WCAC Football Poll: Week 7

Posted on 21 October 2008 by .

WCAC Football Top-10

1.    Good Counsel, 7-0, LW 1
Good Counsel made short work of McNamara but St. John’s will be a different story. Then again, I thought the Good Counsel-DeMatha game would be a barn-burner. Good Counsel blew out O’Connell who nearly beat St. John’s.
Next: Saturday at McNamara, 2

2.    DeMatha, 5-2, LW 2
The Stags beat up on Gonzaga in D.C. but will likely face a more challenging test this week against O’Connell. Tommy Chroniger continues to impress with his running abilities.
Next: Saturday at Gonzaga, 2

3.    St. John’s, 6-1, LW 3
The Cadets are becoming the master of pulling out close games. Ed Thomas continues to impress and even quarterback Robert Cadle is getting a lot of reps and doing well. St. John’s needs to keep it close against the Falcons and hope to pull it out.
Next: Friday at Good Counsel, 7

4.    O’Connell, 5-2, LW 4
O’Connell was tied with Carroll at halftime. Joshua Trimble had 19 rushes for 95 yards to pull the Knights to a win.
Next: Saturday vs. DeMatha, 2

5.    Gonzaga, 2-5, LW 5
The Eagles had a lot of momentum going into the DeMatha game. They have to try to get up again realizing that Paul VI is a very good team hungry to get a win.
Next: Friday at Paul VI, 2

6.    McNamara, 3-4, LW 6
The Mustangs slip below .500 and it’s looking difficult for them to get into the WCAC playoffs. They need to beat Carroll on Saturday and then hope to take out O’Connell. McNamara’s defense needs to step up after being thrashed the last two games.
Next: Saturday vs. Carroll, 2

7.    Paul VI, 2-5, LW 7
You’ve got to feel for the Panthers. In the past three weeks they’ve taken Bishop McNamara, DeMatha and St. John’s to the wire and come up with three losses to show for it. This may be the week to rebound.
Next: Friday vs. Gonzaga, 7

8.    Bishop Ireton, 2-5, LW 8
Ireton lost its second straight against Riverdale Baptist and is struggling without the senior leadership it had last season. A game against Ryken could help ease the pain, however.
Next: Saturday vs. St. Mary’s Ryken, 2

9.    Archbishop Carroll, 1-6, LW 9
Carroll gave O’Connell a run for its money in perhaps the most surprising game of the weekend. There’s no doubt that the Lions have talent, but can they put together a full game and win?
Next: Saturday at McNamara, 2

10.    St. Mary’s Ryken, 1-6, LW 10
It’s not pretty in Southern Maryland now, but I have no doubt that Bob Harmon and the Knights are working hard and will improve in the coming seasons. They have another chance to improve against a team like themselves, an WCAC football outsider.
Next: Saturday at Bishop Ireton, 2

Monday Morning Quarterback: Week 7

Posted on 20 October 2008 by .

Weekly Awards

Offensive Player of the Week: Ed Thomas, St. John’s
Thomas led St. John’s to a double overtime win over Paul VI. He threw five times for 109 yards and two touchdowns passes, including the game-winning touchdown pass. He also ran 26 times for 111 yards and one touchdown that tied the game to send it to a second overtime.

Defensive Player of the Week: Louis Young, Good Counsel
The possession after catching a 40-yard touchdown pass against McNamara, Young picked off a pass and returned it 75 yards for a touchdown.

Special Teams Player of the Week: Matt Elsasser, St. John’s
A third time straight! Elsasser has really proven to be a weapon at Coach Joe Patterson’s disposal. He booted two field goals, one from 31 yards and another from 23, and went 4-for-4 on extra point attempts.

Offensive Play of the Week: Jeff Knox, DeMatha
Knox took the end-around handoff and turned the corner against Gonzaga. He was soon met by a Purple Eagle but the 6-foot-3 Knox leapt over him and stretched the ball out over the goal line. Just awesome.

Defensive Play of the Week: Raheem Cardwell, DeMatha
Cardwell intercepted Gonzaga’s first pass of the second half, setting up a DeMatha touchdown that started the rout on Saturday. Otherwise, it could have been a close game.

Hit of the Week: Marcus Coker, DeMatha
This marks the first time than an offensive player gets hit of the week, but Coker deserves it for running over a Gonzaga player on this 5-yard carry. You have to watch closely but this is a railroad collision.

Quote of the Week: Raheem Cardwell, DeMatha
“Smiling starts enthusiasm.”

Round-Up

Game of the Week: St. John’s 34, Paul VI 27 (2OT)
These two teams went back-and-forth all night. Paul VI running back Idreius Augustas kept the Panthers in the game with 132 yards rushing but Ed Thomas was just too much down the stretch as he relied on his legs to pull the Cadets most of the way and his arm to win it in double overtime.
(VIDEO OF THIS GAME HOPEFULLY POSTED IN THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS)

DeMatha 35, Gonzaga 6
The Stags needed to show they could handle a team and they did just that behind a balanced effort. DeMatha did most of its damage on the ground behind Tommy Chroniger, Marcus Coker and Aaron Conaway.

Good Counsel 42, McNamara 6
Caleb Porzel and Jelani Jenkins did their thing, rushing for 112 and 72 yards, respectively, and combining for two touchdowns. Louis Young had a standout game on offense and defense as the Falcons continue to roll over their WCAC competition.

O’Connell 20, Carroll 14
The Lions certainly put more of a scare into O’Connell than many would have expected.

Riverdale Baptist 20, Bishop Ireton 14
The Cardinals gave a good Riverdale Baptist team quite a challenge but came up short, losing their second straight game.

Sidwell Friends 40, St. Mary’s Ryken 0
The Knights are shut out for the second straight game and fall to previously winless Sidwell Friends.

Field Hockey: Holy Cross 3, Elizabeth Seton 1

Holy Cross senior Maggie Davis thought she had the WCAC field hockey playoff system figured out before Monday’s game started. At least she’s hoping she did.

Even with Holy Cross hanging onto a one-goal lead late in the second half, Davis knew the Tartans needed one more goal to likely seal the WCAC regular season championship based on goal differential.

So with left than five minutes remaining, Davis delivered, scoring a backhanded goal to give Holy Cross a 3-1 home win Monday on Senior Day in what could be a preview of the WCAC championship game.

“My first instincts were to just hit it in to someone inside the circle,” Davis said. “I didn’t know it was going to go in, but I’m happy it did. I just aimed for the goal.”

Holy Cross is now 7-1 and Elizabeth Seton is 6-1 with one WCAC game remaining against St. Mary’s Ryken on Friday. If Elizabeth Seton wins that game, as expected, that would leave the Tartans and Roadrunners tied at regular season’s end.

The two teams split their season series as well. Just a week ago, Elizabeth Seton defeated Holy Cross for the first time in its program history in a second overtime shootout, thus earning a 1-0 win.

Thus, the deciding tie-breaker for the regular season championship is likely goal differential in the two teams’ two match-ups, which Holy Cross would win since it won 3-1 Monday and lost 1-0 last week.

“I didn’t know exactly, but I thought that might be the determining factor,” Davis said. “There wasn’t very much time left so we just knew we had to get it in.”

After a scoreless first half, Holy Cross senior Katie Slater broke the tie with a penalty stroke. Holy Cross was awarded the penalty stroke when a shot that would have certainly gone in his a Elizabeth Seton player’s leg, Holy Cross Coach Candy Thurman explained.

With the two teams battling through two halves and two overtimes of scoreless field hockey the last time they met, it seemed as if that would be enough. But Holy Cross had to win by two. The Tartans got another goal just four minutes, 16 later when Hayley Katzenberger redirected a Slater smack into the back of the cage.

Katzenberger, who missed last Monday’s game because she was on an official visit to the University of Florida, was a huge boost to the Tartans’ offense.

Elizabeth Seton wasn’t through, however. With five minutes, 51 seconds remaining in the game, senior Katie Rogers stuck in a hard shot that brought the score to 2-1 and once again leaving the Tartans short of the WCAC title by one goal.

Coach Thurman called a timeout and told her girls what she needed.

“I was kind of shocked when they scored the one,” Thurman said. “We called a timeout and I said, ‘You need to get down there and get a corner and you need to pull us ahead. You need to make sure you don’t give up any more goals and you have to score one.’”

Reminded of what was at stake, Holy Cross looked determined to knock one more goal in. And after a few quality chances, Davis took a pass from Slater and slid it into the left side of the cage for the Tartans’ third goal.

“She does a lot of stick work and she was kind of overdoing stick work and getting it caught just a little too much,” Thurman said. “I like them to be selective about using the reverse stick and that was a beautiful example of when to use it. That was a great shot.”

Football: DeMatha 35, Gonzaga 6

Posted on 19 October 2008 by .

CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE PHOTO GALLERY!

Last week DeMatha football Coach Bill McGregor implemented a new drill at practice. He wanted to work on his team’s smiling.

McGregor, as did the rest of the team, felt the Stags have been uptight from the pressures of living up to last year’s phenomenal senior class and extending DeMatha’s WCAC championship streak to an unprecedented six straight.

So McGregor asked his players to smile, to enjoy themselves.

After Saturday’s 35-6 win over Gonzaga, McGregor told his players to show him their faces and he checked for those smiles once again. And this time he found them.

“Smiling starts enthusiasm,” DeMatha senior linebacker Raheem Cardwell said. “Then we pass it on and pass it on and work together. When one gets up the whole team gets up.”

Cardwell said the Stags have felt down this season. First there was the shocking loss to Gilman on Sept. 12 in which DeMatha seemed to have the game in hand. On Oct. 2 the Stags took a 42-21 loss on national television to Good Counsel and followed that up with a less-than-stellar performance against Paul VI in which they won 21-13.

After the Paul VI game McGregor gathered the team and when he looked at his players faces he saw them nonverbally asking, “Did we do ok or did we not do ok?”

“The answer is yes, we did absolutely fantastic,” McGregor said. “We won the football game, 21-13, and it was a big, big win. Any WCAC win is a great win.”

That’s when McGregor started smile checks.

“The level of expectation is very very high and the kids are doing a great job,” McGregor said. “We’re going to be happy.”

After stalling on its first drive, DeMatha (5-2, 3-1) scored on its second in just four plays. Quarterback Tommy Chroniger got the offense rolling with back-to-back runs eating up 31 yards and Jeff Knox finished it off with a leaping end-around for the touchdown.

But Gonzaga (2-5, 2-2), who was coming off a huge win against McNamara, hung around despite not being able to generate much offense. Gonzaga never made it past the 50-yard line in the first half.

DeMatha, who was hampered by penalties all game, scored its second touchdown on a long drive featuring 35 yards rushing from Marcus Coker and 60 by Aaron Conaway, who ran 17 yards for the touchdown.

The Stags drove one more time at the end of the first half but were forced to settle for a 22-yard field goal on first down by Michael Branthover to give DeMatha a 15-0 halftime lead.

The score shouldn’t have been surprising considering last year’s WCAC champion team only beat Gonzaga, 7-6, in a fight to the very end.

But this year’s team essentially put the game away on the first play of the second half. Gonzaga sophomore quarterback Kevin Hogan stepped back and thought Cardwell was moving to his right. Cardwell instead slid to his left and intercepted the ball right at his chest. Two plays later, DeMatha’s Coker was in the end zone and the Stags had a 22-0 lead 47 seconds into the second half.

“I just played my coverage, did my job and the ball just happened to be placed in hands,” Cardwell said.

The Stags said the win would provide a good confidence boost before next week’s game against O’Connell, who is also 5-2 overall.

“We know we have our hands full when we go over to O’Connell next week,” McGregor said.

Football: St. John’s 34, Paul VI 27 (2OT)

Posted on 19 October 2008 by .

By Joe Kvartunas
Paul VI Student

In a game that seemingly couldn’t be decided one way or another, in which both teams shot back at one another each couple of minutes, St. John’s pulled off a goal line stand.

St. John’s beat Paul VI Friday, 34- 27 in double overtime, pulling out yet another win in the final minutes to improve to 6-1 and 4-0 in the WCAC. St. John’s has now come down to the wire against Calvert Hall, Bishop McNamara, O’Connell and Paul VI while coming out on top in each.

Paul VI, on the other hand, has dropped three straight close games, falling to McNamara, DeMatha and now the Cadets.

Just when it seemed like the Panthers had forced the Cadets’ backs to the wall, senior quarterback Ed Thomas connected with junior Charles Brown for a 23-yard touchdown pass to take the lead.

Thomas rushed 26 times for 111 yards and one touchdown and completed 5-of-13 passes for 109 yards.

Paul VI got the ball back on the 25. After 12 plays and two first downs, the Panthers had a fourth-and-goal on the 10-yard line. The pass from junior quarterback Trevon Bennett fell incomplete, but an interference call on St. John’s gave the Panthers a first down. Still, four plays later Paul VI was unable to punch it in.

“I think we fought that entire drive, and it really shows the character of our team,” Paul VI Coach Pat McGroarty said. “That drive really summed up our season, we play every team hard, but unfortunately we don’t catch any breaks.”

Paul VI got the ball to start the game scored on their opening drive on a 25-yard touchdown pass from Bennett to senior wide receiver Dominic Sanders, but the Panthers would not score again until the third quarter.

St. John’s answered right back with a 30-yard touchdown pass of its own from Thomas to senior running back Donald Quarles. St. John’s kicker Matt Elsasser booted two field goals in the second quarter to out them up 13- 7.

Early In the third quarter, Panther’s junior running back Idreas Augustus broke off a 25-yard run for a touchdown. But Christopher Purdue, who was filling in for PVI’s injured starting kicker Owen Scarborough, had his extra point kick blocked.

Purdue would get another chance when PVI senior Dan McGroarty intercepted a pass and returned it 40 yards to the St. John’s 7-yard line. From there, Augustus ran it in for a touchdown and Purdue kicked the point after to put the Panthers up by seven.

“There were times when both teams moved the ball, but both defenses would always step up when needed.” McGroarty said.

Eight minutes, 34 seconds later Brown ran the ball in for a touchdown of his own and with the extra point good the game was all tied up.

In overtime the two teams traded touchdowns. PVI scored on a 20-yard pass from Bennett to junior Mike Lyons, and St. John’s scored on a 20-yard run by Thomas.

Volleyball: O’Connell 3, Paul VI 2

Posted on 16 October 2008 by .

By Joe Kvartunas
Paul VI student

Bishop O’Connell defeated Paul VI Wednesday night 3-2. The Knights victory caused a split in the season series between the two rivals with each team winning on the road. O’Connell lost 3-1 in the teams’ first meeting this season.

The Knights (10-7) got out to a huge early lead in the fifth and final game on Wednesday. But just when it seemed to be over, the Panthers came roaring back with a six-point run. But the Knights were able to regain their composure and win the game and the match 15- 11.

“I think my girls were really fired up today,” O’Connell Coach Mike Barnett said. “They wanted it bad to make up for not getting it done the first time. I have a very young team and they needed more experience. They are really gaining that throughout the year.”

Paul VI won the first game, 25- 19. The game was close the entire way through, with PVI coming out on top with a 7-3 run to end the game.

But the Knights fought back and won the second game 25- 17, the largest margin of victory of the night.

This was, however, not an easy task. Paul VI’s student cheering section the “6th Man” was out in full force in support of they’re team. But try as they might, the tenacious 6th Man of PVI could not disrupt the concentration of the O’Connell knights players as the Knights went on to win the next game as well 25- 20.

“We have a lot of school spirit here.” Panthers Coach Sam Farrar said. “Early in the season we challenged the kids and asked them to come out one time. I told them if they don’t like it to go home but they saw the level of talent that these girls have and now they really support us. We really do have a great tradition here.”

Down two games to one, the Panthers needed a win to push it two a fifth game, and they delivered a 25- 17 win. But when it came down to the fifth game, O’Connell was able to pull out the win in the Panthers’ frantic gym.

Farrar was still very pleased with his team.

“I couldn’t be happier with the team’s effort,” Farrar said. “We have a great future and our kids work really hard every single day. Our kids aren’t afraid of anyone. They respect their opponents, but they don’t back down.”

Field Hockey: Elizabeth Seton 1, Holy Cross 0

Posted on 14 October 2008 by .

By Ryan Mink
rmink@digitalsports.com

There were a couple spare minutes between the first and second period of overtime penalty strokes, so Elizabeth Seton Coach Meghan Sheperd jogged onto the field to meet her goalie.

Senior goalie Shanelle Newman was visibly hanging her head. She had surrendered three goals in the first penalty stroke period only to be saved by her teammates who connected on their final three shots to send the game to a second set of strokes.

Sheperd grabbed Newman’s facemask and the two connected eyes. “You’ve seen their best five [shooters],” Sheperd told her. “You know what to do. You’re a senior. You’ve got this.”

Newman saved all five of Holy Cross’ penalty strokes the second time around and senior Kate Connolly scored the decisive goal on the Roadrunners’ fourth stroke of the second period to give Elizabeth Seton its first-ever field hockey win over Holy Cross on Monday, 1-0.

“It was definitely the best senior game ever in history,” Sheperd said. “It was the most exciting field hockey game I’ve ever seen in high school.”

Around 200 fans crowded Elizabeth Seton’s field, including DeMatha students, the Elizabeth Seton soccer team and countless other new spectators. Since there was no school on Monday, the Elizabeth Seton field hockey players actively had to campaign to get fans and it paid off.

After two scoreless halves of regulation, two scoreless overtimes and one tied penalty strokes set, Newman made a save on Holy Cross’ fifth and final penalty stoke of the second period and the fans poured onto the field as the Seton girls all dog-piled on top of their goalie.

“She was a warrior,” Sheperd said of Newman. “She was resilient.”

The rivalry between Elizabeth Seton and Holy Cross has been a tight one in recent years. Last season Holy Cross beat the Roadrunners, 3-2, in the WCAC semifinals after Elizabeth jumped out to a 2-0 lead at halftime and dominated the play of the game.

But in the six years of WCAC field hockey, in which Sheperd has coached the Roadrunners all six years, Elizabeth Seton has always come up short.

This year, the two teams couldn’t settle this year’s rivalry in regulation.

“We both had our opportunities, no doubt,” Sheperd said. “We are just two evenly-matched teams.”

It didn’t look good for Elizabeth Seton once again after Holy Cross scored on its first two strokes of the first penalty strokes period and the Roadrunners missed both of theirs. But with goals by by senior Katie Rogers, Blair Johnson and Sophie Shiaris, Elizabeth Seton climbed back and tied the Tartans, 3-3.

Despite coming up with clutch saves to send the game into another shootout series, Newman was shaken by the fact that she had almost cost her team the victory.

After Sheperd’s pep talk, each team sent out a new set of five shooters. The same shooters from the first shootout cannot participate in the second set. Each team was held scoreless until Connolly buried her shot.

Of course, Elizabeth Seton didn’t make its fifth shot, giving Holy Cross a chance to force a third shootout if it made its final shot.

Sheperd yelled to a nervous Newman that it didn’t matter if she didn’t save the shot, that it would just mean another overtime. But with a spectacular save, Newman sealed Elizabeth Seton’s finest field hockey moment to date.

Newman now has 102 saves and just 14 goals against on the year. Sheperd estimated that she had 15 saves on Monday.

The win gives Elizabeth Seton the top spot in the WCAC standings for now with a 9-5 record. Holy Cross is in second at 6-4-1. Both Elizabeth Seton and Holy Cross have beaten last year’s champion, Good Counsel, twice during the regular season.

However, Elizabeth Seton and Holy Cross will meet again, this time in Kensington, next Monday.

“Holy Cross still has a chance of regular season champion,” Sheperd said. “And it’s their senior night. It should be good.”

WCAC Football Poll: Week 6

Posted on 14 October 2008 by .

WCAC Football Top-10

1.    Good Counsel, 6-0, LW 1
After a 41-14 win over O’Connell last Friday, it’s beginning to look like Good Counsel and everyone else.
Next: Saturday at McNamara, 2

2.    DeMatha, 3-2, LW 2
The Stags were challenged by Paul VI, which either shows that DeMatha is beatable by someone other than Good Counsel this year or shows that Paul VI is a whole lot better than 2-4.
Next: Saturday at Gonzaga, 2

3.    St. John’s, 5-1, LW 3
The Cadets are getting closer and closer to knocking DeMatha out of the No. 2 spot. They can make a case for that by having a better showing against Paul VI than DeMatha did. St. John’s is loving the maturation of Ed Thomas at quarterback.
Next: Friday at Paul VI, 7

4.    O’Connell, 4-2, LW 4
The Knights lost their second straight game against a top WCAC opponent but did play hard against Good Counsel. O’Connell is still in good shape and in the driver’s seat for a playoff berth.
Next: Saturday at Archbishop Carroll, 2

5.    Gonzaga, 2-4, LW 7
A win over McNamara is huge for the Eagles. A win over DeMatha would be much, much bigger. The offensive line will have to step up again for the Eagles.
Next: Saturday vs. DeMatha, 2

6.    McNamara, 3-3, LW 5
There wasn’t many good things to take from Saturday’s game for McNamara. In more bad news, Good Counsel is next. However, this could be the perfect opportunity for McNamara to erase Saturday’s memory.
Next: Saturday vs. Good Counsel, 2

7.    Paul VI, 2-4, LW 6
The Panthers have shown they have the ability to challenge some of the WCAC’s top teams. They weren’t far behind DeMatha and were extremely close to beating McNamara. Now they just need to win one and they get another chance Friday.
Next: Friday vs. St. John’s, 7

8.    Bishop Ireton, LW 8
The momentum Bishop Ireton gained in a win over previously undefeated St. Stephen’s/St. Agnes was lost in a loss to St. Christopher’s. The offense put up 21 but the defense can’t give up 45 points.
Next: Friday at Riverdale Baptist, 7

9.    Archbishop Carroll, LW 9
Carroll couldn’t handle St. John’s and O’Connell won’t be much easier if at all.
Next: Saturday vs. O’Connell, 2

10.    St. Mary’s Ryken, LW 10
St. Mary’s Ryken is still taking its lumps but has a chance to get its second win of the season Saturday as it faces winless Sidwell Friends of the MAC conference.
Next: Saturday at Sidwell Friends, 2:30
