Jim Thorpe JV team was impressive in the first game of the season. After a slow start, the Olympians dominated on both sides of the ball. The defensive front seven allowed very little running room for bear runners. The secondary played sound as well with CJ Lehman making an interception.

On offense the Olympians did most of their damage on the ground getting 2 rushing TDs from Raul DeBenedittis and 1 from Gerard Barile. With the success of the ground game, JT QBs did not put the ball in the air that often. Kyle Busocker did complete a key pass in the flat while rolling left to keep a Jim Thorpe drive alive.

Sept. 8, 2006 – For the second week in a row, the Olympians scored more than 40 points. The Olympian offense reached the end zone 4 times. The Thorpe Defense was equally impressive holding Mahanoy to less than 80 yards on the ground and scored on Craig Zurn’s 33 yard interception return. Special Teams added a score on Phil Redline’s 88 yard kickoff return.
