Jumper, Baker and Hines, all eighth-graders, are the lone players on Moore Haven who attend Pemayetv Emahakv Charter School on the Brighton Reservation. In addition to the TD pass, Hines had a handful of other completions, some of which went for 20-plus yards, including a 45-yarder. On defense, Hines, Jumper and Baker were in on several tackles. Baker made a solo tackle in the third quarter. Jumper made the game’s first tackle on the opening kickoff and he also ran down a Canterbury player who was headed to the end zone following an interception. Canterbury built a comfortable 27-6 lead at halftime. Moore Haven played a sharper second half compared to a shaky first two quarters, but the Terriers weren’t able to make much of a dent in the deficit. The officials ended the game with 1:29 left in the fourth quarter when a heated skirmish broke out in the middle of the field after a Moore Haven running back was lifted up and body slammed to the turf on a tackle by a Canterbury player. A confrontation between the teams ensued as players had to be pulled back to their respective sides. Moore Haven coaches were livid that no penalty was called on the play. After making a fingertip catch, Jumper sprints to the end zone for Moore Haven on Oct. 16 in a middle school game against Canterbury School. Hines and Jumper are 8th-graders at PECS.
