Freshman Blue Earns Classic Championship
 | |  | | NYFL 2006 FRESHMAN CHAMPIONS |
You would think with the Varsity's classic playoff win last week verse Waterford, no game could top it. You would be wrong. In the opening game of Superbowl II, the undefeated Clarkston Blue (10-0) took on the undefeated Lapeer Steelers (10-0).
In a battle between two tough defensive units, the game went back and forth with both teams standing up to hold the other team off. The most impressive of the day was when the Lapeer Steelers held the Clarkston Chiefs on three plays inside the 5 yard line as halftime ended deadlocked zero to zero.
The second half was more of the same as the echos of plastic rang thoughout Wisner Stadium as everyone was on the edge of there seats. The anxiety rose as regulation time ended in a zero to zero tie.
Overtime took over as the Chiefs went first from the 10 yard line. On the first play from scrimmage, Blake Monty broke off of right tackle to score the first overtime points. A pass from DJ Zezula to Cole Chewin made the score 8-0. Now it was Lapeers turn. They had no other option but to score. But, the Clarkston Blue Defense would have none of that as the Lapeer offense could not move forward on four plays. The Mighty Chiefs had won the NYFL 2006 Freshman Championship.
Junior Varsity Smacks 1st Loss on Pontiac to win Championship
|  | | NYFL 2006 JUNIOR VARSITY CHAMPIONS | |
When the Clarkston Chiefs Junior Varsity Blue (10-0) marched into Wisner Stadium all odds seemed to be against them. They were going up against a home town crowd and a Pontiac Panther (10-0) team that had an NYFL record 20 straight wins.
But the JV Chiefs seemed to have only one thing on there mind, a NYFL Championship. Time after time, offense after offense, the Junior Varsity Blue seemed to have the motto "Full Steam Ahead" as they stayed between the offensive tackles and banged the historically tough Pontiac defense for 261 rushing yards.
Pontiac could not figure out who to key on as Alex Dicea lead the way with 129 rushing yards and Ian Ericksen was not far behind with 108. Eventually, the Pontiac Panthers could not catch up in the end as the Clarkston Chiefs Junior Varsity Blue had won the NYFL 2006 Junior Varsity Championship 25 to 18 as time ran out.
Varsity Chiefs Finish Season 8-2
In what could only be thought of as a dream, the Varsity took the field at Wisner Stadium attempting to have a full Clarkston Championship Sweep. But, the older and quicker Pontiac Panthers (10-0) pride surfaced as they decided to protect there home field advantage with there fans and the local high school band.
The Chiefs found it hard to stand up against the well coached Pontiac team. But, the Chiefs fought hard, play after play and eventually broke through with a 11 yard Mitch Baenziger pass to CJ Gozdor to insure the undefeated Panthers would not shut them out.
Though the game ended with a 37-6 defeat, this team was truly a team. The local community better keep notice as these boys are some of the best athletes that have come through Clarkston in many years. Congratulations the the 2006 Clarkston Chiefs Varsity. They have truly shown us what heart, grit and desire really means.
