9-16-09 @ Fairport – Our Varsity Panthers traveled to Fairport on Thursday afternoon and took a quick lead with a 70-yard TD run by QB Sean Fitzpatrick on only the game’s second play from scrimmage. The Panthers offense continued its strong first-half play with several great carries by Dom DeLucia and Dan Gaillard. The entire O-Line, led by sophomore C Joe Graen and Junior LG Dominic O’Shaughnessy, led the way throughout the half. Fitzpatrick connected with TE Kenny Apostolakos for 2 key receptions to keep the Panthers drives alive. The Panthers defense continued its streak of scoreless football deep into the 2nd quarter behind the stingy play MarcAnthony Bucci (2 sacks) and junior LBs Ian Solcz and Alex Proper. SS Ryan Sullivan earned his fourth takeaway with a fumble recovery forced by CB Ryan Decker, but Fairport’s O-line began to show some signs of life. In the second half, Fairport went back to the smash-mouth football they are known for, wedge-blocking their way to 2 TDs and the potential game-tying extra point. But CB Ben Gartland streaked around Fairport’s left end and blocked the kick, allowing it to fall harmlessly well short of the uprights. Final score 14-13. Third straight Panthers win. A great effort by all against a “better than advertised” Fairport club. Varsity Panthers. Record 3-0. Next up: Homecoming against the Rush-Henrietta Royal Comets @ St. John Fisher College; kick-off Saturday, 9/26, at 3:00 p.m.
