Mites Game info

 -by Martel Thompson

 

Last Saturday morning the Dartmouth MITES played the Bedford Mites at the Bedford Ranges for the second time this season. The early morning game was well attended by parents, friends and family.

 

The first game began with the Dartmouth Destroyer kicking off to the Saints, before Branden Thompson led the vaunted Dartmouth defense on to the field dressed in their sharp black jerseys with red numbers gleaming.

 

Cameron Hunter and Branden led the rest of the Dartmouth squad as they pushed the Saints back, before Mitchell Tufts led the offense onto the field and promptly handed the ball off to Brady Avery for 40 yards of hard running to the house.

 

Although, the Saints evened the score Jayce Patterson and Daniel Velocci anchored the defensive o-line making it next to impossible for the Saints to run their Quarterback sneak which had provided them with earlier success.

 

Dartmouth middle linebacker Branden "the terror" Thompson noted "We gave it everything we had on defense but that QB sneak was giving us problems early on...we knew that Mitchell would come through for us."

 

Mitchell would lead the offense to two more scores passing a touchdown to Branden on a screen play, before scampering in for one of his own on a broken play.

 

The Destroyers would finish off the game with a goal-line stance, before giving up three cheers for the Saints and joining them for free hotdogs and pop.

 

 "This is all about the kids," said Coach Peter Tufts, "it's great to see them out here doing the things that they learned throughout the week.

 

Following the first game the Destroyers Team 2 dressed in their black and red uniforms took on a tough Saints team dressed in their gold jerseys and played a highly completive game, which allowed the young players to execute many of the skills and drills they learned in practice.

 

These two teams will play again this weekend at Portland Estates Elementary school.
