Quaker Football -- 2022 State Champs!

 

The Quakers got on the board during their first drive of the game, covering 86 yards on 11 plays. Robby Tattersall ’23 completed five passes on the drive, the final pass to Ish Dobson ’23 for a four-yard score. After forcing the Buccaneers to punt on their next possession, the Quakers offense got right back to work as they advanced the ball down the field to the Caravel 11-yard line on 18 plays. Unable to convert on a third-down, Alessio Cristanetti-Walker ’23 came on and buried a 29-yard field goal to give the Quakers a 10-0 lead.

The lead would remain 10-0 until midway through the fourth quarter when Caravel scored on a six-yard run to cut the lead to 10-7 with 6:46 left to play. After a couple of first downs on their next possession, the Quakers offense stalled and Ro. Tattersall punted the ball down to the Caravel seven-yard line with 2:28 left on the clock.

Two plays later, with 1:49 left on the clock, Andrew McKenzie ’24 intercepted Caravel’s final pass from his safety position to seal the game for the Quakers as they earned their second State Championship in school history!

Ro. Tattersall ’23 accounted for 232 total yards and one touchdown to lead the Quakers on offense. Dobson did a little bit of everything for WFS as he caught the lone touchdown, recorded a team-high eight tackles, and recovered one fumble. Jason Hughes ’24 had a team-high 45 receiving yards on three catches while Jaden Willie ’23 added 27 yards on four catches. Hudson Zawadzkas ’23 recorded the lone sack of the evening while Colin Harron ’23 (seven tackles), Tyler Maheshwari ’24 (six tackles), and Phil Crock ’23 (five tackles) consistently made plays at the line of scrimmage all night for WFS.
