"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.
