After defeating Spring Ford and their Missouri bound quarterback for their first win last week, the Cougars from Downingtown East made it two in a row over the Pioneer Athletic Conference, this week downing the Boyertown Bears 35-7.
This game could have been worse, far worse for Boyertown, as Downingtown East could have scored 60 or more tonight. In the first half, Boyertown quarterback Conner Foskey completed more passes to Downingtown East defenders (3) than he did his own receivers (1).
The Cougars were unable to capitalize on the first Foskey interception, as the Bears turned them away on a failed fourth down conversion. The Cougars capitalized on the second one, as Connor Kiebort returned Foskey’s second interception 29 yards for a 7-0 lead. Mason Ippolito expanded the lead to 14-0 on a 15-yard run.
Downingtown East returned Foskey’s third interception 41 yards to set up an Alex Rios four-yard run to make it 21-0. Freshman running back Jules Robinson scored his first varsity touchdown from one-yard out. Alex Rios scored his second touchdown in the first half from ten yards out, ensuring the mercy rule for the second half.
Boyertown scored against Downingtown East’s Junior Varsity team to make the final score 35-7.
The score was not remotely indicative of how one sided the game was. Boyertown did not have a first down until the fourth quarter, had negative yards of offense through three quarters, had more interceptions (3) than completed passes (1) after three quarters, and 67 total yards for the game.
Alex Rios (67 yards), and Jules Robinson (70 yards) were East’s leading ground gainers tonight.
