PENNSBURY 15, NESHAMINY 5
The Falcons kept possession of the coveted Doug Greenfield ‘Grandpa’ Cup they’d won in 2019 when the neighboring rivals last met. The cup is named after the longtime Pennsbury assistant who played a major role in the start of the program and passed away in 2018.
The Falcons also honored the team’s nine seniors – Will Cusick, Avery Dysart, Nico Cione, Ty Geist, Matt Harkins, Ryan DeZutel, Stone Bambrick, Tyler Miles and Jackson Lake.
“It was a great game,” Pennsbury coach Dean Curtis said. “It was Senior Night, we played our rival, and our boys put together a really good effort led by Jack (Kalinowski) and Avery (Dysart).
“The whole team contributed to the win from senior Ryan DeZutel winning the first face-off and scoring to senior Will Cusick playing a great game and leading our defense.”
Kalinowski scored six goals and assisted on three others in a stellar offensive performance. Dysart also came up big on attack, contributing six goals. Kolby Ranniello had one goal and one assist while Kyle Rinehimer and Ryan DeZutel both had one goal. DeZutel had a huge game at the face-off X, winning 15 of 20 face-offs.
“We were able to control possession, and that enabled us to have the game that we had,” Curtis said.
Will Taylor chipped in an assist.
Nico Cione had 10 saves in goal in a winning effort.
For the Redskins, Ayden Demi and Ethan Roney had two goals apiece. Demi also had an assist. Ethan Roscoe had one goal while Pat Courtney had an assist. Ryan Richards (two saves) and Sean O’Hara (three saves) split time in goal for the Redskins.
