A great day of football and youth soccer in between !!!!

Hello football fans , on sun. June 7th at Roosevelt high school there was some great football played by all 4 teams . The NassauPunishers vs The Esdk and then you had the Roosevelt youth soccer team play a game , Then the Long Island Lions did battle with the Bklyn Seminoles !

Esdk 06
Nassaupunishers 19


1st game punishers vs esdk -This game started of slow both teams went 3 and out on there 1st series , Then the fireworks started in the form of #9 Travis jynx 2 td catches for the game and 3 on the yr ! 1 in the 1st quarter and one in the 3rd . on one he caught a 5 yrd dump from mike leccesse and then turned and left 2 defenders in the dust , but i think the story of this game for the punishers was the o-line and there flawless pass blocking all day !!!!! in football it has to start
at the line of scrimmage and they gave up 0 sacks today, and that led to a break out game for rookie qb Steve Newman #15 and this guy in warm ups was looking intense he had a full sweat going in walk through and it really payed of , on 2 huge td throws one was a catch and run by kelvin lett#25 that's 5 td catches in 3 games and the other was #9 no name needed ! coach Jim said "i thought Newman played his best game so far and i have to use him more. i like having 2 good qbs this is a good problem for me" having 2 quality qbs is great and the competition at this point is wide open !

The defense was stout as usual giving up some big 3rd down plays , but making the big play when it mattered the most . stalling the esdk offense all day was #46 mitchell green or all , except for one great throw and catch by who else #11 divine Jackson ! he is as advertised , the d was led by mlb #1 mike toney 4 tckls 1int 1blckfg and a ff he had a good day when asked if he felt he played good he said " i will play better coach "look out for this guy in the future he is a big part of our d . overall the d really got after the qb in the second half coach Dave turned the dogs loose and it showed in the stat line 3 sacks 4 ints and 2 ff Good day for the punisher d !This is truly not the wolfpack anymore Shawn Spencer is tireless for his guys constantly trying to recruit and it showed #15, #1, #11,#2, and the rb # 24 all had big plays when they needed ! play after play they kept coming and played to the last whistle , in yrs past after you scored on them they just quit , not today and they will be the class of the long island division in the r.a.f.l. , they have lost 4 in a row but they are still my pick to win there division and they have some great talent over there , if they had some coaches they might have won this game but that's the way the cookie crumbles in minor league football you go with what you got period !!!!!!!!!!


after this game there was a youth soccer game roosevelt won 3 -1



Then game 2 The LongIsland lions vs The Bklyn Seminoles

Seminoles 14
lions 08

This game was fast and hard hitting i mean the lbs for the seminoles were flying all over the field and were pitching a shutout in to the fourth , and #2 g-bloc is as advertised he is hell ! trying to make plays with his feet and his arm and then he even plays d he is an athlete !!!!! the noles opened the scoring early on 2 great plays of the catch and run variety and it stayed 14-00 until 3 min into the 4th , ray waiters #33 for the lions was all over the field him and #1 the mlb from the lions looked like a young ray lewis and chris mccallister ! i mean they were hitting everything that moved !!!!!! and they only gave up 14 pts of broken plays were the qb broke containment , but the lions offense still looked lost they are way too small in the o-line and they were getting out physicaled all day ! they need to figure out if they are a running team or a passing team . don bonccarsa kicked very well today for the lions with some good punts but the d was the story they never quit and thats what you want to build on it is a work in progress but they have some players overthere and will right the ship ! remember this is pre season so it was good to get work in , But also you play TO WIN THE GAMES ! as players and coaches dont let the competitive nature get lost in oh we only need work , or its just pre season excuse thats not how the attitude of a CHAMPIONSHIP FOOTBALL team is built . gotta change the culture here on the island and the time is now ! have a great week ! there will be game updates on fri so stay tuned !!!
