The 2008 season began in earnest Friday night for several local squads as they began District 10 region action. Sharon looked impressive in a 41-0 victory over Reynolds. In other action it was: West Middlesex beat Mercyhurst Prep, 27-19; Kennedy Catholic fell at Linesville, 35-0; Lakeview defeated Conneaut Valley, 30-14; and Brookfield suffered a tough 29-27 loss at Jefferson Area. ä Sharon 41, Reynolds 0 — Sometimes when a team is as dominating as the Tigers were in their home opener, a coach actually has to search to find some faults. “A little too many penalties,” said Sharon coach Bob Fromm, shortly after accepting kisses from family members. While the Tigers did have 5 penalties, a number that some coaches would actually celebrate, there was little else they did wrong in the Region 3-AA opener. Coming after the emotional win over Farrell the week before, it did bring praise from the Tigers mentor. “We talked about it all week (not having a letdown after playing rival Farrell),” said Fromm. “We told the kids you have to be ready to play football each and every week. We said we wanted to start well in the league. The kids prepared themselves well.” Fromm was extremely pleased with the performance of quarterback Todd Rearick, who hit on 9 of 13 passes for 147 yards and 3 touchdowns, while also running for 59 yards. “We had to sharpen up some things in the passing game, we needed to get back to basics. Rearick was a little rusty starting the year (in the Farrell game), but he and Mike (Tomko) were on the same page tonight. “Defensively, the kids got off the ball well. We try to rotate kids so they stay fresh.” Sharon vaulted to a 35-0 lead before halftime to evoke the “Mercy Rule.” In that half, Rearick hit TD scores of 10 yards to Ron Howard, 46 to Dustin Norcross and 16 to Lewis Brown. Rearick also scored on a 2-yard run and Howard tallied on a 7-yard burst. Terry Flaugher was 5-for-5 booting PATs. The Tigers were so dominating on both sides of the ball in the opening half that they rolled up 226 yards while holding the Raiders to 28. With the clocking running throughout the final two quarters, the only other Sharon score came when Tomko ran 16 yards on a reverse. “It was a good performance,” praised Fromm. “But the kids know the drill. We still have a lot of things we can do better and some things to work on.”
