October 23, 2011  By Laurel Adamcik

The Poston Butte Broncos came to Gilbert Thursday to tangle with the Williams Field Black Hawks JV in a defensive classic. The Black Hawks were a swarm of red and black, shutting down the Poston Butte running game and knocking down passes, while the Broncos kept the Black Hawks’ explosive offense bottled up. Poston Butte finally punched though the Black Hawks defense and found the end zone at 4:17 of the 2nd    quarter, but failed to convert the point after touchdown. The Black Hawks responded by driving the length of the field on a kick-off return and a long run by Jacob Anderson,  and culminating in a receiving TD by Nick Adamcik on 4th down. Riley Gaumnitz converted the PAT, and the Black Hawks went up 7-6. A Broncos fumble gave Williams Field the ball with a short field, and Cole Patterson scored on a quarterback keeper, diving across the goal line with 33 seconds left, and the Black Hawks took a 14-6 lead to the locker room.

The defense continued to dominate in the second half, led by Conner Mathers, Nick Bialkowski, Cristos Ortega and Cliff Weybrecht, as the Bronco running game was continually punished. A blocked punt by Weybrecht gave the Black Hawks the ball on the goal line, setting up an easy TD by Anderson, and stretching the lead to   20-6 at 2:28 of the 3rd quarter. Poston Butte was not finished, however, scoring again at 7:20 of the 4th quarter and closing the gap to 20-12. The Black Hawks, looking for the knock-out punch and in the red zone, turned the ball over on downs in a one score game with one minute to go, but the defense held and the Black Hawks won 20-12. The season ends with the JV record 5-2, one game canceled.

The JV Black Hawks and a contingency of fans made the trek to Casa Grande to take on the Vista Grande Spartans Thursday. The Black Hawks started fast, capitalizing on Vista Grande mistakes, and by halftime, the Black Hawks had built a 34-0 lead, on touchdowns by Jacob Anderson, Jalen Ross, and Kyle Gill. Nick Adamcik added another score in the third quarter, and the Black Hawk cruised to their third consecutive blow out victory.

Next up is a big game home game against undefeated Poston Butte in what will be the final game of the season.

It was a night of big plays as Rivalry Week continued Thursday night, with the JV Black Hawks picking up where the Frosh left off. Higley won the coin toss, deferred and kicked shallow, but Nick Adamcik managed to get the ball and returned it the length of the field for the first score, just 12 seconds into the game. Riley Gaumnitz converted and the Black Hawks had the first lead of the game, 7-0. Higley’s first drive stalled and they had to punt, giving the Black Hawks the ball, but a fumble on the first play of the drive gave the Knights possession with a short field, setting up an easy score. A two point conversion gave Higley the lead 8-7 at 6:35 of the first quarter. The Black Hawks had a punt blocked on their next possession, giving the Knights the ball at the Black Hawks 20, but the defense held, and the Knights turned it over on downs. A 40 yard run by Kyle Gill set up a 37 yard touchdown run by Jacob Anderson, but a failed a 2 point conversion put the Black Hawks back on top 13-8

Higley marched the ball up the field for a TD at 9:15 of the second quarter, and the Knights led 14-13. Gill and Anderson teamed again on another touchdown drive and Roman Sholtens took a punt return to the house. Black Hawks lead 26-14 at 6:55. Noah Del Los Monteros recovered a Higley fumble, but the Black Hawks gave it back. The Black Hawks defense held. Anderson scored on a spectacular 67 yard run, breaking tackles and blowing by defenders along the way. Sholtens had a pick six and Anderson ended the half with a 50 yard touchdown reception play, bringing the score to 46-14, Black Hawks.

Gale scored two more TDs and Gabe Cobb has a 20 yard TD run. The third quarter ended with Williams Field on top 60-14.

The Knights scored three times against the Black Hawks second team in the fourth quarter, but Williams Field wins 60-34, giving the Black Hawks JV their first victory over Higley in their five years of existence.

The Black Hawks Varsity is up next in the much anticipated finale at Higley High School at 7pm Friday. The game is being steamed live by AIA360.com and is the Channel 3 Varsity Zone game of the week, but please come out to the game in person and give our boys our support as they look to complete the sweep!

The Black Hawks JV met Division II Marcos De Niza in Tempe Thursday night.  Marcos de Niza scored first, but missed the extra point, putting the Padres up 6-0 at 8:37 of the 1stquarter. Roman Sholtens took the kick-off to the house, but the Black Hawks missed another extra point, and the score was tied 6-6. Brady Alexander picked off a Padre pass, and put the ball back in the hands of the offense. Quarterback Cole Patterson connected with Jalen Ross for a 25 yard touchdown pass, putting the Black Hawks on top 12-6, to begin the 2ndquarter, but the two point conversion fell short. The Padres struck again on a 50 yard touchdown pass and the score was knotted up 12-12 with 1:47 left in the half. Another long return by Sholtens, and the Black Hawks, in their two minute offense marched up the field. The drive culminated in a 2 yard Patterson touchdown pass to tight end, Andrew Krueger, with :09 left in the half.

The Black Hawks asserted themselves in the second half with the defense holding the Padres scoreless and forcing a fumble. The offense controlled the game with the run, and scored TDs by Krueger, Ross, and Kyle Gill. The Black Hawks win 39-12 and improve their record to 2-2.

 The Williams Field JV next face Higley at home next week. The Black Hawks JV team’s last victory over the Knights was five years ago, so it is time to end their win streak. Let’s all come out and fill the stands, make plenty of noise, and cheer our boy’s to victory!

Our Black Hawks JV fought a great battle against  a formidable  Division I team, the Mt Pointe Pride. The game started on another kick-off return TD by Nick Adamcik. Mt. Pointe came right back and scored a TD on the next possession, but missed the extra point, and the fight was on. Kyle Gill and Jacob Anderson each scored touchdowns,  and the defense posted  a great Red Zone stand, but the two turn-overs were the difference in the game.

The JV Black Hawks rebounded from their season opening loss and posted a 40-18 victory over the Campo Verde Coyotes, on the road, Thursday night.

There has been some confusion about the Frosh practice schedule for Fridays. During the season, Frosh practice on Fridays, JV does not; Frosh and JV do not practice on Saturdays.

The Black Hawks JV opened their season with a hard fought battle against the Queen Creek Bulldogs. Although they led the entire first half, turn overs proved to be too much, and they fell behind by 10 points with five minutes left in the game.  A spectacular kick-off return brought new life to the team, but the nightmare of turnovers continued. The final seconds brought a clock controversy,  a safety score, and an end zone interception, as the clock expired.

Next up: Campo Verde.   Go Black Hawks!
