The Wolves played the Monticello Panthers this week. The captains for the Wolves were Chase Cassisi, Liam Collins, Joseph Delgardo and Nickolas Gannon. This was a total team effort. On offence, the blocking of the offensive line was outstanding. They consistently opened holes for the running backs. The line consisted of Nicholas Gannon at center, Matthew Purdy and Nicholas Solek at guards, Liam Collins and Brian Nazario at tackles, and Gino Narcise and Dylan Sanchez at ends. Scoring touchdowns for the Wolves were Chase Cassisi on a 30 yard run. Brett Kalus on a 30 yard run. Dylan Sanchez on a 20 yard run. Matthew Lopez on a 10 yard run. Joey Delgardo scored twice one 10 yard, one 5 yard. Also getting big runs on offence were Rylan Toledo, Tristan Katzman, Gino Narcise, and Kevin Schwartz who ran in for an extra point. Jake Zelencich also had a touchdown run, but it was called back on a holding penalty. The defense came up real big for the Wolves. Johnny Tecklenburg, Jason Vergeli and Justin Godino, just to name a few, caused and recovered fumbles, sacked the quarterback and made numerous tackles in the backfield. The final score was Wolves 40 Monticello 0. Again the Wolves would like to thank the Cheerleaders, rain or shine, win or lose you always do a great job.

The Division 1 Wolves win on the road in Monticello and advance their record to 3-0.
Captains for this game were Billy Besold, Jason Cooper, Thomas Garrison, Tristan Katzmann and Rylan Toledo. Playing this contest throughout the first half of the ball game in the rain was no easy task for the Wolves against this big Monticello team. Ball control for the Wolves and big defensive plays held Monticello from establishing any kind of ground game for most of the day. Monticello won the toss and elected to take the ball behind their big offensive line. Monticello on their opening drive confident to pickup a 1st down found themselves with a 4th and 5 on their own 40 yard line. But the mighty Wolves defense would not allow it and Monticello turned the ball over on downs. This sparked the hungry Wolves offense which ran for over 400 yards in their previous game and marched off a 9 play drive for 43 yards scoring was Chase Casissi on a 8 yard run the extra point was stopped and the Wolves took a 1st quarter lead 6-0. In the second quarter both defenses held strong stopping each others offensive plan as the rain fell steadily the half ended Wolves 6 Monticello 0.
The Wolves packed together and put their second half game plan into effect.

Monitcello continued to struggle offensively as the shifty Wolves defensive players lead by Jake Zelencich, Tyler O’Neill, Nicholas Solek, Noah Cunningham, Alex Morales and Vincent Martello who laid out some big hits in Monticello’s backfield. The Wolves offense would take the ball in the 4th quarter and speedster JP Incledon had Monticello giving chase all day leading the way for another 11 play drive for 56 yards and scoring on a tremendous block from Chase Casissi for his 2nd TD of the day was Gino Thomas Narcise. Wolves lead 19-0. Monitcello would find daylight as they played tough football all day and finished the day with a score.

Coach Narcise
Division 1 Washingtonville Wolves 4-0
Remain Undefeated Win in Overtime
The Wolves advance their record to 4-0 this past weekend at Lasser Park against the 3-1 Cornwall Dragons. The Dragons looking to upset the mighty Wolves in one of the best defensive battles of a Division 1 football game ever played. Captains for the Wolves this game were Justin Caraballo, JP Incledon, Vincent Martello, Alex Morales, Kevin Roman and Kevin Walla. Cornwall won the opening toss and elected to defer to the second half. The Wolves offense put together their best drive of the day in the 3rd quarter, 11 plays for 70 yards only to be halted on the Cornwall 11 yard line. As a defensive strategy the Wolves punted on 6 of their 9 possessions during regulation game time pinning Cornwall deep in their own territory most of the day. Cornwall unable to make much happen with their spread option offense were forced to punt 7 times throughout the game and turned the ball over with Wolves defender Jake Zelencich’s great interception stopping Cornwall’s opening drive of the second half.
The Wolves offense who has dominated every opponent in the past three games found their defense stepping up as planned in this ball game in a big way. Holding the Dragons to 78 total yards in front of that mighty defensive line for the Wolves were Noah Cunningham, Thomas Cudmore, Brendan Hogan, Nicholas Solek, Justin Nunez, Kolby Moyer, Billy Besold, Jason Cooper, Thomas Garrison, Tristan Katzmann, Justin Caraballo and Rylan Toledo.
As the fourth quarter ended the Wolves regrouped and put their offensive overtime plan into effect. Overtime rules allow each opponent one possession from the 20 yard line till one team scores. The Wolves took the ball on offense first and on 2nd down from the 18 yard line Gino Thomas Narcise broke it open and ran over three Dragon tacklers, sprinted down the sideline into the end zone and scored in overtime to break the tie for the Wolves 6-0 lead. Cornwall’s offense had their opportunity and the Wolves defensive line lead by Nicholas Solek and Vincent Martello pounded the Dragon quarterback who passed the ball into the air. Wolves defender Chase Casissi would not allow it and intercepted the ball that ended the Dragons final drive. Game over! Wolves win 6-0 in O.T. Great tackles were made by Tyler O’Neill, Chase Casissi Gino T. Narcise, Alex Morales, Jake Zelencich, Vincent Martello, Nicholas Solek, Justin Nunez, Brendan Hogan, Thomas Cudmore & Noah Cunningham and the entire mighty Wolves team.
