Ironmen JV use the pass in victory

In OVFL action last weekend, the JV Brantford Bisons (1-1) hosted the Hamilton Ironmen (1-1). The game started out with an aerial assault by Hamilton quarterback Chris Jugovic (Nelson H.S.) who found Jordan Brucculeri (St. Thomas Moore H.S.) to help put the Ironmen ahead. But not to be outdone, Bisons answered back with a touchdown and added more points as they kicked two field goals to lead 13-7 late in the second quarter.

With the Ironmen defense sputtering, halfback Josh Pietrantonio (St. Thomas Moore H.S.) intercepted Bison’s quarterback attempt and returned it for a touchdown to give a spark to the Hamilton sidelines and the lead going into half. The second half was welcomed by stormy weather as the rain poured down and forced both teams to run the ball. Hamilton ran the ball continuously picking up first downs and tiring out the Bisons defense, adding touchdowns by Jason LeDonne (Bishop Ryan H.S.) and Mark Gibbon (Bishop Tonnos H.S.) The strong defensive play of all the Hamilton Ironmen, lead by Domenic Bellardini, and Mark Fidani (both from Bishop Tonnos H.S.) helped shutout the Bisons in the second half as Hamilton went on to run away with the game and win 36-13. The Ironmen will host Georgetown Crimson Tide this Sunday at McMaster University; game starts at 1pm.
