Week 4 notes:

Moore playing in beast mode

Christian Moore is playing in beast mode on both sides of the ball. He led the 6U squad with his strong play as the Warriors improved to 3-1. “They are looking like a team to be reckoned,” said Ferreira.   

Coach Coelho and 8U team get off to a solid start

Coach Shawn Coelho, his staff and the 8U team overcame preseason adversity to start the season 3-1. They battled a solid New Bedford team to a 14-12 victory.  Brody Silver and Francis Furtado each ran for touchdowns. Pierce Emard ran for two extra points and made several tackles defensively. They are looking to make the playoffs as they prep for the second half of the season. 

10U team pummeling opponents

The 10U Warriors are 4-0 and looking like a juggernaut as they pummeled their opponents 107-6 through the first four games. This team is the epitome of what the word team stands for as several players on both sides of the ball are playing at a high level. 10U is led by a stout defense of tough hard nosed football players who bring tons of energy and effort. 

12U team gets back on track

After starting the season 0-3, the 12U Warriors beat up Portsmouth 38-13 in week 4.  Quarterback Shea Worthen and running back Kai Williford led the offensive attack and Logan Ferreira put in a stellar effort on defense with six tackles. The team has its sights on making a playoff push.
