Games 6: Junior Blue Dukes BLUE 35, Nicolet 0

The JBD7 team took a sporting and sportsmanlike approach to Saturday's game against an undermanned Nicolet team. Coach Joe Wieland and company used the contest to spread playing time around to the whole roster in the 35-0 victory.
Bay kicked off. Jake Fisher raced downfield to make a convincing tackle just outside the 20-yard line. Bay held, and Andrew James blocked the ensuing punt. Fisher passed to Bailey Weiland to bring the ball close to the goal, then Weiland took a handoff and ran in for a score. Bay set up in kick formation for the XP conversion, but Fisher stood up and pass to Anthony Enea for the point. 7-0, Bay.
After holding Nicolet again, a Josiah Erving run put Bay in good position, then Fisher passed to Connor Kimple in the end zone for a score. Weiland kicked the 2-point conversion. 15-0, Bay.
Erving was the workhorse on next Bay offensive series, ripping off three long runs, one sprung by an Andrew James block. He scored the TD to make it 21-0, Bay.
On the next drive, Fisher took the snap and passed backward to Macklin Kortebein. (Yes, you know what's coming next.) Kortebein fired an immaculate double pass to receiver Chris Siebert, who was standing alone in his own zip code. Siebert dashed toward the goal line, but was tackled just inches short of paydirt.
Later, Kimple flushed the Nicolet QB out of the pocket but could not bring him down. The QB took off for a big gainer past the 50-yard-line, but alert Bay defender Wieland stripped the ball from him. Kortebein, who was probably going through withdrawl pain after not touching the football, scooped it up and raced to the house for a TD. Anthony Pogorelc caught a pass for the XP. 28-0, Bay.
Alec Lindfors hit a beautiful coffin-corner punt that Fisher and Kortebein downed about the 1-yard line to pin Nicolet in dangerous territory. After Bay regained possession, Enea ran a quarterback draw for the final TD. Erving ran up the middle for the XP, making the final score Bay 35, Nicolet 0.
