Tiny Mite Football The Jr. Bulldog Tiny Mite team got off to another great start in yet another round robin contest versus the New Hampshire Wildcats in Sandown. Jack "Flash" Redfern started the Bulldogs out right on offense with a beautiful sweep for about 60 yards down the left sideline where he was caught from behind just before the score. Teddy "Bucky" LaPointe took two more tries and fell just short (everyone thought he was in, before a foul brought the bulldogs back to the 15. After the next play the Bulldogs turned it over on downs. Strong tackling from Frankie "Snaps" O'Donnell and Jayden "Dozer" Wilson clogged up the middle all day for the Jr. Bulldogs but the Wildcats were forced to score on the outside. The Jr. Bulldogs took the ball back after the score and drove about 30 yards until Gavin "GMack" McConnell busted a trademark run down the right sideline for ascore. The Wildcats answered back right before time expired. The second contest of the Round Robin was against Seacoast and things looked even more exciting. Isabella "Izzy" Landies took a handoff off left end to the house on a 70 yard jaunt down the sideline in full afterburner for her first career TD, right behind devastating blocking from Evan "Ironman" LaForge and Graham "Chimi" Chmiliecki. The ensuing defensive series
saw some great tackles by Rocco "Rock" Aronson and a sack by Adam "A-Train" Tamburello. The Titans were able to score, but the Bulldogs came right back with an immediate "G-Mack" TD off right end. The Titans got the ball back with 3 minutes left and began to drive the field. But the D-line anchored by Caleb "Smash" Cleland and Beckett "Cool Breeze" Maslanka sufficiently stymied the Titans in some desperation attempts. After a Gabe "Taz" Landies sack, and Cullen "Primetime" O'Connell tackle, the Titans had one last chance. Jake "JB" Boughter (pronounced with an "-uffter"), fresh off a contract holdout in Disney World, returned in a big way to make a lightning quick game saving tackle on the 5 as time ran out, icing the Bulldogs Win!
Mitey Mite Football Black Mitey Mite Black defanged the Concord Vipers with a convincing 19-6 win, improving their record to 2-0. As the autumn winds swirled in the state capital, the Bulldogs played a ball control offense that battered their amphibious foe all morning. Behind the wedge blocking of Drew Redfern, Matty Ciruso, Beau Dunker, and Patrik Burke, running back Andre Steinbrueck was able to advance the ball on Bedford's first drive. Hudson Schmitt opened the scoring with a beautiful 25 yard scamper to the cone and pay dirt. Bruising
fullback Justin Chiras pounded in the extra point. Bedford's Schmitt then stripped a Viper back as James Gilbert picked up the loose ball. Chiras did his best LeGarrette Blount impersonation, attacking the Vipers soft under-belly with a series of smash mouth runs up the middle, culminating in another score to increase the lead to 13-0. After a turnover on downs, Evan Dunker pick-pocketed Concord's QB and raced 60 yards for another touchdown as the Bedford lead swelled to 19-0. Alex Cotnoir added a big catch and emerging star Josh Meisner, played flawless center as the Bulldogs last drive ended at the Vipers 1 yard line as time expired. Mitey Mite Black plays their home opener next Sunday against Manchester. Woof Woof!
Mitey Mite Football Red Some days the ball doesn’t bounce your way. That was the case for the Bedford Mitey Mite Red team when they took on the New Hampshire Wildcats. A couple of early fumbles, put the Red team in an early hole that they were not able to climb out from falling 25-6. The ball did not bounce the Bulldogs way on this Sunday, with a defense that put pressure on the Wildcats, forcing numerous fumbles with their pressure, but they were unable to capitalize with a recovery as the ball fell just outside the Bulldogs grip. The bulldog offense did not have the same luck, as they lost two fumbles that set up very short TD runs.
The offense was mounting a promising drive at the end of the second quarter, getting close to paydirt, but time ran out and they were stymied. In the second half, a fired up Bulldogs team put together another promising drive, only to stall. Brady Jackson pinned the Wildcats with a sensational punt inside the 20 yard line. A stout defense forced a turnover on downs, and the offense was finally able to break thru, after an Ethan Steichen punishing run, Jackson was able to finish the drive with a touchdown behind a hole created by Nate Duquette, Noah Humphrey and Zachary Elmer. The Extra point attempt was not successful, despite a great attempt by Dean Poltronieri. Aaron Chmielecki, Caleb Goldstein, Sam Doty and Carter Rick all added to the vaunted Bulldogs running attack with nifty runs. Led by captains, William Neikham, Evan Maslanka, Tyler Parshay and Nolan Murphy they punished the inside running game of the Wildcats and limited the opportunities to the wide side of the field. James Gregory and Jacob Parshay were particularly effective in stopping the Wildcat running game. The Mitey Mite Red team has a bye week, but will take on Concord in two weeks.

Jr. Pee Wee Football Red Two undefeated teams met on the NH Wildcats field for an early season showdown. Bedford JPW Red won the toss and deferred. The Bedford defensive line anchored by Ethan Kemp, Cal McAuliffe, Mason Kimball, Alex Grudinskas and Brady Champagne were dominant.

JD Cote and Jayden Kimball had some key blocks on the offensive line. Kaeden Elmer, Ronan Balistreri and Tyrece Sealey all contributed defensively to hold the Wildcats to one score. Bedford 27NHWC 6.
