MacArthur Ices Port Washington 50-6

The gridiron wasn’t as frozen as Green Bay’s Lambeau Field. The weather wasn’t as dreadful as it was for George Washington’s troops at Valley Forge. However, in wet snowy weather and under slushy field conditions, the MacArthur Generals (7-1) found a way to endure Mother Nature’s wrath and leave Port Washington with a 50-6 annihilation of the Vikings (0-8) in their rearview mirror. It was MacArthur’s seventh consecutive win.

Generals RB Brett Ellers led the way to victory from MacArthur’s opening drive. He and QB Gerard Cunningham marched their team 62 yards before Ellers capped the drive with an 11-yard TD run. Ellers scored on each of MacArthur’s first three possessions in the first quarter with TD runs of 11, 4 and 17 yards and also contributed three successful two-point conversion runs.

Week Five: This Is Not Sparta

The Island Trees JV Football team continued with their winning ways and demolished the Valley Stream North Spartans 30-8. It was the first ever JV football night game and the Bulldogs would shine bright under the lights. From the start the Bulldogs dismantled and ravaged the Spartans. The Bulldogs defense would stop Valley Stream right away and get the ball and immediately score. Dan Connelly would score the first touchdown of the game and Brian Eletti scored on the 2-point conversion. Dan Connelly had an amazing game. He scored the next touchdown and again Eletti would score on the 2pt conversion. Connelly recorded an interception in the second half. Rich Wisor would score on a touchdown pass from Brian Eletti right before the half to put the Bulldogs up 22-0.
