UREY SWEEPS TRITON The Urey Falcons took a pair of victories from the Triton Trojans with solid defense and big plays on offense on Tuesday, Sept. 24th. UREY 26-TRITON 0 When the visitors held onto the ball for the entire first quarter and seemed ready to score at the 10 yard line to begin the second quarter, it looked as if the Urey seventh grade

football team would be in for their toughest test yet. After the defense stopped the Trojans at the 10, the offense quickly went to work as Chris Keck carried the ball 74 yards on the first play to set up a Ryan Sheaks touchdown run two plays later, making the score 6-0 in favor of the Urey Falcons early in the second quarter. The defense then went to work, shutting down Triton’s offense on three plays. After a pair of long runs by Keck and Sheaks, Greg Engel powered the ball for a 21- yard touchdown, running over the final Trojan defender. Sheaks scampered in for the two point conversion and a 14-0 Falcon lead. After another defensive stand was capped off when Denny Emmons blocked the Triton punt, the Falcons put the final points on the board for the first half when quarterback Will Groves found his favorite receiver, Jeff Aldrich, and a 38 yard touchdown reception to end the half with Urey leading 20-0. On the second play of the second half, Sheaks sprinted around the outside and scored on a 63-yard run. The offenseive line, lead by center Jeremy McCoige and including Dan Ramsey, Kyle O’Dell, Kyle Lichtenbarger, Derek Daube and Bob Egger, controlled the rest of the game, running out the clock to ensure the Falcon victory. A late drive by Triton brought the ball to within the eight yard line on first and goal, but the Falcon defense rose to the occasion, stopping the Trojans on the two. Fine defensive performances were registered by Frank Andert, Scott Jones and Marc Stump at the corners, as well as linebackers McCoige, Aldrich, Groves and Engel. The seventh grade record now stands at 4-0. UREY 18 - TRITON 0 The eighth grade game saw a battle of two tough defenses and looked like it could have been a scoreless first half until fullback Jason Coffman broke several tackles and took off 64-yards down the middle of the field to score the

only points of the first half fiving Urey the lead with 1:16 left on the clock in the half. The second half was completely dominated by the defense, as the Falcons registered a key interception by cornerback Jeff Alexander and a fumble recovery by linebacker Chris Adkins. Adkins would later have a long touchdown run nullified by a penalty. In the fourth quarter, Phil Crone stripped the ball from a Trojan running back and Coffman scooped up the ball and sprinted 50yards for a touchdown and a 12-0 Falcon lead. On the next Triton offensive series, Coffman it would be jarring the ball loose and Crone running 40 yards for the TD and an 18-0 lead.
