Bow Football 2024 has come to a close. We lost first round in the playoffs yesterday, though we did improve upon last week's performance vs the same fast, skilled opponent. Thank you to all who have supported the team this season, and to the game workers, chain gang, et al.
Bow Football completes the regular season with a disappointing hard fought loss last night. Thank you to all who came to support the team, and the game workers. Though we did play significantly better in the second half, the first half margin was simply too large. Still, I commend the team for the desire; we now set our sights on Playoff Week I.
A resounding win over a neighboring rival has Bow Football 5-3, as the regular season comes to a close next week. Thank you to all who came to support the team, the parental chain gang, and game workers. I am very proud of the gridiron prowess & effort on display today.
Bow capitalizes on opportunity to avenge 6-0 drubbing by Hopkinton in preseason game. Isaac Roz helped turn the tables with 2 snipes, the 2nd of which looking like it may have come off the foot of Spanish teen prodigy Lamine-Yamal. From 25 yards out, Roz launches a canon that curves into the top right hand corner, bar down. Did he just do that! Cam Harrington steps up from his usual center back position to hussle a goal as a striker. Eli Ordway started the scoring and German exchange student Jaden Lerch nabs a couple assists, one on Ordway’s goal and the other on a Roz finish. Gabe Abberton looked next-level at his goalkeeper position, including a PK save late in the game.

Bow Football rebounded well yesterday from two straight away losses to secure a hard-fought win over a perennial rival, serving as a capstone to our Senior Day. With our record now 4-3, we have but two games left in the regular season. I am very proud of the effort and determination on display yesterday, which should serve as a catalyst for the week. Again, well done Bow Football!

Captain Trey Catenza captures rare keeper PK goal to get his squad off to a 1-0 lead. The slim advantage carried through to midway into the 2nd half when DCM Jaden Lerch serves a pinballing corner kick that finds striker Isaac Roz’s foot. Roz makes no mistake about burying the ball into the short side netting. Outside back Harrison Fournier provides 80 stalwart minutes on the back line. Defensive mates Jack French and Will Knight also prove equal to the task.
TKeepers Trey Catenza and Gabe Abberton combine for 10 saves against rival Cougars. Catenza thwarts three first half breakaway chances helping his side to a 2-0 midpoint score. Abberton delivers a sound 2-2 second half score to secure the win for his crew. Caden Bechtold and Isaac Roz get the finishers in the 1st half. Bechtold slots a left footer from 15 yards out on a lovely touch off pass from DCM Wes Catenza. Roz’s goal comes on an uncharacteristically pedestrian scrum that squeaks by the Cougar goal line. The 3rd Falcon strike is highlight reel material. Bechtold adds an assist with a clinical 25 yard cross to the PK area that Bryce Gervais heads perfectly into the far corner for the eventual game winner. Roz puts the game out of reach with a crisp left footed breakaway tally.

Eli Ordway cashes in his 2nd regular season goal for the game winner against the Cavaliers at H-B. CB Jack French launches a 30 yard pass to striker Caden Bechtold who collects and shakes off a couple defenders to slot a smooth finishing touch into the lower left corner of the goal to draw first blood. “Fort” Harrison Fournier and captain Jack French don’t give away a challenge on the back line. Ordway’s goal seemed to seal the win until the HB Cavaliers had a 79th minute goal mouth strike to wipe the Bow clean sheet away. A scrambling last ditch effort by Hollis almost catches the Falcons off guard, but Bow hangs on for a 3rd straight victory.
Tough loss, though an exciting game last night has Bow Football 3-3, heading into Senior Day week, our last home game for 2024. Thank you to all who came to support the team, and to the game workers.We must now prepare in earnest for the seniors to have a memorable last "hurrah" on the field where so many of them grew up on, football-wise.
The vastly improved John Stark Generals give the Falcons all they could handle in a 3-3 draw in Bow. Newly minted starting midfielder Carter Conklin steals the spotlight with a goal, an assist, and what seemed like a rope on the ball. Striker Isaac Roz finds the twine twice for goals #14 & 15 of the season. An unfriendly post and a couple standout saves from the Generals keeper kept the hats from flying yet again for Roz. With varsity call up Caden Bechtold out of the lineup for JV, Eli Ordway slides seamlessly into the center attacking midfield position and gathers a helper on Roz’s first strike. The Generals take advantage of a favorable call to even at 3 late in the game.

A goal in each half was enough to carry the day for Bow. Bryce Gervais tucked away a corner kick scramble and fed the ultimate game winning breakaway goal to striker Isaac Roz. Backs Harrison Fournier, Will Knight, and Jack French provide staunch defending for their side. 2nd half keeper Gabe Abberton made all the right decisions to get one in the W column for his Falcons. Pembroke converted on a PK in the 77th minute, keeping the shorthanded Bow squad on edge until the final whistle.

A tough loss against a perennially skilled opponent has Bow Football now 3-2. While we did improve during the second half, a costly first half had us facing a margin too large to eclipse. We travel up north for the impending holiday weekend.

Caden Bechtold and Cam Harrington net 2 each in the lopsided win. Isaac Roz breaks his scoring silence with a goal and an assist. Eli Ordway finds twine late to close out the scoring. Bryce Gervais gets his name on the score sheet with a helper. Trey Catenza and Gabe Abberton combine for the clean sheet in goal, assisted by stifling defense from center back Jack French and outside backs Harrison Fournier and Will Knight. 5 star direct kick services by Jaden Lerch keep the Tide on their heels.
Despite early Falcon goals from Bryce Gervais and Jaden Lerch, the Coe-Brown bears bounce back with 4 goals to take a 4-2 lead late into the match. A Bow formation change garners a 75th minute goal by Caden Bechtold, but it was too little too late. Bechtold and Eli Ordway helped their squad stay close with an assist each. Standout play from outside back Will Knight, midfielders Jaden Lerch and the aforementioned Ordway also help keep fans anxiously watching the scoreboard clock till the final whistle.

Bow Football secures its first shutout during our annual FNL contest. Thank you to all who came to support the team, the parents' chain gang, and game workers. We have but one home game left for 2024, Senior Day 19 OCT. It was great to see the team play well, as this opponent beat us last year in a close game. As September closes, we are now 3-1, as we enter the heart of the autumn season.
Milford JV take full advantage of waning daylight and perhaps some questionable officiating to hang on for a 2-1 cross-your-fingers-and-hold-your-breath win. Caden Bechtold wipes Bow’s goose egg off the scoreboard with a deftly struck ball from 20 yards out. Bryce Gervais added to his season point total with the helper on Bechtold’s strike. The Spartans’ Alvaro, Alvaro, Alvaro! Canas scores 2 breakaway goals for his side to secure the first Milford JV soccer victory.

Anticipation was high for a Saturday morning matchup of 2 unbeatens. 2 teams showed up, but only 1 came to play. The visiting Bobcats pile in 3 goals in each half to hand the Falcons a humbling homecoming beat down. Substitute coach Mrs. V attempts to right the ship at the half with a change in the formation, but to no avail. Man of the match goes to the referee – for blowing the final, merciful whistle.

Bow Football secured its 2nd victory yesterday during an exciting Homecoming game. Facing a much-improved, determined opponent, we were able to persevere and certainly made a late summer afternoon memorable. Thank you to all who came to support the team, parents' chain gang, and game workers. Now we prepare for our lone home night game FRI.
Sophomore keeper Trey Catenza turns aside an early Plymouth breakaway to set the tone for the night. Caden Bechtold jump starts the Bow offense with a hat trick in the first half and adds a helper in the 2nd. Striker Isaac Roz joins the frenzy with a goal and 2 assists. Midfielders Bryce Gervais and Eli Ordway nab a goal and an assist each. Stalwart defending by backs Harrison Fournier, Jack French, Cam Harrington, Will Knight, Isaac Tobey, and Gavin Simon lock up the lopsided twilight victory.
Midfielder Bryce Gervais and striker Isaac Roz prime the 1st half pump with a goal each early in the half. A Falcon runaway seemed possible. Not so fast say the Pride strikers, leveling 2-2 by the halftime whistle. At the 55th minute, Gervais plunges a 16 yard left footed dagger into the twine in what would become the game winner. Caden Bechtold keeps his point streak alive with a helper on Roz’s snipe. Center backs Cam Harrington and Jack French defend superbly to keep MV off the board in the 2nd half. Keeper Gabe Abberton performs flawlessly to secure the hard fought win.
