Midget, Pee Wee Teams On a Roll

The Grafton Chiefs Jr. Midget and Pee Wee teams continued their impressive seasons, staying undefeated over the weekend competing in the Central Mass Shaver Bowls at Auburn High School. 

The Jr. Midgets defeated the Tantasqua Braves 30-0 and the Pee Wee team defeated the North Middlesex Wrangler’s 20-0.

The Jr. Midgets just pushed their way around the field the entire night. Early on in the game the Chiefs proved they were just too strong for the Braves.

The Chiefs got the ball early after an onside kick in which the Chiefs took only a few plays to drive down 40 yards to go up and never look back. The Braves had one nice drive in an attempt to try and get into the game that stalled around the 10 yard line after the Chiefs defense really tightened up to take back the ball. 

The Chiefs proceeded to march back down the field scoring another touchdown on some nice running by Chief running backs.

The Pee Wee played a tough North Middlesex Wrangler team, the Chiefs defense came out strong in forcing a safety early in the game after a spectacular punt that pinned the Wranglers deep on their own two-yard line. 

Following the safety the Chiefs moved the ball down the field on some impressive running to take control of the game going up 8-0. North Middlesex played very well, but they just could not get any sustained drives going against the tough Chief defense.

Both teams will now move onto the New England region playoffs at 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 12  against Eastern Mass Teams at Murdock High School, 3 Memorial Drive, Winchendon.

The Pee Wee team will play at Noon and the Jr. Midgets will play at 2 p.m. They will also host a JPW Central Mass. playoff game at 11 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 14. at as the JPW team contends for the Central Mass. Super Bowl.
