Welcome to a new feature on the Olympian Football website. This week Jacob & William preview the Anthracite League championship game.
The Marian Colts enter Friday’s game ranked 9th in the state by the Harrisburg Patriot News in single A. The Colts will be fired up after suffering their first loss of the season last week to Shenandoah
Valley. Marian dominated the Devils most of the night but 6 turnovers helped SV to a 20-6 victory.
On offense the Colts run and the pass well and are led by QB Adam Agosti, RB Brad Petritsch & WR Kevin McNavage who is also one of the most dangerous kick returners in the state. Division I recruit Mike Ryan anchors the offensive & defensive line.
Marian’s defense is only allowing 8 points per game. NG Matt Mlynek has caused havoc so far this year leaving LBs Josh Butala & Matt Rizzo free to snuff out opponent’s running.
Our Olympians enter the game 8-0 looking to win back the Anthracite Title they held in 2004.
Jacob’s analysis: Defensive struggle early turns into a 10 point Thorpe win with the Red Swarm defense forcing turnovers at key points in the game. Dont be surprised to see a defensive score by the opportunistic JT defense. Front seven shuts down the Colt running game and puts constant pressure on Agosti. Alex Landon continues his kicking success. Final score JT 17, Marian 7. “GO THORPE!”
William’s analysis: Olympians score first and never look back behind a complete team effort. Close game at the half but the team speed of JT takes over in the second half. Late Colt TD ruins bid at shutout. Final score JT 28, Marian 7. Long bus ride home for the Colts. “WE ARE, JIM THORPE!”
JACOB & WILLIAM URGE EVERYONE TO ATTEND THE GAME FRIDAY NIGHT. EVERYONE WEAR RED. WELCOME THE COLTS TO A SEA OF RED! SEE YOU ALL AT THE GAME!
