The South Attleboro White Hawks kicked off the 2010 campaign in 3 different locations, but made their presence felt around the league.

In Lincoln, one of the two 5th grade teams started off strong, but fell short to the Seekonk Warriors in the end. Quarterback Shane Joubert looked strong, completing passes to Drew Pagano and Nick Hood for big gains, while running backs Aidan McKenna, Corey McKenna and Tyler Abraham all had solid gains on the ground. Defensively, the big linemen Ty Scurry, Matt Jimenez and Ed Noel disrupted the Warriors backfield, allowing Corey McKenna to intercept a ball and run it back 50 yards and John Candiales to rackup the tackles.

In North Providence, the 8th grade team battled strong against the New Bedford Whalers, but just ran out of steam at the end. Nick Desmarais led the White Hawks out to a strong start, with some crisp passing and the effective running of Michael Lee, who scored on an 8 yard rumble after setting it up with a 45 yard run, and Evan Sheehan, behind the blocking of Tim Christensen, James Potter, George Downing, Jeff Toomey, Charlie Culhane and Jordan Scurry. Desmarais connected on the White Hawks' first score to Jaston Robinson, with Scurry kicking the conversion through the uprights.

Playing in Darlington against the Braves, the rest of the White Hawks' teams were as formidable opponents as you could ask for. The Flag team started out the day, running the ball well, with great blocking up front. The offensive line came up big, allowing Blake Garzaro to score once and Parker Sackett to tally up two touchdowns of his own.

The next game featured the White Hawks' Junior Mite Team. Bryant Ciccio, Jameson Allessandro, Anthony Cascio and Josh Joubert started the day on defense and kept the Braves pinned back in their own zone. The Junior Mites ran two seperate offenses against the Braves, both with tremendous success. The Red Offense, with quarterback David Albert taking snaps from James Moffet had huge gains by backs Ciccio, Cameron McKenna and Zachary Green, while linemen Chris Gordon, Luke Vallaincourt, Danny Marguerite and Devon Birch made holes for them to run through. The White Offense was next, powered by the center/quarterback combo of Dominic Ingemi snapping to Isa Siddiq. The offensive line of Caleb Murphy, Zane Gariepy, Jack Handy, Brian DeFlaminio, Austin Proulx, Alec Eaton, Aaron Dumont and Brian Moore held the Braves' defense at bay and Anthony Hoyt. Kendrick Santos and John Connolly all had strong performances on the field.

Next came the White Hawks' 4th and 5th grade Black team who got off to a great start against Darlington. In the first quarter, the White Hawks defense held the Braves to just 7 yards and the Whie Hawks' offense capped off an 8 play, 42 yard drive with a 5 yards touchdown run by Trevor Koppy on the first play of the second quarter. Unfortunately, the lead was short lived as the injury bug bit the White Hawks hard im the 2nd quarter. Koppy finished the game with 31 yards, while Justin cote had 49 of his own. Quarterback Billy Reynolds, behind the blocking of Desmond Woodson, Jonathan Leon and Kyle Walsh moved the ball effectively connecting twice to Walsh for 32 yards. Defensively, the White Hawks were anchored by Eddie Porreca who had 6 tackles and 3 assists.. Woodson, Walsh and Matt corrado all contributed with 4 tackles and cote and Koppy added 2 each to the total, but it just was not
enough to stem the tide.

The 6th grade team followed and, while the final score was 19-6, the White Hawks carried the play most of the day. Offensive linemen, Chris Coutoulakis, Sam Haven, Zach Sousa and Will McPherson came up big, pushing the Darlington defense around the field and leading the way to 160 rushing yards. Touchdown runs by Sam Corrado (3 yards) and Jacob Vieira (a HUGE 55 yarder!), and a 35 yard touchdown completion from Steve Hamerski to Corrado provided the offense, with Tyler McGovern passing to Josh Gravel for a conversion on one of the scores. Not to be outdone, the White Hawks' defense was immense, with Jason Mota racking up 12 solo tackles, 8 in the backfield and Ryan Neuendorf, Ethan Hardy and McGovern all making touchdown saving tackles at various times, limiting the Braves to one score for the day.
