Mighty Mite

The Watchung Hills Wolverines welcomed the South Plainfield Eagles to their field this past Sunday for Pop Warner Mighty Might action. The teams played a spirited game that came down to the final plays of the game. The Wolverines relied on their ball control offense and run stuffing defense to yet again dominate the time of possession and controlled the ball for most of the game, while the Eagles capitalized on their playmaking ability and field position.

The Wolverines struck first as QB Adam Cardoza plowed in from 3 yards out near the end of the first half. The play capped a second quarter that saw only three offensive plays on offense for South Plainfield as the Wolverines hogged the ball and kept the Eagles off the field. The offensive line of Jack Dardis, Anthony Yanotta, K.C. Boyle, Shane Kelly and Bryce Rooks consistently pushed back the Eagle front throughout the first half. In the second half the Wolverine attack turned to RB Justin Ferriera and TE Patrick Stefurak to keep the momentum going. Ferriera ended the day with 73 yards on 9 carries, and Stefurak caught 3 passes for 52 yards from QB John Annunziata including one for a score in the 4th quarter.

Defensively, the Wolverines relied on their strong linebacking core of Justin Ferriera, Michael Butrico and Josh Ramierez. Ferriera led the way again totaling 10 tackles. Ramierez had 4 tackles and Butrico had 3 tackles and a forced fumble. The Wolverine Defense held the Eagles to 135 total yards.
