Skins go to 4 and 1
Neshaminy 34 - Truman 0

Never mind that Friday night's game against the Truman Tigers marked the midpoint of the season. As Neshaminy carved out a convincing 34-0 win, they did it with a number of firsts.

• It was the first game back for Senior running back Kitt Anderson.

• Anderson scored his first touchdown of the season.

• Already at game 5, Neshaminy played their first game away from the Ridge 2006.

• The Redskins posted their first shutout of the season.

• It was the first game delayed at halftime by a security threat.

It was good to see Kitt Anderson back in the lineup and he had an immediate impact with some nifty running, 84 total yards and a 3rd period touchdown. Meanwhile, Jason Ulmer had another huge game punishing Truman tacklers as he drove and churned on every run, making the yards succumb to his strong legs. With Andrew Flogel being another scoring threat, the 'Skins were able to use a very well balanced attack, getting points from four different players. Neshaminy got touchdowns from Jason Ulmer (2), Andrew Flogel, Ryan Evans and Kitt Anderson. It's a nice predicament for Coach Schmidt to be in - he has more good ball handlers than he knows what to do with.

As good as the 'Skins offense is proving to be, this shutout was not without a stellar effort by the defense. Neshaminy's  Dee boys closed in on the Truman runners quickly all night, forcing a lot of 3rd and long situations that could not be converted. The Tigers running game was contained all night by a 'Skins defense, led by Roland Wensae, that seemed to know where the ball would go on every play. The defensive effort was capped of with an interception by Austin Dahn who cut through the field then streaked down the right side 50 yards to the Truman one yard line. Two plays later Ulmer pushed the ball over the goal line.
