Giuliano Scavetta added 19 yards and a touchdown and Tracy Marshall had 17 yards. Nah’mere Graves led the way with 112 yards and a pair of scores while Logan Perez added 48 yards on 13 carries and Michael Tomasetti had 57 yards on 10 carries. The Minutemen ran the ball 54 times and racked up 382 yards and seven touchdowns. Silver going down early created an opportunity for a host of other running backs to get some carries - and, man, did they ever get some carries. I was saying to myself, ‘please let this be a good snap.'” I was hoping I didn’t fumble (on my first snap).

That fumble recovery really boosted us and helped us score that first touchdown. Last year I got hurt and couldn’t really finish my freshman year, so this was my first varsity experience,” Dzierzgowski said. I feel like they had my back the whole way and that helped me out a lot.

The Minutemen forced a fumble on the Eagles’ second play from scrimmage and a few plays later star senior running back Jo’Nathan Silver scored from 6 yards out to give Township a quick 7-0 lead.Ī couple plays into the next possession, however, Silver went down with an apparent knee injury and didn’t return.
