Fairfield County

With much anticipation going into the game both teams were fired up. Pre-game chants from both sidelines were done like war cries before a big battle. Two teams enter but only one could leave the Victor. Would the Spartans redeem this lost from last year and show why they still are Championship contenders or would they fall to the Ravens again? The opening play could not be predicted as off the snap came the first turnover of the game by 33 Mike Galich. Galich stepped back in the secondary and jumped the pass to get the Ravens the ball early.

The Ravens would go 3 and out and the Defense would have to stop the Spartans who were uneffected by the Interception.  The Spartans return with a sweep only to spit up the ball on a tackle by Ricky Rivera and then recovered by Tim Asbell. This would set up another oppurtunity for the Ravens. 0-0 still in the first quarter but the offense could not change count or move the ball in succession. The Spartans were having a blitz fest.  The Spartans stopped the Ravens and would move the ball on penalties which would end up scoring . Broken play calls and more penalties on Defense would lead to 14-0 run.

Matters would only turn worse as the half was closing. Penalties for neutral zone infractions and face masks with the addition of two good passes from the Spartans allowing them to score on the 1 with less than 30 seconds left of the half.

This was it! The second half only meant that the Ravens would have to move forward and put the first half behind them. Few sideline distractions and frustration would hold the Ravens back but would not put them out. The offense still had trouble putting plays successfully together without being attacked by the Spartans D. The Ravens D stepped up with several big play stops from St. V Padilla. Shawn Belle with blocking from Courtney Southerland and the Big line up front allowed the Ravens to move the ball and make the Spartans play honest D. Unfortunately it was too late and unable to put points on the Board this game and lost 20-0.
