WPCNR PRESS BOX. By John F. Bailey. September 13, 2009: White Plains dominated Gorton in the drizzle and mud Saturday afternoon in Yonkers, moving the ball at will and holding Gorton to just two first downs in three quarters. The Tigers Doug Sewitch returned a punt 51 yards for touchdown in the last minute of the First Quarter when Gorton's punter Josh Grant out kicked his coverage.

As Sewitch bobbled the ball, picked it up,  he swerved to the far sideline nine Wolves converged on Dough on the far sideline at the Gorton 40, Sewitch spun and cut back to his left, outflanked the Wolfpack pursuers, and slanted away from the last two defenders who missed him at the 25 and cruised into the end zone for the first touchdown-- 51 yards. That's Sewitch in far left corner of the endzone, completing his punt return for a TD.

After the kickoff, Gorton started on their 35 when the Tigers kicked the ball out of bounds. Gorton's Antheil Cobb was sacked at the 26 on third down and on the following punt, the Tigers took over at the Gorton 46. On First down, Quarterback Mike Trapp pitched the ball back to Daryl Schuler who broke around right end down the far side line for 46 yards and a touchdown, giving the Tigers a 13-0 lead.

Quarterback Joe Sperduto readies a handoff to Daryl Schuler behind Guard Brock Duncan. Schuler would pull out and go around left end and into paydirt, 20 yards for his third touchdown of the day.

Schuler had a great day for the Tigers,  scoring touchdowns in the Third and Fourth Quarters. Gorton could not penetrate past the White Plains 30.  Schuler's speed and shifty moves paid off in an estimated 200 yards rushing. Anthon Cardon complimented Schuler with strong running of his own.  Accurate passing by starting QB Mike Trapp, the few times he did have to throw, was impressive. Mr.  Trapp also took care of the handoff business with no fluffs, no muffs, no fumbles on a hard day to hold onto a football.  A pretty impressive day of moving the ball for the Tigers with only two illegal procedure penalties, no offsides penalties through three quarters.

 Myron Moore had a key fumble recovery  at the Gorton 45 to stake the Tigers to great field position in the Third Quarter, setting up Schuler's second touchdown. Doug Sewitch picked off a Gorton pass in the third quarter to stall the one drive Gorton had.

They looked very good in their opening game of the football season. The Tigers play Lincoln Thursday evening.
