Generals D Team Defeats Winthrop 20-14

The Generals D team defeated Winthrop 20-14. The Generals took a 6-0 lead on an impressive 60-yard run by Patrick Nistl.  The lead swelled to 14-0 on a 55-yard TD reception by Colby Cala from Tom Kain. Clayton Booma ran in the 2 point conversion. In the second half, Patrick Nistl made a great cut and sprinted for another long TD run, giving Hamilton-Wenham a 20-0 lead.

The Generals defense dominated on the superb play of Erik Fotta and William Jones.   The Generals defense continued to hold a tough Winthrop team at bay until the end of the third quarter when Winthrop sustained a long drive to cut the lead to 20-6.  Another long drive by Winthrop resulted in a score, but it took up over 7 minutes as the resilient Generals defense made them earn every yard.

Outstanding performances across the whole defense were highlighted by several hustle plays by Patrick Nistl, Justin Santos, and Colby Cala and the solid upfront play of Fotta and Jones. On offense, Tom Kain continued his solid play at QB and first-time center Ben Harres deserved special kudos. Patrick Nistl, Colby Guyer and Jake Brainard were outstanding running the ball for the Generals.

Hamilton Wenham Generals C-Team Defeats Winthrop 24 -22

Trailing 18-6 at halftime, the Hamilton-Wenham C-Team rallied to defeat the Winthrop Vikings 24-22 this past weekend. The Generals controlled the line of scrimmage in the second half behind the offense line of Josh Polese, Morgan Liphardt and Peter Lowrie, allowing quarterback Adam Parady to lead the offense to three second half touchdowns. The Generals backfield of Andrew Riccio and Phillip Durgin each rushed for touchdowns in the second half and it proved to be too much speed and power for the Vikings defense to handle.

On special teams, Daniel Tobin recovered an onside kick that led to a Generals score. On defense, Thomas Lattanzi sacked the Winthrop quarterback late in the game halting a two-point conversation that would have evened the score, preserving a Generals victory.
