The Pee Wee Blazes also faced off against Wells at home in two hard-fought defensive battles. Westbrook’s improved defensive play seemed to be sparked by hard hits that led to forced fumbles.

Offensively, the Pee Wee’s rushing game was led by Steven White’s 101 rushing yards and touchdown. Jackson Sanders added 42 yards on the ground as Aiden Taylor chipped in 15 yards and a few big blocks. Under center for the Blazes was Ryan Francheschi who rushed for a 2-yard touchdown late in the third quarter. Ryan had an outstanding 14-yard throw to his favorite wide receiver, Sean Johnson, on a 4th and 12, which put the team in scoring position. Blocking for the 6th grade Blazes were Dom Brunner, Jared Fickett, Ben Eugley, Jefferson Sines, Carson Dow, Carter Dow and Damon Chandler. This group is improving each game and are really fun to watch. Westbrook Pee Wee’s won the first game 14-8 and improved their record to 4-1.

Wade Leavitt, Conrad Sargent, Mohammad Mousa, Quinton LeClerc, Anthony Vasquez, Molly Mitchell, Pilsbury, Basinet, Harvey and Liam Hall all took turns blocking for the offense and because of them, Westbrook was able to stay with the chains for most of the day and own the clock.
