Irondequoit, Fairport, Penfield Win
April 5, 2008 - A sunny spring Saturday hosted a dozen varsity games in Section Five today. Winning were Irondequoit, Midlakes, Penfield, Spencerport, Pal-Mac, Gates Chili, Fairport, Thomas, Brockport, Churchville-Chili and HFL.
Irondequoit 13 - Schroeder 6
The difference was about four or five weeks. Whereas Webster Schroeder looked like a normal early season team, Irondequoit looked like they had been playing for a month longer as 
they captured a 13-6 win in Monroe County play.
The Eagles, coming off a tough loss to national powerhouse, West Genesee on Tuesday, looked sharp today, having "benefited" from the loss. "We let up for a six or seven minute period in the third quarter and Genny took advantage of that," said Coach Craig Whipple. "You can't do that against a team that good." The lesson was not lost of the team, however. They came back to practice on Wednesday, telling their coach, "We get it. We know what you're talking about. We've got to play the whole game and play hard every minute if we want to play with the best."
Playing the whole game today, the Eagles consistently moved the ball on offense with many crisp short passes that nearly always hit the mark, while the defensive players went after every ground ball and pressured the Warriors at nearly every opportunity, causing many misthrown passes and turnovers.
The Eagles scored the first three goals of the game. Drew Coholan scored two of his six goals (one assisted by sophomore middie John Padulo). Tyler Kleehammer scored the third at 7:45. With 0:16 left in the first quarter Billy Harris scored with an assist from Mike Tota and Irondequoit ended the quarter up 3-1.
Senior attackman Greg Wright was involved in all three goals scored by Irondequoit in the second quarter, assisting on two and scoring the last goal by himself. Padulo and Coholan scored the goals. Wright ended the game with 2g-4a. Tota added one more for Webster before the half which ended with the Eagles up 6-2.
After the break, Irondequoit went on a scoring streak, adding four more goals in a period of just over two minutes. Wright started it off with a man up goal (assisted by Kleehammer). When Wright shot thirty-seconds later, Webster goalie Scott Tota made the save, which bounced out in front of the cage and was picked up by Padulo who scored (unassisted) at 6:08. Sixteen seconds later Coholan scored again assisted by his brother Greg. They repeated the goal less than thirty seconds later to end the Eagles' scoring flurry. Webster scored their third goal when Joe Matison took an hard underhand riser that hit the top left corner past Irondequoit sophomore goalie Tyler Nash. Senior middie Bryan Haight ended the scoring in the third after receiving a crease feed from Wright.
Irondequoit added two more goals at the top of the last quarter and just before the Eagles unloaded the bench. Mike Wallenhorst found Drew Coholan in front of the crease for the first goals and was hit hard after the shot earned the Warriors a one minute penalty. When the Eagles won the next face off, they passed the ball five times before Tony Micelotta scored (in Man up) after getting the feed from Wright. Pete Noto scored (unassisted) the first of three goals for Schroeder to end the game. Nate Powe hit the back of the net after the next face off (assisted by Mark Butto) and Butto ended the scoring with his unassisted goal at 2:48.
Coach Matt Petz was disappointed in the effort, telling the team at one point, that they needed to increase the level of intensity. There were times on the defensive end of the field, when the Eagles picked up ground balls with little or no challenge. The Warriors will get a chance to look better, when they host the Eagles on May 8th but will have their hands full over the next two weeks as they play Churchville-Chili, Penfield, Penn Yan and Amherst.
Scoring for Irondequoit were Drew Coholan (6g), Greg Wright (2g-4a), Jon Padulo (2g-1a), Tyler Kleehammer (1g-1a), Bryan Haight (1g), Tony Micelotta (1g-1a), Mike Wallenhorst (2a), Greg Coholan (1a). Tyler Nash had 7s/6ga in the nets for the Eagles.
Scoring for Schroeder were Mike Tota (1g-1a), Mark Butto (1g-1a), Billy Harris (1g), Joe Matison(1g), Pete Noto (1g) and Nate Powe (1g). Scott Tota played all but two minutes in the nets recording 8s/13ga. Brian Enck took the last two minutes of the game but faced no shots for the Warriors.

Thomas 15 - Hilton 5
In a game that was held at Brighton High School, the Thomas Titans started the day in the wrong uniforms but from that point on most of the day went well.
