Jackson Northwest Mounties add Belleville Tigers as Week 4 opponent in 2009

The Jackson Northwest Mounties have found a replacement for Tecumseh in 2009.

For the first time, the Mounties will play the Belleville Tigers, according to michigan-football.com.

Belleville went 0-9 in 2008 and in 2007.

In fact, the Tigers haven't won a game since Oct. 6, 2006 when they beat Dearborn Fordson, 21-14. Belleville finished the 2006 season 2-7.

Belleville in 2009 will also play Redford Union, a team some Northwest fans may recall from the late 1980s and early 1990s.

"Mounties Lose With Weak Defense"

By Jeff Rietsma

Once again weak defense cost the game for the Northwest Mounties (0-2), as Lansing Catholic Central (2-0) romped over Northwest, 41-6.

Northwest's passing and rushing Saturday combined for a total of 117 yards. Lansing Catholic's Jon Tellier ran a total of 98 yards and scored two touchdowns in the first quarter alone.

On Northwest's first possession of the game David Weller's punt was partially blocked, putting the ball at Northwest's 37 for Lansing Catholic. Tellier ran the final 10 yards to score the Cougars first touchdown. With a conversion, it was 7-0.

Northwest got the ball back only to have Scott Robertson's pass intercepted by Greg Pirochta, who ran it back 32 yards to the Mounties' 38. Again, Tellier capped the series with a 2-yard run, scoring the second of his three touchdowns of the night. The extra point was wide to the right, leaving the Mounties trailing 13-0.

Bad went to worse as the Cougars struck again in the second quarter. Lansing Catholic's offense marched 43 yards in five plays, including passes of 22 and 11 yards, to put them up 20-0.

The fourth touchdown for Lansing Catholic came on their next possession. Weller's punt was blocked and recovered by Lansing Catholic at the Northwest 7. Runs of 6 and 1 yards by Jon Tellier inflated Lansing Catholic's lead to 27-0.

With 1:02 left to play in the half, Brian Jaccobs of the Cougars caught a 12-yard pass from his teammate-quarterback, David Hudson, to end a 67-yard drive.

For the second time in two games, Northwest went into the locker room without a point at the end of the first half. But Head Coach Tom Goodwin is quite confident about the team.

"We have the ability, we just have to put it all together," he said.

The Mounties finally got on the scoreboard with 2:31 to play in the third quarter. Northwest's Quinn Snedeker recovered a fumble at the Mountie 30-yard line. The 70-yard drive included 32 yard runs by Juniors Ed Mosson and Bruce Thomas. Jay Ciokajlo got in the end zone from 6 yards out to give Northwest its only touchdown. The 2-point conversion attempt was unsuccessful, and at the end of the third quarter the score found Lansing Catholic in control at 34-6.

The Cougars John Maloney scored one more touchdown on a 76-yard drive, making it 41-6 as a final.

One of the many factors of the loss seemed to be Northwest quarterback Scott Robertson's inability to hit his receivers. His longest complete pass was a 17-yarder caught by Don Sniffen in the fourth quarter. Robertson was also sacked four times.

"Scott is a good, solid quarterback, he just needs to get the feel of things before we can start producing points," stated Tom Goodwin.

"The one thing our team lacks is aggressiveness," he added.

Northwest will resume Friday night football action this week against Lake Odessa Lakewood. Lakewood is 2-0 this season and is coming off a 7-0 victory over Charlotte. It will be Parents Night at Northwest Stadium, where kick-off will be 7:30.

Coach Goodwin is ready for them.

"They better bring a lot of players!" he threatened.

"NW Falls to Tecumseh, 23-8; Quarterback, Lead Rusher Injured"

By Jeff Rietsma

It was a battle of winless teams last Friday night. The Northwest varsity football team and the Tecumseh Indians had a pow-wow at Northwest's field, and when the dust cleared, the Indians came out victorious, 23-8.

The Mounties dug their own grave by committing four turnovers and being flagged nine times for 79 penalty yards.

Another key factor in the poor play was the injuries. Going into the game, Northwest had Ed Mosson, Karl Biggs and Aaron Heibel not even in uniform. Number one quarterback Scott Robertson was dressed but didn't play because of knee problems. In the first quarter, Jay Ciokajlo separated a cartilage that will put him out of action for an indefinite amount of time. Also watching from the sidelines were Matt Skeen and Zoran Novak.

Robertson's replacement was fellow senior Mike Richmond, who had a fine night. Richmond completed nine of 17 passes for 119 yards, but also threw three interceptions on drivers that were within touchdown range.

"I don't know how Scott will be for next week's game, but I'm going to stick with Mike as the starting quarterback. I was pleased with his efforts and we'll see how he does next week against Lumen Christi," said Mountie head coach Tom Goodwin.

Tecumseh and Northwest both entered the game with 0-3 records. Northwest's advantage was that Tecumseh hadn't scored a single point in their three previous games. The Mounties appeared to be a shoo-in for victory, but they played an unusually sloppy game that Tecumseh capitalized on.

With a full moon hovering over Northwest's field, Tecumseh came out strong and played a well-fought game. The Indians took their first possession of the ball at Northwest's 26-yard line, where Brian David fumbled it for Northwest. Tecumseh moved down field, and on fourth-and-five, Duy Dang booted a 31-yard field goal to give Tecumseh a quick 3-0 lead at the 8:13 mark in the first quarter. The Tecumseh fans and players erupted with joy to see their points in 1985, and what turned out to be the only points in the first quarter.

After three series of nothing, Northwest gave Tecumseh the ball at their own 26 yard line. It took them eight plays to score their first touchdown of 1985. It occurred with 39 seconds left in the first half. Jim Schwede blocked the extra point attempt, as the teams went into the locker room with the visitors leading, 9-0.

The Indians went on the warpath again in the third quarter. At the 6:19 mark, Robert Mendez dashed into the end zone from five yards out to boost the lead to 16-0.

Northwest finally got on the scoreboard using a little razzle-dazzle to excite the game a little bit. At his own 44-yard line, Northwest's punter, Dave Weller, got set to punt the ball, but instead threw to Kevin Miller who turned the play into a 56-yard touchdown. The Northwest crowd and sidelines were nearly delirious as Miller crossed the goal line. Richmond connected to Dan Sowers for the two-point conversion to give Northwest eight points.

But that delirium soon turned to dismay. The Northwest offense was going nowhere fast and couldn't produce any more points. The defense gave up a fourth quarter touchdown to put the icing on Tecumseh's cake.

One highlight was Northwest's passing yardage, which accumulated 227 yards, but the running game was held to -26 yards. One reason for the poor running game was due to Tecumseh's front line, which included 6'6", 283 pound Scott Thomas, who made the Mountie runners feel like they were running into a Mack truck.

Danny Sowers was Northwest's leading receiver with three catches for 85 yards. Kevin Miller also field three passes for 67 yards. The prime statistic though was turnovers. Northwest lost four while Tecumseh didn't lose any. Northwest finished the night with 201 total yards to Tecumseh's 250.

Heading Northwest's defense was Greg Ciokajlo who had seven tackles. Kevin Miller and Spencer Byrd added six each.

As Goodwin points out, Robertson's absence was also felt by the defense.

"Scott is our all-around man. He's not bad on offense and he really contributes on the defense. But I don't think injuries are taking their toll, yet. It's just a state of mind.

"Tonight the refs called some crucial penalties on us, very big penalties, and that showed in the final score."

The Mounties travel to Withington Stadium this Saturday night to play in a 7:30 contest with conference foe Lumen Christi.

"Mounties Drop Season Finale -- 28-14"

By Jeff Rietsma

Albert Payne sure wasn't a very nice guest. Payne and the rest of the Eaton Rapids Greyhounds came to Northwest last Friday night and won the season finale in varsity football, 28-14.

Payne was like a robot...wind him up and watch him go. The 5'5" senior carried the ball 29 times for 300 yards, a record for most yards gained by an individual at Northwest's stadium.

It was pleasant weather for the season ending game. A warm strong wind blew steadily throughout the night while a near full house watched on band night.

Northwest got on the board first when senior Spencer Byrd dashed one yard for the touchdown with seven minutes left in the first quarter. The two-point conversion failed and Northwest led, 6-0. The 51-yard drive took 12 plays.

The Greyhounds came back on their very next possession when Payne scored one of his three touchdowns. The drive started from Northwest's 45-yard line. Five plays and an extra point later, the visitors led, 7-6. The score remained the same for the rest of the first half.

Eaton Rapids added 13 third quarter points and eight in the fourth quarter until Northwest got another touchdown when Spencer Byrd scored again -- this time from the six-yard line. Mountie quarterback Mike Richmond connected to Jay Ciokajlo for the two point conversion. That score came at the 8:58 mark and wrapped up the scoring for the 1985 season.

It was a bittersweet season for those senior's on this year's team. The squad finished with a 1-8 record, with the sole victory coming in the seventh game against Columbia Central, a 14-7 homecoming victory.

The Mounties gave 100 percent this year, but even with the strong effort, the injury of Ed Mosson was felt throughout the entire season.

"It's hard to determine how much of a factor he was, but these kids had to learn to play without him and they haven't done that before. It certainly had an impact on us somewhat, but we did our best to overcome that," said Mountie head coach Tom Goodwin.

Mosson broke his collarbone in the first game of the season against Jackson High. But Goodwin was quick to point out that Mosson wasn't the only player with excellent ability on this year's team.

"We still had some other good players. Take Bruce Thoms, Spencer Byrd, Kevin Miller and Mike Richmond. I think they performed extremely well," Goodwin said.

Unfortunately, the players he mentioned are all seniors who won't be back next year. Some other seniors those services will be missed include Scott Robertson, Jay Ciokajlo, Dave Weller, and Dan Sowers.

With 14 juniors on this year's team though, the 1986 season looks promising for Northwest.

"They're a good group of juniors. It all depends on what happens between now and next summer, and how much work they put into it," Goodwin added. Top prospects include Doug Decker, Jim Hanchett, Ross Dandurand, Brian David, Brian Wasilew, Greg Ciokajlo, and Mark Smith.

Northwest's offense scored a total of 77 points this season, while the defense gave up 173. A strong improvement over last year's team, who gained 58 points and gave up 256.

"Last year we were 0-9, so we improved 100 percent. It shows that we're a better football team this year," Goodwin reasoned.

Goodwin has completed his seventh season as head coach at Northwest, and sports a 21-41 record. One of his major accomplishments was in 1982 when his team won the Twin Valley league.

"That was one of my highlights here, but I can remember two or three other big ball games that we weren't supposed to win that we did. In 1981, the year Marshall won the Twin Valley Conference, we beat them and the number two team. Ironically, we lost to the the bottom three teams in the same year. But that's all part of the game."

One thing that Goodwin didn't overlook this season was the fan support. Even at away games, Northwest fans sometimes out-numbered the home team fans.

"That tells you a little bit about the parents, about the type of ball players we have, and a little bit about pride and enthusiasm. But the big thing is that the fans are there game after game and they supported us well," he said.

Against Eaton Rapids, Byrd and Richmond combined for 105 rushing yards. Richmond completed seven of 21 passes for 77 yards and no interceptions. The Mounties ended up with 280 total yards, to Eaton Rapids' 443 yards. Richmond and Ross Dandurand each handled five tackles.

Though the statistics favored Eaton Rapids, Northwest had a little bit more of something that Eaton Rapids didn't...pride. For nine weeks these same Mounties were out giving it their all, almost always in a losing effort.

But one thing that won't be forgotten about the season will be the seniors who played on this year's team. A group of athletes with a promising future.

"Mounties Lose Tough Game"

By Jeff Rietsma

If Friday night's varsity football game at Jackson High is any indication of what kind of year the Northwest Mounties are in for, then it's going to be another long and frustrating season.

The Mounties looked very sharp and played consistent football, but ended up losing to the Vikings of Jackson High, 19-13.

On a very hot and muggy night, the two teams played in a clean game on the wet, slippery artificial turf at Withington Stadium.

The Mounties received the opening kick-off and didn't waste much time getting on the scoreboard. Seniors Kevin Miller and Ed Mosson took turns running the ball until Miller broke through the Viking defense to score on a two-yard run with 8:31 remaining in the first quarter. Dave Weller chipped in the extra point to give the Mounties a quick 7-0 lead. The Northwest sideline was filled with electricity.

That celebration came to a quick end when Jackson's Chris Simpson returned the following kick-off 93 yards for an apparent touchdown, but a clipping penalty on the Vikings brought the ball back to their 14 yard line. The Northwest defense held Jackson scoreless in the first quarter, to keep a 7-0 lead going into the second quarter.

Jackson High finally got on the board at 8:33 in the second quarter on a 67 yard drive that took six plays.

Later in the same quarter, the running efforts of seniors Bruce Thomas, Jay Ciokajlo, and junior Ross Dandurand, enabled Northwest to score with 4:04 left in the half. The 70-yard series was capped by a six-yard run by workhorse, Ed Mosson.

The try for a two-point conversion failed, as Northwest gripped a 13-7 halftime lead.

Both teams played tough in the third quarter, holding each other scoreless.

But with 11:14 left in the game, Jackson High started their comeback rally with a touchdown. They failed on the two-point attempt, and the score was tied, 13-13.

Tension mounted later in the fourth quarter. With 3:14 left to play, the score tied, Jackson was fouth-and-five on Northwest's 12-yard line. The Mountie defense stopped the Vikings right in their tracks, but a personal foul penalty was charged to Northwest that gave Jackson the five yards they needed for the first down, and the opportunity to score. They did just that with 2:28 remaining. The visions of victory for Northwest turned to horror and disgust, particularly for head coach Tom Goodwin.

The only chance Northwest had was with 37 seconds left to play, the Mounties had the ball on Jackson's 28-yard line with fourth-and-eight to go. Quarterback Scott Robertson's pass sailed over Mosson's head, and the game was history.

By looking at the statistics, the Mounties held the upper hand in almost every category.

They lead Jackson in total yards, 300-259. Scott Robertson completed two passes in eight attempts for 41 yards. Jackson High didn't even attempt a pass. Both teams had 13 first downs. Jackson was penalized, 85 yards to Northwest's 55 yards. Neither team committed a turnover.

Individually, Ed Mosson led Northwest's fine running game with 89 yards. Jay Ciokajlo headed Northwest's defense with five tackles.

But the important statistic was the final score, and that was in Jackson's favor.

Mountie coach Tom Goodwin refused to talk after the game.

Northwest drops to 0-1 for the season, and will face Lansing Catholic Central at home Friday. Kick-off will be at 7:30 p.m.
