The Avengers Come From Behind to Win Peewee Title in SMAA Final
monday november 3, 2014
2014 Peewee
Champions
Lanxess Avengers
Weather in the
Peewee game definitely affected
the play as numerous brief
periods of driving, cold rain
made the ball difficult to
handle.
The Vidal
Pharmacy Buzz Saw jumped all
over the Lanxess Avengers in the
first half. Noah Lester opened
the scoring on a 60 yard run.
Following an Avenger fumble, the
Buzz Saw struck again, this time
from 6 yards out on a Rob
Persichetti off tackle play.
The Buzz Saw
increased their lead to 18-0 on
an electrifying 100 yard run by
Persichetti. With 27 seconds
remaining in the first half
Nicholas Vacek put the Avengers
on the board. His convert
narrowed the lead to 18-8 at the
half. It appeared that a
possible upset was in the
making.
However, as they
have done numerous times this
year, the Avengers overcame
their lethargic start with an
outstanding second half. They
scored 20 unanswered points on 2
touchdowns by Lucas Kita and
another by Vacek. Vacek's 2
point convert was the last
scoring of the game as the
Avengers prevailed 28-18.
