By Raleigh Pfeiffer
Packing up their pads, jerseys, and cleats, the JV boys headed to Wayne for their last game of the season. They faced off against the Wayne Blue Devils on Monday the 19th with a 5 p.m. kickoff. The Pierce boys bulldozed through the game, ending with a score of 42-0 and finishing off the season with a win. The JV boys ended their season with a winning record of 5-2.
In the first quarter, the Bluejays started strong, leading 14-0. Continuing to lead, the Bluejays scored three more touchdowns to reach 35-0 and end the half. Fresh out of halftime, the Bluejays scored one more touchdown while the Blue Devils scored none. Neither team scored in the final quarter, but coaches substituted in many Pierce players.
The boys had many strengths throughout the night as they showcased their talent on the field.
“The offense was really good because we could execute our plays. Defense made a number of good plays also. The offensive line did a good job blocking. Overall, one of our best games of the year,” JV Coach Grant Doerr says.
Various players excelled throughout the game. Freshmen Travis Monroe and Colton Hanna scored one touchdown. Freshman Carter Unger and sophomore Keegan Holan each had two touchdowns.
Unger also had two interceptions, and Hanna had one. Freshmen Dagen Halsey and Austin Flesner both had one fumble recovery.
Being the last game of the season for these boys, the players are looking back on their success and how they morphed into such a strong JV team.
“The beginning was rough. We played good opponents, but as the season went on, we got better. I’m excited to see what this group can do in a year or two,” Doerr says.
Despite their final game being a victory, there is always room for improvement for the upcoming season.
“We should just start off the season better,” freshman Brysan Jones states.
Congratulations to the JV players on a great season. We can not wait to see what next year holds!
