Springfield youth club season ends with a heartbreaker

SYC 100 Pound Varsity
SYC - 14
Darby - 18
The Springfield 100 lb. Varsity team lost a heartbreaker Saturday (Nov. 12) to the Darby Township Eagles. The official's calls and the breaks didn't favor the Cougars.
Outstanding defense was evident by holding Darby to 3 first downs all afternoon. Great defensive play by Klaus Gable, Liam DiFonzo, Jeff Biancaniello, Pat Clemens, Patrick Marley Jr., Zach Broomall, Jack Pscenicska, Colin Ellis and Courtland Miller.
A missed out of bounds call by the official allowed Darby to score first. Defense did it's job and shut down the extra point. A great offensive drive by the Cougars: Anthony Rightley accumulated many positive yards.
A 15 yard pass thrown by Quarterback Patrick Toal to Patrick McCann allowed the Cougars great field position. Toal then threw another 15 yard pass completion to Broomall.
To the fans dismay the officials ruled it incomplete, it was clearly caught!
The Cougars never gave up continuing to run the ball down the field. Behind the great blocking of Jimmy Donegan, Toal was able to sneak in for the Cougars first touchdown. Rightley added the extra point, 7-6 Cougars.
Darby answered right back by returning the kickoff. Ethan Crowther busted through the line to stop the extra point. The Cougars answered right back; Rightley's 45 yard touchdown run put the Cougars right back in the game.
Jack Spence's extra point run put the Cougars up 14-12. Once again, the Eagles answered back by returning another kick off. The Cougars stopped the point again.
Springfield put many good offensive drives but just couldn't cross the goal line.
Congrats to all players, coaches and parents on an outstanding season!
