Game 8: Junior Blue Dukes BLUE 27, West Bend East 6
[Highlights with music and with volume of WBE fans turned down. The song is "Come on with the 'Come On,'" by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, originally by Cab Calloway.]
[Highlights without music, but with very loud West Bend East fans commenting throughout. Don't say I didn't warn you.]
The JBD7 Blue team finished off its undefeated season in character, distributing the ball and the glory in a 27-6 road victory at West Bend East.
Macklin Kortebein returned the opening kickoff to the West Bend 43. On third down, QB Jake Fischer found WR Carter Heston, who had beaten his defender, at the 20 for a first down. RB Will Alt gained more than five yards on a second-down run. Then, on fourth down, Fischer pitched to Kortebein, who ran around the left side into the end zone. Bay lined up in kick formation for the PAT, but holder Fischer took the snap, stood up and fired the pigskin to Anthony Enea in the endzone for a point. 7-0, Bay.
On the next series, West Bend went for it on fourth down, but Kortebein and Josiah Erving stuff a ball carrier to turn the ball over to Bay deep in West Bend territory. Bay converted a 4th down try of its own on a pass from Fischer to WR Connor Kimple. Bailey Wieland fought through a would-be tackler to pick up another first down. But a 4th down pass fell incomplete, and West Bend regained possession.
West Bend methodically worked its way down the field, with several effective screen passes and aided by a couple of Bay penalties. A touchdown plunge made the score 7-6, but West Bend's conversion pass attempt fell incomplete.
Kortebein covered half the distance to the Equator on a long, winding run that brought Bay well into West Bend territory, but timed expired in the half.
After receiving the second-half kickoff, West Bend worked into Bay territory. But on a fourth-down play, the WB QB mishandled the snap, and Patrick Collins and company dropped him for a loss and exchange of possession.
Aided by an Alec Lindfors blocked downfield, Fischer ran close enough to smell the goal line. Alt took an inside handoff up the middle for the TD. 13-6, Bay.
In the fourth quarter, Bay broke the game open. Fischer, who had brought his offense close to payday with a nice run on a QB draw, threw to Anthony (Pogo) Pogorelc for a TD. Wieland kicked the two-point conversion. Bay 21-6.
On the final drive, Coach Joe Wieland distributed the ball around his skill players in a way that both kept West Bend guessing and must have made Bay parents happy. Fischer picked up another long gainer after faking a pitch backward (if Jake is not careful, he may grow up to be an option QB). RB Josiah Erving slipped a tackle and took the rock to the house for the final score. Enea picked off a West Bend finish to seal the victory, 27-6.
The JBD7 teams finished a combined 15-1 this season. This grade's three-year record is 28-2-1 (though I am not a math teacher, fell free to check my work).
Stay tuned for news about our combined post-season party and celebration.

Game 4: Junior Blue Dukes BLUE 19, Mequon-Thiensville 6
Carter Heston caught two touchdown passes from Jake Fisher, and Bailey Wieland kicked a pair of two-point conversions and a field goal to lead the visiting Junior Blue Dukes Blue team to a 19-6 victory over Mequon-Thiensville (aka Homestead).
Bay received the opening kickoff, but were forced to punt. Mequon-Thiensville picked up some yardage, but were turned back on fourth down by a strong Patrick Collins tackle. Early in the second quarter, Macklin Kortebein scampered up the middle for a first down, and quarterback Jake Fisher earned another first down on a keeper. On second down, just over the midfield marker on Mequon's side of the field, Fisher launched on a rainbow down the right sideline. Wide receiver Carter Heston had gotten behind his defender. Heston calmly pulled the ball in and raced to the end zone. Wieland kicked the 2-point conversion. 8-0, Bay.
Mequon returned to its grind-it-out running game, but Bay's swarming defense turned up the intensity. Defensive end Alec Lindfors blew up a third-down run by taking out two blockers, and Collins swooped in behind him to make the tackle. After a short punt, Bay took over in Mequon territory. Bay picked up a first down on a pass to Kortebein, and gained more yards on a pass to Wieland and a bootleg by Fisher. Fisher then launched another rainbow to the right corner of the end zone to Heston, who had worked his way behind his defender again. Wieland kicked the two-point conversion. After the kickoff, Collins sacked a Mequon ball carrier for a loss to end the half. Bay 16, Mequon-Thiensville 0.
Mequon received the second-half kickoff, but accomplished little. On fourth down, the punter bobbled the snap, and a swarm of Blue Dukes, led by Andrew James, wrestled him to the ground. But Mequon was equally stout on D, and the ball went back to the home team after four downs, then back to Bay.
Kortebein broke off a long run to bring Bay within hailing distance of the goal line. Early in the 4th quarter, after a third-down pass attempt had fallen incomplete, Bailey Wieland kicked the first field goal in the Junior Blue Dukes annals of this class, about a 20-yarder. 19-0, Bay.
A well-executed fake by Mequon's quarterback bought the time to find an open receiver, who brought the home team close to the goal line. A speedy runner got outside containment to score a touchdown, but the conversion kick attempt failed. 19-6, Bay.
Wieland deftly covered up Mequon's attempted onside kick. Running back Josiah Erving picked up positive yards on a pair of runs, then quarterback Anthony Enea ripped off a long gain on a bootleg for a first down. Bay was close enough to the goal line to press the issue if it wanted, but Enea took a knee to close out the contest at 19-6.
Thanks to John Brewster for providing the video I watched to construct this account of the game. As usual, any mistakes I've made in summarizing it are strictly my fault, no one else's.
