game 2 hh

Horsham: The second game of the Redskins 2010 season saw them on the road once again as they traveled to Horsham to take on SOL Continental Conference member Hatboro. And with both teams winning their opening games in tight contests last week, the table was set to see which club would go to 2-0 and which would fall to 1-1.

Getting to the action on the field, the 'Skins won the toss and after securing the kickoff they marched right down the field for a score as Anthony Woodroffe capped off that initial Neshaminy drive with a five-yard run; however, with the PAT blocked, the score stood at 6-0. Then catching a break, a fumble by the Hatters on their first offensive effort gave the 'Skins the ball again at the enemy 24. The short drive that followed saw Corey Majors take it in from the one. Sean Ulmer then pulled in a Charlie Marterella pass for the two-point conversion to finish up that effort by Langhorne.

With the score at 14-0 for Neshaminy, the Hatters next drive went nowhere and after the punt another Tribe drive ended with Majors scoring his second TD of the night. With the point after good, it was 21-0 for The Moleskinners as the second-quarter got underway.

Still looking ragged on offense, the Hatters just couldn't find any footing and were forced to punt again. Getting back to offense, the 'Skins looked unstoppable as everything seemed to be working. Then just like that it was Tadas Karusevicius snagging a Marterella toss for another Langhorne touchdown. With the point after kick on the money, the score then spun to 28-0 for the Blue & Red. From there on out, though, the remainder of the first half slowed down to a meandering crawl as neither team showed much sparkle. With the gun sounding the end of the first 24 minutes, it was still all Neshaminy.

The second-half saw the Hatters receiving the kickoff and looking a bit snappier as the home team stitched together some nice moves to take the ball into Redskin territory before a penalty pulled it back mid-field. But still swinging for the fences, it took Majors stuffing the Hatter QB on 4th down before the ball went back to Neshaminy at its own 37 yard line. From there it was the Redskins driving non-stop to the Hatter endzone for another score as Justin Andrews hauled in a Marterella air-strike for a Tribe touchdown. The PAT was then right down the middle and it then went to 35-0 for Neshaminy.

Showing they weren't quitters, the Hatters grabbed the ensuing kickoff and returned it to the Redskin 25. That was then followed by a short and smart Hatboro drive which made the score 35-7 after the touchdown and point after boot.

With the game then going to the fourth quarter, the teams began to substitute freely as the clock slowly burned through the last 12 minutes to the final gun. And as there was no more scoring in that period, the game went into the books unchanged from the last TD by the Hatters.

So here it comes: Game to 'Skins!
