CB West..........  6  Freedom..........14

The Bucks of Central Bucks West kicked off their 2006 campaign on Friday night against the Freedom Patriots.  The game was played under occasional showers and a sustained breeze, courtesy of Tropical Storm Ernesto.  The Bucks’ home opener also marked the unveiling of War Memorial Field’s new, state-of-the-art playing surface.        C.B. West’s defense dominated most of the game, especially in the first half where the Patriots were held scoreless.  The Bucks’ tenacious defense was due in large part to an intimidating pass rush that hounded Freedom’s quarterback Joseph Weaver and made the Patriots running game earn of every yard they gained.  The Bucks’ defensive unit was led by senior defensive end Tucker Thompson who recorded a couple of sacks and junior Eric Fechter who made his presence felt with a couple of tackles for losses.  It appeared as though the teams would enter the locker room knotted in a scoreless tie, but West mounted a charge late in the second quarter which was capped by a beautifully executed “alley-oop” touchdown pass from Wes O’Kula to Andy Russell.  The Bucks were unsuccessful on the extra point attempt, but carried the lead into the locker room.     West’s defense continued its strong play in the second half, but unfortunately was plagued by a few special teams miscues and a couple of untimely, questionable calls.  The Patriots were able to take advantage and Weaver delivered a 27-yard touchdown strike in the third and Sigley punched the ball into the end zone again from a yard out in the fourth.  Both scores were followedropped their opener  14-6

 Strong performances were also put in by Matt Fitz who gained 52 yards on ten rushes and Wes O’Kula tallied an interception.  The entire defensive unit played well against a Freedom team that will surely put up a lot of points this year.  The entire West team benefited from a loud and spirited bench and from the support of the best fans in the state of Pennsylvania.  WEST IS BEST!  GO BUCKS!!

CB West .....20    CB South.....47

The Bucks traveled to Titan Stadium on Friday night to face off against cross-town rival Central Bucks South.  The upstart Titans were looking to build upon their opening week victory against Council Rock South.  Central Bucks West was seeking its first triumph of the young season.  This much-anticipated early season showdown drew fans from all over the area and it was obvious as Titan Stadium was bursting at the seams with supporters from both schools.  West looked to establish defensive supremacy early as they forced and recovered a South fumble on the second play from scrimmage.  However, the Bucks were unable to put any points on the board as they soon turned the ball over on downs.  C.B. South wasted no time on this possession when junior running back Eric Reynolds scampered 83 yards to paydirt.  South converted the extra point and lead 7-0.  On the ensuing possession, the Bucks methodically marched 72 yards to the end zone.  The drive was capped by a beautifully executed touchdown pass from O’Kula to Russell from the Titans’ 21 yard line, reminiscent of their hookup in the opening game against Freedom.  The PAT was good and the score was knotted at 7-7.   The Titan offense quickly answered the Bucks’ strike with one of their own from Miller to Donnelly and lead 14-7.  Early in the second quarter, West took advantage of another Titan fumble and the formidable passing combination of O’Kula to Russell struck again from the Titan 36 yard line.  The Bucks trailed 14-13 following an unsuccessful extra point attempt.

However, the remainder of the half would not be friendly to the visiting Bucks as the Titans reached the end zone three more times, once through the air and twice on the ground.  This pushed the Titans’ lead to 33-13 as the teams entered the locker room.  South was able to score another touchdown on their first possession of the second half and extended the lead to 40-13.  The Bucks kept the pressure on the Titans and their perseverance paid off when they recovered the third South fumble of the evening.  West assumed possession at the Titans’ 28 yard line and punched the ball in five plays later on a Tim Mooradd 1-yard run.  The extra point was successful and the score stood at 40-20 at the end of the third quarter.  South would add a final touchdown in the fourth quarter and the game ended with a 47-20 Titan victory.  Strong performances were put in once again by the O’Kula-Russell passing tandem as Coach Felton and the Bucks’ staff successfully established the passing game.   The Bucks’ offensive line played a huge role as their pass blocking bought O’Kula plenty of time on many key passes.  In addition, Ted Conrad, Dave Mastrangelo, and Andrew Conley forced fumbles that were recovered by Matt Fitz and Tim Mooradd.

The Bucks face off against Quakertown at War Memorial Field on Friday evening in their first conference game of the season.  WEST IS BEST!  GO BUCKS!!

CB West..........26  Quakertown..........6

The Bucks of Central Bucks West had revenge on their minds as they faced off against the Quakertown Panthers on Friday night in the friendly confines of War Memorial Field.  West dropped the season opener at Quakertown a year ago and Chris Felton and his coaching staff wanted to make sure that history did not repeat itself on this night.  Both teams were seeking their first victory of the young season.  It seemed that the Panthers would pick up where they left as they marched down the field on their first drive.  However, the Bucks would have none of it as Quakertown’s Kyle Ames had the ball jarred loose by the Bucks’ defense on the goal line.  West recovered the fumble and the Panther drive came to a crashing halt.  Unfortunately, the Bucks’ initial drive would meet a similar demise as they coughed the ball up deep in the Panthers’ territory.  The drive had early promise as Matt Fitz scampered 48 yards from the 25 yard line.  Neither team was able to score in the remainder of the opening quarter and the game went into its second frame in a scoreless tie.  Quakertown was able to make its way deep into Bucks’ territory on two occasions during the second quarter, but had to settle for two Jordan Waxman field goals.  It seemed as though the Bucks would enter the locker room facing a 6-0 deficit, but when Quakertown’s Jordan Waxman kicked off following his second field goal the ball found its way to the hands of junior Ryan O’Kula and lightning struck.  O’Kula initially began his scintillating kickoff return running to his left, but then cut it back to his right and found a gear that nobody else on the field had and he was gone for a 92-yard touchdown.  McDevitt added the PAT and the Bucks and their faithful fans were given a well-deserved dose of momentum.  The Bucks found themselves with a 7-6 halftime lead.  The spark provided by O’Kula’s return would carry over into the second half as Andy Russell added another chapter to his ever-growing highlight reel with a beautiful 53-yard cutback run that went for paydirt. Complemented by a great defensive effort, the Bucks put a stranglehold on the game with a 5-yard touchdown reception by Tim Mooradd from Wes O’Kula.  West further increased its lead on Nick Donato’s nifty nineteen-yard touchdown run.  McDevitt converted the PAT and the Bucks led 26-6, where the score would stay.  The victory was the result of key plays at key moments in the game and a West defense that refused to let the Panthers consistently move the ball.  Quakertown was only able to muster 23 yards through the air.  Matt Fitz broke the hundred-yard mark(101) on 8 carries and West’s top three rushers averaged over ten yards per carry.  Teddy Conrad, Eric Fechter, Matt McMurdo, and Dave Mastrangelo all had standout performances for the  victorious Bucks. 

The Bucks look to make it two in a row as they face off against Souderton on Thursday night.  WEST IS BEST!  GO BUCKS!!

Weekly Awards for Quakertown Game ~ 9/15/06

Thursday, September 21, 2006 at War Memorial Field
CB West..........6  Souderton..........49

The Bucks faced off against the Souderton Indians under the lights of War Memorial Field in a rare Thursday night contest.  The game was a renewal of an old Bux-Mont rivalry that had been on ice for thirteen years.  The Indians were looking to build on an already promising season and the Bucks were looking to make it two in a row after last Friday’s defeat of Quakertown.  The opening kickoff would set the tone for the game as senior Ronnie Powell returned the boot 70 yards to the end zone.  The PAT was good and Souderton never looked back.  Souderton would score again in the first quarter on a Ryan Dickerson 40-yard touchdown catch from quarterback Mike Franklin.  Souderton led 14-0 at that point.  Souderton would reach the end zone three more times in the second quarter on scoring runs by each of the Powell brothers and one by Mike Franklin.  In addition, the Indians built on their lead with touchdown runs in the third and fourth quarters by Ryan A. Brown and James VanDerbeek respectively.

  The Bucks did have their share of strong performances on a night that they would otherwise rather forget.  Offensively, quarterback Wes O’Kula connected with Andy Russell on a 29-yard touchdown strike in the fourth quarter.  The Bucks offensive line played solidly throughout the game, allowing Wes O’Kula to complete 11 of 23 passes for 121 yards against a very tenacious Souderton defense.  On the defensive side of the ball, Dave Mastrangelo played tough in the middle and Tim Proud added an interception.

  The Bucks look to get back into the win column on Friday night at War Memorial Field against longtime rival Central Bucks East.  WEST IS BEST!  GO BUCKS!!
