Deerfield 22 - Winnetka 0. BLACK WARRIORS GET DOWN & DIRTY IN SEASON OPENER!
By Andrea B
It was perfect football weather. Windy, rainy, cloudy and cold.But that didn't stop the Deerfield Young Warrior's Black team from playing with authority on the first Sunday of the season. They were relentless, resilient, and most of all, remarkable.
Within the first two minutes of the game, the Warriors drove the ball downfield for a touchdown. First, it was rookie Jake S with a couple of yards off the opening kick-off. Then, rookie fullback Pavle C for a few more yards. Finally, here comes running back Sam M for a fast and furious 35-yard run into the end zone! Combine that with the extra point by QB Matt K and we've got a 7-0 ball game!
But it gets better. Now Winnetka has the ball. And the Warrior defense is pumped. Coaches B, B and P have been preaching defensive toughness to this team since practices began in early August. And boy did it pay off. Winnetka could not make any progress. The defense was too strong.
At one point, Coach Bess shouted ''Did you see that swarm tackling? We had five red guys on that guy! Way to go!'' And so it was.
The whole game. For four, long, wet, muddy quarters. And it was awesome! As parent Tom S put it, ''If they can play in this weather, they can play in any weather!''
Other key moments in the game included two fumble recoveries by returning outside linebacker Nick B, a 25-yard TD run in the 3rd quarter by veteran wide receiver Jack P, another big touchdown run by Sam M, and a safety in the 4th quarter adding up to a whopping 22-0 victory over Winnetka. In fact, Warrior defense was so powerful, Winnetka never made a first down, and actually ended up with negative yardage at the end of the game.
''So far, so good!'', said a happy Coach B after the game.
Meanwhile, mud-packed players and soaked fans were cheering big time for this young, determined team. They were on the board. With a big win. A huge win. A win that only happens when 22 boys play as one. And it really doesn't matter who makes all the great tackles. Or who runs the ball. Or who recovers the fumbles. Because apparently there are a lot of great playmakers here. And I can tell you right now, this team is going to play hard every week. They've got talent. And toughness. And best of all, they've got game.
The Black Warriors will be back in action on Sunday, September 17th when they take on Wilmette.
Let's hope for more great football weather. Rain or shine. Warriors fight on.

Deerfield 19 - Highland Park 0
It doesn't get much better.
A beautiful day. Home field advantage. Plenty of fans. And a 19-0 shutout by the Black Warriors. It all started on the Deerfield back 40 as the players took the field. Highland Park had the first possession, but not for long. Pavle C came up with a fumble recovery within the first few plays and Warriors were off!
What followed were four quarters of excellent playing all around. Rookie QB Pavle C did a great job calling and executing the plays. Alec F, Sam M, Michael L and Jack P racked up the yards running and catching the ball as the Warriors moved closer and closer to the end zone. Big defensive plays were made by Kevin M, Charlie C and Zach L.
Before long, it was Sam M in the end zone for a quick 6-0 Warrior lead. Then it was Sam M in the end zone again for a 12-0 lead, with Pavle C running in the extra point to go 13-0.? Finally, Sam M ran it in for the 3rd touchtown, with a final score Warriors 19 - Highland Park ZIP!
But that's not all. Today we saw some big plays. Long throws downfield that were caught with precision! Pavle C to Jack P, Pavle C to Sam M, and Sam M to Jack P. Three big pass plays that wowed the crowd. And intimated the opponent. Factor in the massive tackles and five fumble recoveries by Nick B(2), Pavle C, Michael L and Zach L and this game was a done deal. No question about it.
The Black Warriors dominated today. They played with authority and confidence. And that is precisely why Highland Park came up short. Here's to another ''W'' on the scoreboard as the Black Warriors extend their season record to 2-1.
Next game will be Sunday, October 1st @ 1:30 vs. Skokie at Deerfield. Forecast, as of now, calls for a cloudy day, 65 degrees, with a few possible showers. Can you think of better football weather?
