A balanced
attack led the Canton Lions freshmen football team to an impressive
25-13 victory over the Rochester Redskins on Sunday.
The offensive blocking was strong thanks to yeoman efforts from
David Mason, Carter Kahl, Julian Gocaj, Tyler Walton and Matthew
Pelukas. Two touchdown runs by Victor Abraham and a quarterback sneak
by Evan Voyles highlighted the scoring by the Lions offense. The
defense was very stingy all day led by key tackles from Noah Brown,
Joey Glunt, Cody Tapp and Colton (C.J.) Wieloch.
The varsity Lions dropped a 38-3 decision to the Redskins. Evan
Thomas' 25-yard field goal in the first quarter was the Lions' only
offensive score.
Michael San Millan and Sam Rizzo had solid offensive back
performances. Dean Underwood, Zack Tinglan and Manmeet Singh had good
results on the offensive line. Andrew Hunt deflected two passes on
defense, while Anthony Kenney also contributed on tackles for the
defense.
The Lions' JV turned in a valiant effort before falling,
28-14, to the visiting Redskins. The Lions' defensive line
was led by Freddie McGhee, who came up with several big plays in the
game.
The offense was led by running back Chucky Turfe, who scored a
TD early in the game. In the second half, QB Robert Guajardo hooked up
with tight end Jake Mallard for a long TD pass. Allonte Wheeler
provided a big block on the play. Next week, the Lions will look to
bounce back when they travel to Westland to take on the Comets.
The Lions' junior freshmen played a great game against the
Redskins. The running game was fueled by strong blocking from Preston
Parana, Kameron Arnold, Robby Begley and Nathan Hunt, resulting in
touchdown runs from Steven Shoats-Thomas, Justin Reynolds and Darrell
Harding, Jr.
The Lions' defense shutout the Redskins with exceptional
tackling led by Kyle Hurley, Sheldon Lyall and Evan Peterson.
