Josiah Spleen impressed while gobbling up large chunks of yards against a tough Wildcat defense. Spleen also aided the Force defense with several impressive stops from the linebacker position.

Adamze Mansaray, Trevor Poulin and Connor Page had enormous blocks downfield helping spring Force Runners for large plays.

A stout offensive line, anchored by Nick Acevedo, Ashton Carrion, Sebastian Simoneau, Paul O’Brien, Shawn Burress, Vincent Valenta and Diones Delacruz, controlled the line of scrimmage for the Force.

The Force defense was relentless all afternoon with Carrion, Acevedo and Toribio keeping the Wildcat offense off balance.

Mansaray and Page helped shut down a potent passing game and Tayten Metallic added an acrobatic interception to stall a Londonderry drive. Kayden Geddes showed his toughness and versatility while moving from the corner spot to inside linebacker duties where he helped to solidify the victory for the Force.
