LE ROY PENNYSAVER & NEWS - OCTOBER 23, 2016
The LeRoy youth Flag Foot-
ball teams traveled to Dansville
this past Sunday in an evenly
aged matchup for the second
time this year. On a perfect
warm fall day in the valley of
a picturesque small town it
was another fun filled, football
frenzy funday-Sunday to enjoy.
The intensity peaked early
at Babcock Park as the Pee-Wee
teams battled in a fierce game
that had both sidelines feeling
chippy.
The RED & BLACK flag
squads were prepared for chip-
py, fast pace, slow pace, and
Dansville's best player, Chance
Dean-Diaz. LeRoy prepared all
week for the athletic Dean-Diaz
who is the star on the Dansville
Black team. The LeRoy coaches
brought in former players to
mimic Dean-Diaz's talents and
abilities in practice. Coach Kev-
in Olivani, felt well prepared
for anything Dansville had to
offer as he described his squads
preparation,"phenomenal!".
The LeRoy RED team facing
Dansville's Red team started
off on defense first and to the
surprise of everyone, Chance
Dean-Diaz was in a Red jersey.
Dansville had this game on
the calendar circled as many
do when the LeRoy Knights
roll into their town. This was
Dansville's Super Bowl as they
stacked 1 team to compete
with the well rehearsed RED
& BLACK KNIGHTS from
LeRoy.
It didn't take long for the
LeRoy defense to spot the
The LeRoy Red & Black Flag Football Teams
Keller, Hall, Kochmanski & Dunaway Lead Leroy
Jacob Keller runs for his first career Touchdown
curveball switch as Dean-Diaz
was lined up, eye to eye against
Carson "Nutter" Stiles. "Nutter
island" has not been friendly
since being burned by York's
speedy back, Bauer three weeks
ago as the younger Stiles broth-
er has shut down everything that
has come his way with some
help from his friends, Chandler
"The next big thing" Hall, Kade
"Kaderaide", Olivani , and Ry-
der Stiles. Nutter island would
stay unfriendly and combative
as Dansville would not gain a
yard on their first possession.
It would take only 3 plays
as the crisp RED offense led
by Ryder Stiles at quarterback
would feed "The Road Run-
ner", Donovan Gaillard on a 47
sweep.....Beep Beep, TOUCH-
DOWN! Gaillard would score
3 times on the day as he was
unstoppable in the first half.
The RED defense fought
hard against the stacked Dans-
ville team and did not allow
Dean-Diaz in the end zone. Ry-
der Stiles and Kade Olivani both
made last second flag grabs that
could have been touchdowns.
"Nutter" shadowed Dean-Diaz
throughout the first half as the
relentless RED defense kept
the talented half back out of the
end zone.
The RED team faced the
Dansville Black team in the
second half without their best
player Dean-Diaz and it was
an offensive explosion for the
RED Knights. Standouts, An-
dreas Condidorio and Donovan
Gaillard otherwise know as
"Thunder & Lightening" would
not touch the ball on offense in
the second half as they rested
for Geneseo.
Jacob "Mr. Handsome"
Keller took a 22 dive straight
up the middle, then juked to the
left with Dansville defenders
in his rear view mirror, burned
down the sideline, into the end
zone, TOUCHDOWN! Keller's
touchdown was the first of his
career. This play will not be
forgotten as the LeRoy fans
were loudly cheering on the fan
favorite "Mr Handsome".
On the very next offensive
possession starting left guard
and middle linebacker Chandler
Hall got the call on another
22 dive. Hall busted through
the hole as if he were a John
Deere combine and decimated
the Dansville defense. Again
the LeRoy faithful fans erupted
with noise as the big boy, Hall
rumbled into the end zone,
TOUCHDOWN! Hall's first
career TD as he is showered
with appreciation from his
teammates.
On the 3rd offensive pos-
session Jacob "Snuggle in the
Huddle" Kochmanski would get
the call on yet another 22 dive.
Kochmanski would break off
into the secondary only to be
tackled from behind. Kochman-
ski, visibly upset, takes the play
after next into the end zone for
an easy breezy TOUCHDOWN!
The LeRoy faithful erupt into
cheer once again as "Snuggle in
the huddle" gets his first career
score.
Andreas Condidorio, the
ball hawking outside lineback-
er would put the exclamation
point on the day as he ended the
scoring with a PICK 6 TOUCH-
DOWN! His second of the year.
The LeRoy BLACK team
started off the morning against
Dansville's Black squad in
an uneven matchup. Marin
Kemp, the defensive special-
ist and grinding running back
set the tempo early with a 95
yard TOUCHDOWN! Another
"KEMP QUAKE" that gets the
LeRoy fans excited.
"The road grader", Grady
Kanaley and Peyton Privitera
would follow suit on the next
2 offensive possessions, taking
the ball the distance.
Privitera was not finished
scoring as he threw a laser to
Jude Christ that went 95 yards
for a TOUCHDOWN!
Four touchdowns on four
possessions when Cameron
Dunaway gets the call on pos-
session #5. Dunaway has hit
his stride in recent weeks dom-
inating in practice and games
primarily on defense. On this
gorgeous Sunday he gets multi-
ple carries on drive #5 and gets
his first TOUCHDOWN of his
career. Dunaway has already
signed his letter of intent to play
for the Junior Knights. He sure-
ly will look tough in pads next
year and be a force right away.
The second half was much
more competitive as the afore-
mentioned Dean-Diaz from
Dansville started to get rolling.
The LeRoy black defense held
their own with Brayden Wilson,
Brennan Weber, Caleb Schutt
and Kemp all playing very
physical.
Wilson and Kemp would
get knocked down and get up
again (your never going to keep
them down) to stop the stacked
Dansville Red team.
John "Hawkeye" Bogan led
a drive with several nice runs
that eventually led to anoth-
er "Kemp Quake" TOUCH-
DOWN!
Brennan Weber, Jude Christ
and Caleb Schutt all played
excellent defense with Weber
garnering 5 flag grabs for a loss.
