Pennsville players a chance to rewatch the 2023 playoff game between the teams together, firing them up even more for a game they’ve had circled on their calendars for a while.

“There’s no other game I wanted to win this year,” quarterback Jake Layfield said. “If we win one, I want it to be Woodstown. Between this and Homecoming. I don’t even care about Senior Night. It was just Woodstown. If anybody I wanted to beat it was Woodstown and we came out here and did it. There’s just no better feeling than beating a county rival.”

Both teams had chances to win the game that Healy said held “the highest of highs and lowest of lows.”.

Woodstown led 14-0 a minute into the second quarter and then 21-14 early in the fourth on Mason Middlemiss’ 33-yard run during which at least two officials’ whistles were heard when the Wolverines quarterback ran into traffic. Layfield brought the Eagles right back with three straight completions, highlighted by a 52-yard throw to C.J. Johnson and capped by a 15-yard scoring pass to Jacob Kimani.

The Eagles had the ball at the end of regulation, but Layfield’s pass to Johnson in the back of the end zone on the final play was incomplete.

Layfield completed 23 of 37 passes for 320 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions in his first career start at quarterback. That would translate to a 161.6 NCAA passer rating. Johnson caught 11 balls for 196 yards and a touchdown in what he called “my wakeup game,” his indication of how the season is going to go..Kimani caught four for 68 and a score. Dante Cummings caught the other touchdown pass

“We have 72 plays on the wrist band and all three of those plays (on the tying drive) are plays we don’t normally run,” Layfield said. “Coach (Ryan) Wood says it in the headset and we’ll run it on to the field. I feel like sometimes you kind of just know when things are going to go well.

“Kimani was telling me, we watched film on them and someone caught a 10-yard in, and he said if I ever catch a ball over the middle in the end zone I’m going to dunk it on the goalpost. I think he forgot to dunk it on the goalpost and got hit pretty hard.

“Sometimes you just know when you’ve got two guys who know they can go up and get the ball the confidence is there. The line was giving me time. CJ, dawg on the outside, he was there for me all game, and then Kimani just finishing in the end zone. I knew he would win the route.”

**Pennsville quarterback Jake Layfield (15) passed for more than 300 yards and threw three touchdowns.**

Pennsville got the ball first in overtime and needed just two plays to score and take their first lead of the game. Layfield hit Kimani for 23 yards and then Horner punched it in.

“We were pretty efficient in the passing game today so that’s what we wanted to start it with,” Healy said. “We felt those fourth down stops early in the game we actually had the opportunity for the first down but one or two little things (got in the way), so we felt good going with that play. Tristan ran hard, ran into contact. Coach Wood always tells the kids ‘run through the smoke.’ He did it and got in the end zone .”

Woodstown’s bid to tie got off to a balky start with a holding penalty on its first snap. The Wolverines fumbled but recovered the next play. Thomas stopped Cole Ware for a 2-yard gain on the next play and then Middlemiss threw incomplete on third down.

On the final play of the game, Middlemiss rolled right and found Ware in the end zone, but Thomas, Danny Knight and David Biddle converged on the receiver to knock the ball free and seal the victory

“Honestly, the best thing about it was how we all swarmed to it,” Thomas said. “The QB was rolling out, we already knew it was a pass play –they had to get in the end zone — and we just put our best players in the right positions and broke down the pass. It was the best feeling in the world. I honestly just wanted to lay down there on the ground for a second, that was the best feeling, but I wanted to celebrate with my boys so I was running around the field.”

In the early going it was Pennsville that struggled on fourth down. The Wolverines denied them three times on the make-or-break down in consecutive possessions in the first half and scored their second touchdown of the game on a fourth-down Middlemiss pass to Andrew White to take a 14-0 lead. They also had four sacks between Rax Hannah and Xavier Csazar in the second quarter to disrupt the Eagles even more.

“I was happy with how we played in the first half; we’ve just got to be able to put a full game together,” Woodstown coach Frank Trautz said. “I know it’s an old saying, but it is what it is. You can’t just win on a half of football. We had too many busted coverages and missed assignments and things like that that came back to bite us.”
