Game 9 Recap
The Jamestown Chiefs of the Northeastern Football
Alliance were all about having fun on Strider Field.
They rattled off 39 unanswered points to start the
game before ultimately winning 46-14 against the
Southern Tier Diesel. Halfback passes, trick plays and
everything in between were all fair game for the Chiefs,
who were simply just trying to have fun.
''We had a team discussion at practice and we
decided the team needed to know how to have fun,''
Chiefs coach Brendan Carter said.
For many of the players, it can't get more fun than
scoring 46 points at home.
Five different players scored touchdowns in the
game. Gary Kum caught two touchdown passes, James
Dickey ran in two touchdowns and Brian Hardy, Chad
Slade and Mark Richardson scored once each.
It was Dickey's fourth-quarter score that sealed the
win for the Chiefs from 30-plus yards out, but even the
native Jamestown running back gave credit where it
was due after the game.
''The line stood strong,'' Dickey said. ''We executed
well and it was a true overall team effort tonight.''
It was only their second win of the season, but as a
franchise, it was one step in the right direction for the
Chiefs. After the win, Jamestown sits in third place of
the Niagara Division at 2-5 with two road games
remaining.
Next week the Chiefs will have to travel to Cortland
to play the Bulldogs in the first-ever matchup between
the two teams.
''We are going to approach next week's game the
same way,'' Carter said. ''We have to go to Cortland and
it will be like a family road trip.''
At the end of the day, the Chiefs are just looking to
turn their winning ways into something they can carry
with them into next season. Saturday's game was the
home finale for the club, which has two regular season
games remaining.
Whether its home or away from here on out, the
team looks to focus on one detail.
''It goes back to having fun,'' Carter added.
With Dickey running wild, Henry Leeper running the
offense at quarterback and a defense led by leading
tackler Ryan Macintyre, the Chiefs look to pose a threat
to the NFA for years to come.
The season ends on Sept. 5 with an away game at
the Rome Rampage, but in the first year of existence,
the Chiefs have made strides to become the newest
semi-professional football team to succeed in
Jamestown.
On Saturday they honored the Jamestown Dukes
from the 1940s, they won their first home game as a
franchise and with Carter at the helm, it looks to be the
first of many wins at home for the Chiefs.
