The Canton
Lions Freshmen Football team came away with another victory last Sunday
as they defeated the Westland Comets 19-6 for their fourth win of the
season.
Justin Reynolds led the offensive attack with two
touchdowns. Darrell Harding, Jr. added a score as well.
Leading the blocking for the Lions was Harding, Jr., Bradley
Tyszkiewicz, Chase Meredith, Ky le Hurley and Julian Gocaj.
The defense was stellar all day and held the Comets to a late
touchdown. Noah Brown had a fumble recovery to go along with
several tackles.
Other defensive standouts were Spencer Brown, Wesley Askew,
Bennett Austin, Connor Flanigan, Rubin Williams, and Eddie Cargor.
Another tough loss for the JV Lions. On a windy Sunday the
Canton Lions took on the Westland Comets. The Lions defense was
hitting hard all day. Lead by solid interior play from Miles
Davenport, Jason Arnold, Eric Daniels, Jackson Austin, Matt Wayne,
Jakob Wickens, Issac Jackson, and Shaw Lyall the Comets found moving
the ball difficult.
Radi Mahanyni, Kyrece Smith and Clayton Declue all played great
defense. Kevin Bindas added a drive stopping interception in the
fourth quarter.
With the score 6-0 after three quarters the defense had done its
job. The offense started rolling in the fourth quarter with
Freddie McGee, Alan Jones, and Jason Arnold running hard.
Evan Voyles connected with Jason Arnold on a screen to gain big
yards. Korey Monacelli, Ryan Posby, Julius Crouch, and Austin Stoneburg
all worked hard to open holes. Both teams scored in fourth
quarter to give the loss to the Lions: 13-7.
Canton travels to Belleville on Sunday October 10 at 2 pm to try
and break this losing streak.
It was a home sweet homecoming for the Lions' varsity. The
Lions rebounded after their loss with an impressive showing against the
Comets, winning 28-14.
The offense was unstoppable thanks in large part to the members
of its Line: Ricky 'Big' Ski, Anthony Kenney, Jake Stropes, Evan
Piontek, and Austin Fisher. The running backs weaved their way through
the Comets D; Chuckie Turfe, Lavelle Steeples, and Ty Jasman had big
days on the ground.
Devastating blocks by Sam Rizzo and Miles Newton made the
running all the easier. QB Bobby 'Sunshine' Guarjardo had a good day
connecting several times with Jake Mallad and Tyler Laurentius.
The defense was stout all day, with hits from Miles Newton that
could be heard all the way in Westland. Stevie Cortelli shared in
making some big hits along with Jason Polander, and Charles Wicker.
Tyler Laurentius added a highlight-film interception, when he
soared through the air to pick off a Comet's pass, ending their drive.
The special teams play of the day was turned in by Tristen Pelky, who
after a five-yard penalty on the Lions, put his kickoff through the
end-zone for a touch-back; a rare feat for little league
football.
Jason
Arnold had a productive day for the Lions.
