JR. BULLDOGS

Pee Wee

The Jr. Bulldog Pee Wee team lost 19-18 in the championship game Sunday to the Amherst Patriots. After a 27-0 loss to Amherst earlier in the season, the Bulldogs showed phenomenal character by coming back in the championship game and being just one or two plays away from repeating as champions. The 2013 Pee Wee team included: Zachary Barnard, Benjamin Black, Clay Campbell, Will Curran, Austin Dearborn, William Detscher, Hunter Ducharme, Jordan Dyer, Allen Gawlowicz, Patrick Goterch, Jack Grogan, Conor Hujsak, Jack Jones, Parker Joyce, Scott Landies Jr., Kyle Lavigne, Joey Leary, Paul Martineau, Jared Neikam, Liam O’Connell, Conor O’Connell, Matthew Schwartz, Ben Sylvain, Drake Tomkinson, Jacksen Toon and Ethan Van Heerden.

Junior High JV

The junior varsity Bulldogs beat Lowell 28-12 to win the JV NEJHL Chapionship. Kyle Fink was the star of this game with three TD plays including two on the ground and one in the air, thrown by Mike Mullen at QB. He had great blocking from Mason Albert, Ryan Fox, Josh Knoetter, Truman Larson, Mason Adams and Drew Allard. The fourth TD was by Dillon Boutin on a hard run up the middle. There were several nice runs to gain yards by Steve Chartier, Cole Glennon, Peyton Murray and Dan Ondzes. The defense was like a wall, led by Pat Harrington, Anthony Bobo, Chris Riley, Rylan Lewandowski, Nick Buzzelli, Aiden Livingston and Ashton Bard. There were other key stops by Chris Chartier, Blake Murray, Brandon Trento, Tyler Barnard, Adrian Brooks and Charlie Kneiss-Williams. The Bulldogs went 5-1 in their last six games to complete a terrific turn around to win the JV title.

Junior High Varsity

The varsity Bedford Bulldogs beat Lowell 28-13 to finish their season 9-1 with the championship title. Lowell got on the board first with fumble return for a TD. Bedford bounced back with Harry LeGoullon’s TD run and a two-point extra point play by Matt Gilligan.

The Dogs next score came on a Liam Jackson run behind excellent blocking. The offensive line was lead by Garrett Kondek, Noah Sferrazza, Ben Lacombe, Greg Wheeler, Jack O’Donnell and Evan Catania. The third TD for the Dogs came on a Zac Tucci run to the outside. The defense had given up only one TD for the day behind ferocious linebacker play from Ryan Toscano, Spencer Adams, Jakob Toon and Lucien Mumpinni.

The Dogs were not done scoring, as Stephen Simpson had a fine run to put the score at 28 for Bedford. The defense was able to hold off a late passing attack by Lowell, with constant defensive end pressure from Colton Krasinski, Kamy Nikseresht, Josh Koellmer and Alex Woo. When the ball did make its way to the air, it was shut down by defensive back play by Connor Robert and Max Chartier. The Varsity Bulldogs had a nine-game win streak that was the longest in Division 1 or 2 at the JHL level.
