Golden Ram Football Club: Team News - 2014 Second Spring Scrimmage Report

The offense showed significant improvement from last week in the Golden Rams' second spring scrimmage held in Farrell Stadium. The weather was perfect and spirits were high as the players readied for Easter.Here are some observations:

Fullback Camille Max made a nice catch from Pat Moriarty. On the very next play, Max laid a crushing block.
The running game had a lot of success as both Eddie Elliott and Jarel Elder used their speed for long gains.
R-Fr. defensive end John Dubyk had a quarterback sack.
Shannon Mayer made a nice one-handed catch and Adam Dempsey was productive as ever over the middle.
Captain Ronell Williams was in shorts and watched the action from the sidelines.
One former player was especially impressed with the performances of wide receiver A.J. DePietro and tight end Connor McGrath in the receiving game.
R-Fr. linebacker Jordan Mapp put pressure on the quarterback a number of times.
Defensive end George Shipp made a downfield tackle of Adam Dempsey.
Mohammed Diabate used his height to make a catch over John McGilligan for a one-play, 60-yard touchdown from Pat Moriarty.
Ryan Boyd made a couple of tough catches again this week.
The defense made a nice red zone stop including a crushing pass breakup by Ted Patton (now wearing #5 and playing defensive back) on Shannon Mayer.
