SAXONS OFF TO 1-0 START!!!
Senior, Aaron Roberts has a huge night with 4 TD's as Saxons dominate


Aaron Roberts had a career night against the Indians - 3 receiving TD's and 1 interception for a TD.

Ferris Saxons Football started off the 2008 season with a convincing 49-6 win over the North Central Indians.  Senior Aaron Roberts had a career high night with 120 yds receiving on 4 catches.  Three of the four catches were for touchdowns.  He also had a 67 yard pick six in the third quarter.

For those in the stands that watched and wondered how the "new" players would do after the class of 08 graduated - It's all good. In the first half, the Saxons offense scored on all possessions and the defense held the Indians to unofficially one, maybe, two first downs.

Nathan Tonani had a huge game with 88 yards rushing, including a nifty 51 yard touchdown run in the first quarter.  Nate was a force on defense with a nose for the ball carrier and getting in on a number of tackles.  Nate's brother Jordan also saw his first varsity football action and made his presence know.  He made a nice play on a NC pass and picked it off.

Probably, a little overlooked in all the excitement was new starting QB Connor Halliday.  He started out a little rough, missing his first three passes but settled in and had a nice first outing.  He was 7-12 for 170 yards and three TD's.  Congratulations Connor.

Ferris now has to gear up for next weeks game against the Gonzaga Prep Bullpups.  Gonzaga had quite a contingency of coaches and players at the game trying to scout the Saxons.   Tomorrow night GP plays EV and I would bet that there will be some representation from Ferris scouting up both teams - if you are interested, that game is at East Valley at 7:00pm.

Old Man Minn Game Notes:  My man, Brett Ward, scooped up a fumble and he rumbled, bumbled and stumbled for a beautiful 90 yd TD.....Derek Peterson threw probably the nicest pass of the game on a nice 30 yd timing pattern that he laid right into the receivers hands - it was nice....The Saxons had some penalty issues (8 for 80 yards) that I'm sure will be addressed over the week...Game Pictures will be coming soon
