The Canfield Village Middle School seventh-grade football team improved to six and zero with a 36-6 victory over Niles at Bo Rein Field.
Canfield opened the scoring by taking the opening drive 65 yards in eight plays to take a 8-0 lead. Quarterback Broc Lowry rolled right and found Jack Fabry in the corner of the end zone from 14 yards out for the six pointer. Lowry then hit tight end AJ Havrilla for the conversion.
Ryan Schneider fell on a Niles fumble at the 23 yard line to set the Cardinals up for their next scoring opportunity. The seventh-graders struck quickly when Lowry hit Schneider with a scoring toss on the first play of the possession and then found Gavin Ramun for the conversion for a 16-0 advantage.
The Cardinals continued their aerial onslaught when Lowry heaved a 57-yard strike to Schneider to make it 22-0 early in the second quarter. Canfield fullback Dom Marzano burst through the Dragon defense and rumbled 49 yards to paydirt to extend the Canfield lead to 28-0. Ethan Whited tacked on the conversion kick to give the Cards a 29-0 halftime lead.
Niles narrowed the margin to 29-6 early in the fourth quarter but the Cardinal’s Jeff Demarco sprinted 65 yards on the next play to extend the lead to 35-6. Schneider booted the extra point for the final margin.
The seventh-graders piled up more than 300 yards of total offense keyed by Lowry’s 126 yards on seven of 12 passing, Schneider’s 114 yards of offense, Demarco rushed for 92 yards in four carries and Marzano had 83 yards rushing and receiving.
