WESTFIELD, VA - Bulldog Head Coach Tom Verbanic made one thing very clear to his team in the locker room before Thursday night's game against South County: that it would be the last first game for every senior on the team. Whether driven by that fact alone, or just being pumped for the beginning of the season, the Bulldogs exploded in the first quarter and kept the pressure on the entire game, defeating the Stallions 45-6.
Senior Johnny Pickett returned the opening kickoff, running it halfway up the field in response to the roaring Westfield crowd. A few plays later, senior Brian Kennedy scored to put the Bulldogs up 7-0. After an interception by Westfield senior Kyle Goffredo, Mike Glennon found Johnny Pickett to put the Bulldogs up by two scores.
Glennon then connected with teammate David Kruchko for the 3rd score of the game, and on the next drive, Pickett intercepted a pass and returned it to the South County 18 yard line. Kruchko and Glennon hooked up again before the half to increase the Westfield lead 28-0. Westfield's David Skahn kicked a 42 yard field goal right before half to make the score 31-0.
The Stallions scored in the 3rd quarter but the Bulldogs proved to be too much to handle in the season opener for South County. Glennon added a rushing touchdown to cap off an outstanding night.
With the win, Westfield improves to 1-0 while the South County Stallions fall to 0-1.....
