Glassboro 35, Pennsville 13 - 09/29/06


A slightly blurring photo because they just run too fast: A pass caught at the one yard line.

Pennsville came out strong and almost scored first as they were stopped at the one. They had attempted a FG from around the 3 and missed, but a penalty gave them another chance and the BULLDOG D stepped up and stopped them. Rowan radio goofed and said that Pennsville had the ball on the one, when the ball had been turned over on downs. I missed most of the broadcast due to too much (nah - never too much) crowd noise near me.

First Bulldog score was just before the end of the half and that took the wind out of the Eagles' sails.

Score was 28- 0 early in the 4th when The Ville finally scored.

Pennsville has nothing to be ashamed about. They just need to learn how to play the big game. They have some very good players. Those who may criticize them for this loss do not know what they are talking about.

BORO line was being pushed around early, but they got it together to run the score up to 28 before Pennsville started moving the ball again to score twice. The line (as in most years) needs to continue to improve game-by-game.

Carr was outstanding on defense as was James.

Still too many dropped passes (including one in the end zone), but the passing game in the second half made a big difference and Akinmoju (6 catches for 74 yds.) had 2 TD catches. Gadson ran for 90 yards and 2 TDs and Hagerty (12 of 19 passing for 201 yds.) scored also. This team has a well balanced attack. You cannot just focus on one or two players. There are so many weapons.

I had a great conversation with an old-timer (related to a current player) who played with Aveni back in the '50's . He was very impressed with a run by Davis.

One very important player collapsed on the side-line with 35.7 seconds left and they ended the game with no further plays. Our prayers are with him for a full recovery. This puts it all into perspective. The game is not about winning and losing - it is about the kids. Nothing else matters but this young man's health right now.

Glassboro 23, Salem 0 - 09/22/06

Defense was outstanding once again.

Too many dropped passes, fumbles and penalties kept the offense from scoring more.

O-Line still needs some work.

Scoring was spread around once again.

Glassboro 41, Clayton 0 - 09/16/06

THE BORO dominated the game as usual and spread the scoring around.

The line could improve.

There was one blocked punt and a sack of the punter deep in Clayton territory which led to 2 TDs.

The defense was outstanding!!!!!


This is a photo from the Deptford game in 2001 which THE BORO won 19-13.
