Fury takes bite out of Sharks

The Fury prepare to punch in another touchdown in a 41-6 victory over the Weymouth Sharks

Experts say the best thing to do to prevent a shark attack is to hit a shark back several times. The Mass Fury did just that in a 41-6 beat down of the Weymouth Sharks Saturday afternoon at Leicester Community Field.

Scoring came early and often for the Fury as they created a 21 point lead in the first half. Cedrick Crawford got things going with a 10 yard run in the first quarter to take a 7-0 lead. The following drive would bring more with another touchdown off a two yard run from Mike Webb.

Not to be outdone by the running game, Ryan Minns would get his first of four touchdowns through the air on a 30 yard completion to Matt McRae n the 2nd quater. These two would meet up for a second time in the fourth quarter. McRae would end the game with 110 yards receiving on four recpetions.

Minns other touchdowns went to Fran Collins followed by Berto Vega in the final seconds of the game. Minns would finish the game with 12-19 for 190 yards and four touchdowns to one interception.

A big reason of the success of the offense was the performance of the offensive linmen. The O-line did not allow a sack all game, and created gaps for the running game.

"We always pride ourselves on our offense, spreading the ball and creating holes for the running backs," said Head Coach Chris Chambers. "To have only one hurry the whole day is a great thing."

The dominance of the Fury was not just on one side of the ball. The defense held the Sharks without a first down until late in the second quarter. They would respond to that first down by recovering a forced fumble. The Sharks were forced to use multiple quarterbacks, and had little success with any of them.

The only bright spot for Weymouth was at the opening of the second half when they returned a kickoff for a touchdown. Their luck would run out right after when their attempt at a quick onside kick was recovered by Tony Bellizzi.

The play of the entire team was a great thing to see for Coach Chambers.

"I am definately happy with the way our team played today," Chambers said. " We did not have much scouting or know much about this team beforehand so it was great to see us play the way we did."

The Fury look to continue their ways as they next take on the Leominster Razorbacks. Game time is set for 7:00pm on July 25 at Becker College.
