Langhorne: Tonight we welcome Head Coach John Donnelly and the Central Bucks East Patriots for game 9 of the 2022 season.
The 1st quarter flew by with both teams scoreless. Credit to Neshaminy’s defense for forcing a CBE turnover on downs on their 6 yard line on the Patriots’ 1st drive. The ‘Skins only had the ball once in the quarter and turned the ball over on downs on the CBE 20 yard line. The rest of the quarter was all CBE and the clock ran down with the Patriots on Neshaminy’s 7 yard line.
The first play of the 2nd quarter produced CBE’s first touchdown, a 7 yard run by Ethan Shine. The Pats were successful on a 2 point conversion. Score ‘Skins 0 – Patriots 8. The Patriots next play ended in a 70 yard TD run and the Patriots’ PAT was good. Neshaminy had to punt on all three of their possessions. CBE attempted a field goal as the clock ran out but was unsuccessful. Half ended with the score ‘Skins 0 – Patriots 15.
The ‘Skins came out of the locker room ready to go and on their first drive scored on a Markus Burnett power run into the end zone. Kaden Nicastro was right on the money for the extra point. Score ‘Skins 7 – Patriots 15. The Patriots answered right back and Ethan Shine ran the ball for 66 yards for 6 and the PAT was good. The 3rd quarter ended with the score ‘Skins 7- Patriots 22.
The 4th quarter was scoreless as both teams went back and forth and the clock ran out with the score ‘Skins 7- Patriots 22.
Shout out to Joey Zack for being a great teammate. We noticed he took new lineman Owen Swartz under his wing. Way to go Joey Z! Then there is sophomore kicker Kaden Nicastro who has been steady all season. He is 14 for 16 PAT attempts for a 90% accurate rate for the season. Quick thinking by Jared Molle who fell on a punted ball which hit a Patriot player's leg, and by Doyle Swartz for his interception in the 2nd quarter.
Captains for tonight’s game were #88 Nick Buchys, #75 Jack Dunkley, #2 Markus Burnett and #85 Joey Zack.
We are home again next week to face Pennsbury. It is Senior Night so be sure to be there to root for our players for this annual rival game!
Good night Mrs. B!
