In their first game of the regular season, the COWBOYS’ defense shut down the BILLS in a nail-biter 13-12 victory. On the game’s opening drive COWBOYS’ Defensive Back Dominick Smith put the team on his back with a spectacular play. After drawing the tough assignment of covering BILLS’ star Wide Receiver Will “The Thrill” Lipscomb, Smith ran stride for stride with him on a deep route. As soon as Quarterback Jake Kozarian threw the ball, Smith crept underneath the pass and snatched an interception away from Lipscomb.

“I was playing linebacker and I read the quarterback’s eyes,” Smith said.

Veteran Quarterback Caleb “Jaws” Jaworski and three-time Youth League champion Isaac Staresinic teamed up to lead the ‘BOYS on both of their scoring plays. First, Jaws eluded an oncoming rusher and threw a strike to Staresinic for the first touchdown. Smith caught the extra point. Then Staresinic, who was successful running the football all game, took a handoff the distance for the COWBOYS’ second score.
