September 28th, 2008
Bellevue 5th grade 15 Ontario 0
The Bellevue fifth graders traveled to Ontario Sunday for their week #4 contest. The Redmen defense kept Ontario in check the entire game and came away with a 15-0 shutout to remain unbeaten on the season.
Maurice Barnhouse broke things open with a 60 yard touchdown run on Bellevue’s third play from scrimmage. Logan Turner added the two point kick. Barnhouse found his way to the endzone once again prior to the half on a 12 yard scamper. Gabe Smythe plowed over for the point after making the score 15-0.
Defense became the name of the game for the second half as the two teams traded the ball back and forth with neither team adding a score.
It was Barnhouse leading the offense with 72 yards on just the two carries. Daniel Thatcher gained 66 yards on eight carries and Smythe added 19 yards and an extra point run. Tyler Henderson contributed with two runs for four yards. Kyle Geary added three yards rushing and completed his only pass from the quarterback position. Jared Hoy hauled in a nine yard pass from Thatcher who ended the day with five completions in six attempts. Collin Hinojosa and Barnhouse had receptions as well.
Seth Linder paced the defense with nine tackles followed by Chase Gore, Logan Vannest, and Henderson each with four. Checking in with three tackles each were Austin Weider, Smythe, and Barnouse while Joshua Lunsford, Tristen Leslie, and Turner each added tackles. Henderson recovered two Ontario fumbles to aid the effort.
Bellevue 6th grade 28 Galion 8
The Redmen sixth grade also remained undefeated on the season with a solid win Sunday at BAF against a physical Galion team. Joe Marin got the Redmen on the board first when he raced 23 yards for the score. Jacob Strayer added the extra point kick for the early 8-0 lead. The big play on the drive was a 55 yard Cole Norman reception from Dylan Dewitt. Quinton Brimmer would get the next touchdown when he returned an interception 12 yards for the score. Galion would come back with a score of their own from 40 yards out. This marked the first points given up by the Bellevue defense this season. Brimmer, better known simply as "Q" would later bull over from three yards out for his second score of the game. Strayer's kick was good once again for a 22-8 third quarter lead. Thomas Pressler tacked on the final score on a quarterback sneak from the one yard line. Dewitt sparked the offense with 147 yards passing going eight for 14. He also rushed 46 yards on seven carries. Clay Fries threw a 32 yard strike to Dewitt, rushed for 24 yards, and caught two passes for 26 yards. Norman led all receivers with 55 yards and rushed once for 14 yards. Isaac Hartley added a clutch 33 yard reception. Pressler hauled in two catches for 25 yards while Austin Guthrie and Grant Vickery both pulled down a reception apiece. Dillion Berkey added a 15 yd run. Kade Chumley and Nathan Sochko each carried twice and each gained four yards. Nick Diso carried once for four yards and Grant Seamon had a six yard run.
Dillion Berkey and Brady Hansard paced the defense with seven tackles each with Hansard recording a sack. Marin had 5 stops. Triston Snezek recorded a sack for a loss of nine yards. Brennen Hay and Diso added three tackles each with Joshua Becks and Grant Moyer each recording two. Caleb Stockmaster made a clutch interception to stall a Galion drive.
Both teams resume action this Sunday with the sixth grade traveling to Shelby while the fifth grade visits Galion. Both teams will close out their seasons the following week when they play host to the Willard Flashes.
