As Curry took their home ice on Saturday night, they were greeted by a crowd full of fans looking to donate one of their teddy bears to a child in need. The Colonels immediately gave thanks to many of the children in the stands, who were excited to see the home team make a splash during the third annual Teddy Bear Toss. By the end of the night, it felt like almost every kid in attendance got the chance to take home a souvenir puck from one of the players.
Once the pregame festivities came to a conclusion though, Curry seemed to direct their focus right back on Commonwealth Coast Conference opponent Johnson and Wales University. The Colonels had been coming off a dominant four-game winning streak, and were looking to extend it at Urlin Memorial Rink.

Not to mention, Curry had some added pressure at the start of this matchup. With the Teddy Bear Toss taking place, all the bears get thrown onto the ice when the Colonels score their first goal of the game. Due to this being such a highly anticipated event, it’s no surprise the team wanted to come out firing.
It would only take 7:08 for Curry to score their first goal of the game in the opening period. Junior forward Adam Valadao would send a scorching slapshot into the back of the net, thanks to a flawless pass from defensemen Jarret Kup. It would mark Valadao’s third goal of the season, and Kup’s third assist. Curry’s Ryan Fitzgerald would also be credited with an assist on the play.
Senior forward Tyler Vankleef would extended Curry’s lead to two with 2:14 remaining in the first period. Using some nifty stickhandling skills, Vankleef was able to sneak it past Wildcat goalie Joey Ballmer for his CCC leading 11th goal of the season. Fellow senior center Jake Heisinger and defensemen Alec Mono would be awarded assists on the

Its “Hockey time” as the players get ready to hit the ice -the suspense builds. Once the players hit the ice the crowd yells “Let’s go belleville!” As the referee drops the puck and it hits the ice the action begins. You see the other team trying to pressure the puck your way. Then number 87 Tyler Connolly steals the puck and takes it down towards the opposing team to where he passes it to number 11 Dylan Connolly passes it back to the middle for number 87 Tyler Connolly to slap the shot it into the goal. It’s now 5 to 5 they just need two more points to go to victory, as the puck hits the ground the crowd goes wild, when the opposing team takes the puck and heads down the ice towards the goal where number 52 Evan Johnson is waiting to save the puck from going in. As number 32 from the opposing team comes in hard,
It seemed as though hope had been revived in the fourth quarter when an 80-yard run by Baldiviez put some points up on Dana’s end of the board. With 49 seconds remaining, Junior Corey Cisowski found Senior Ryder Lynch who finished off the game with a 6-yard touchdown.
Newark Catholic had been a team that closed out drives during the playoffs, but on this night, they failed in a gigantic way during the third quarter. Three times they had a chance to, not only tie this one up, but to take the lead. They would cash in once, fumble the ball after a very good run and then it would be poor execution by the offense on some nice calls by the coaching staff and of course some solid defense by the Redskins.
A kick from Anderson started the game, not long after, QB Lucas Smith runs a 18yd touchdown, starting the game out with a 7-0 Turpin lead. The Redskins’ Kyle Blaha soon persevered through the unforgiving Turpin defense and ran a 2 yd touchdown, evening out the score out 7-7. “Our offense and defense did well, but there’s always room for improvement.” Coach Kenter explained after Turpin gave up 21 points in the first half. “But I think this was one of better games of the entire season, the team really brought it.” Second quarter brought both the Spartans and Redskins 2 new touchdowns each and an exciting 65 yard pass Turpin touchdown, Smith to Will Hausfeld. Halftime stopped the intense game at a suspenseful score of 21-21.
Our first game was very intense for the most part when a kid named Matt on my team scored from the bottom of the faceoff dot in the other team’s zone right over the goalies shoulder. We lost the game but we all had lots of fun and after the game we talked about where to all go to eat. “Mcdonald's!” said one, “That stuff nasty” said another. Finally we all agreed to a bar and grill in town and then go back to the hotel. The food was good, but there was still one problem. We hadn’t won.
At this point, the wheels came off of the Panthers wagon and GSU scored 16 unanswered points. GSU got things going and the momentum changed in their favor. Kincade connected with Chad Williams on a 13 yard passed to make the score 16-7 with PAT by Jonathon Wallace with 2:42 in the first quarter. At this point, both teams were going back and forth. Several turnovers occurred. Until, Kincade and GSU got their groove on with an 11 yard run for pay dirt. Jonathon Wallace successfully completed the PAT to make the score 16-14 in favor of PVAMU at the 10:39 in the second quarter. GSU would score again before the half when PVAMU’s Lorin Winston couldn’t handle a high snap and push the ball out of the back of the end zone for a safety. That tied the score at 16-16 all with 2:00 minutes left in the half.
Emotion can carry a team just so far and that's how this one started. On the Bulldogs first drive their multi-talented quarterback,Aaron Latiolais was sacked by,Connor Sheehan. Sheehan has been injured on and off this season, so to see the young guy get involved early was nice. Latiolais recovered nicely as he connected with, #3 Brock Williams all the way to the Green Wave one-yard-line, with 3:37 left in the quarter. From there the Heath line blew up a large hole for Latiolais to walk threw, to give Heath a,6-0 lead, The point after kick by #17 Tayte Duncan, to make this a,7-0 lead at the 3:23 mark.
Stephen shot a 3- pointer on the first period of the game with 6:57 left. His achievement was the excitement of the night; the Bulldogs sure needed some with a lost 93-64 to Hampton University at last night’s game in Smith Hammond Middleton Memorial Center.
Tallwood would come out in this game and punch Oscar Smith dead in the mouth, Tigers were clearly not ready for this as they seemed to never really be able to recover. The Lions would take a 12-7 lead to end the first quarter. The level of intensity was so high coming from the Lions, that it gave the feeling like the Tigers really weren’t interested in this game.
Last night at Fairborn Memorial Stadium, the home team Fairborn Skyhawks played host to Dayton Stebbins. The Skyhawks came in just 1-4, while the Indians limped in with an 0-5 record. When all was said and done the home team had earned its second win of the season, while the Indians were scalped again, this time to a tune of 38-0. This was homecoming for the Skyhawks and the average side crowd on the home side left very happy, while the smallish size crowd on the visitors side, left wondering if their team could compete, with anyone that was left on the schedule.
With Centenary up 24-12, Dallas Christian scored 10 unanswered to make it a one-possession game in the second quarter. Shamara Taylor and Victoria Kyukendall hit layups.

The Comets (16-8, 8-6 ASC) were led by Caleb Banks, who scored a game-high 20 including 12-for-16 from the
The stadium shook like a violent earthquake when the crack of the bat hit the air. I threw the bat down and kicked up dust as I bolted to the plate. The cries from the bench reached my ears; my stride grew longer and my blood pumped faster. In the corner of my eye, I notice the ball was floating like a cloud in the air as I round first. Breaking my line of sight again, I look to outfielder to see the location of the ball. My heart, pounding and pulsing, soars as I see the outfielder drop the ball. Shifting into fourth gear, my legs move on their own like a well-oiled machine. Kicking up dust I pass second, leaving a dust storm in my wake. I don’t dare look anywhere but the next base. Breathing heavily, I start to lose steam coming around third.
