Falcons JV score early versus Ironmen

The Junior Varsity London Falcons came to Hamilton last Sunday to take on the Ironmen. Both teams started the game physically as this was going to be a battle between the trenches. But costly turnovers allowed London to pick up big plays

. Within the first several minutes London was up 20-0 until the Ironmen offense got rolling and quarterback Quinn Spera (Sherwood H.S.) scored a touchdown on a quarterback sneak. However, London kept finding passing lanes in Hamilton’s secondary to burn them for more big yards. At halftime the Ironmen coaches made adjustments on both sides of the ball to create rhythm and force pressure on the Falcon’s passing game. But it was not enough as London kept driving the ball down the field and adding majors. The consistent defensive play of Domenic Bellardini (Bishop Tonnos H.S.), Mark Fidani (Bishop Tonnos H.S.) and Melvin Baughan held up London’s run game in the second half.
Although it was a disappointing 41-13 loss for the Ironmen, head coach Ken McGuire told his players that he was extremely proud of the character they showed by not giving up and playing hard Ironmen football even though the game was out of reach. The Ironmen finish the regular season with a proud 5-3 record and will head into the playoffs next week who their opponent will most likely be Guelph Bears.
