Javon Barnwell was what his school called "a man on a mission" this week in leading Connetquot to a 41-0 shutout victory over Patchogue-Medford.
Barnwell was coming off of a very strong sophomore season, but no one could have expected these sort of numbers in game one of his junior year. Barnwell exceeded all expectations as he ran all over Pat-Med. Barnwell rushed 21 times for 170 yards and one touchdown. He also had three catches out of the backfield and as impressive as his day was it could have been even bigger had it not been for two other scores being called back for penalties.
Barnwell had outstanding blocking up front as his offensive line dominated all game. The big men up front allowed the offense to rack up 500 yards while only allowed one sack on 32 dropbacks. Jesse Bartick, Saief Alam, Alessandro Sorto, Sonny Kowalevich, and Camryn D’Ambrosio kept the offense behind them clean and upright. That led to Vincent Feraca, in his first varsity start, to throw for 337 yards and 4 TD passes.
Barnwell and Connetquot will now welcome in Sachem North for game #2 this Saturday afternoon.
