Braves vs. Somenauk
Superlights: Braves 20, Somenauk 7
A good game played by both teams. Our kids got to play different positions in this game and had a lot of fun. The offense, defense, and special teams all did very well. |
Lightweights: Braves 19, Somenauk 0
The LW squad won it's second consecutive game, with a dominant performance on both sides of the ball. The defense did not allow a 1st down to the Nighthawks for the entire game. Smart and disciplined play by defensive ends Sean Walsh, Gavin Carlson, and Tyler Haase forced the Nighthawks to run up the middle on virtually every play, and the interior defensive line refused to give an inch. Interior lineman in on multiple tackles included Brennan Geers, Dakota Kotowski, Spencer Baker, Brendan Purrachio, Matt Martin, Aaron Arroyo and Colin Martin. The dominating defense was complemented by a strong Braves running game that controlled the clock throughout the contest. The offensive line continues to gel as a unit, and put forth it's strongest performance of the season. The Braves marched up the field all afternoon as Matt Holmes, Joe Bulger, Ben Lundberg, Jensen Fryman, Dakota Kotowski, Nathan Simowitz and Richie Toppel opened holes large enough to accomodate Coach Purrachio. Multiple Braves running backs took advantage of the line's play, with Isaiah Hill and Austin Markee leading the Braves in rushing yards. Isaiah Hill (2 touchdowns) and Brian Krippel (1 touchdown) had the scoring honors for the Braves. |
JV: Braves 22, Somenauk 0
The JV Team nailed their first win against Somanauk on Sunday as the offense found their groove with the running game. With a Loughran interception, his second of the season, momentum ignited with Airola scoring first powering his way to paydirt early in the second half followed by a Loughran PAT. The ground and pound continued with Turek blasting up through the middle for a 28 yard touchdown run before the first half expired, PAT missed. Midway through the second half the Braves offense exploded with a touchdown by Holcomb and a successful PAT putting away any chances by the Nighthawks. The Braves defense stifled any attempt by the Nighthawks allowing no first downs the entire contest. |
Varsity: Somenauk 13, Braves 6 (OT)
Great effort by the boys in the heat. |

Braves vs. Seneca
Superlights: Braves 22, Seneca 6
With the first team to play on our new field, the Braves worked very hard for the win. Our offence played very well, with our defence holding Seneca to 6 points. A very good game played by both teams |
| Lightweights: Braves 22, Seneca 6 |
JV: Braves 0, Seneca 14
The Braves met a staunch opponent in Seneca Pride.
It was a battle royale the entire first half until Seneca scored just seconds prior to the first half ending on a half back pass for a Touchdown. Brennan Loughran intercepted a pass to the flat early in the game but the offense came up short as they couldn't stop the blitzing linebackers. Late in the second half the battle continued with the Braves fighting for yardage and the defense stiffened. Late in the game a sweep to the defense's left opened the door for a Seneca Pride touchdown. The Braves battled the entire game but fell short. This is one I am sure the team desires to play again! |
