The Spring-Ford Rams started their 2016 season with a win in a non-conference away game against the Unionville Indians. This was the first time the teams played against each other.
Unfortunately, during kickoff, Spring-Ford tight end Zack Gulgule broke his wrist. It is undetermined when he will be returning. Hopefully he has a quick recovery and can get back on the field.
The Rams trailed toward the start of the first half, however, they quickly stepped up their game to recover. By the second quarter Spring-ford led 14-3.Spring-Ford was strong defensively the entire season opener with numerous interceptions and defensive touchdowns.
They started quarterback TJ Pergine on the varsity team for the first time. He made tough plays as did QB Stone Scarcelle. With the help of the linebackers, the Rams were able to force a turnover and continue dominating the game scoring 19 points in the fourth quarter to ensure their win.
Despite the Indians initially having the lead, the Rams won by a score of 33-3. Although it was a far commute, there were many Spring-Ford fans at Unionville to celebrate the win. The Rams had a great start to the season and hope to continue onto an undefeated season.
Spring-Ford will host Chester next Friday in another non-conference game.
