PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The Lee Seniors Saturday won back-to-back Berkshire County Youth Football League championships with consecutive undefeated seasons.
Lee, who has been unbeaten since 2022, continued its reign of dominance with an 8-0 win over Pittsfield at Berkshire Community College.
Lee’s Bryce Hoff went 59 yards for a rushing touchdown in the first quarter, and it ended up the only score in the contest.
Pittsfield, who had only lost one game in their season to Lee, early looked to find revenge in the championship game rematch.
Lee had a really good run game for the most part, with Hoff getting most of the carries.
Pittsfield made it tough for the South County powers to find good passing options.
Pittsfield’s defensive backs found ways to prevent the big plays that Lee is known to make.
Pittsfield Head Coach Lavonte Wiggins seemed very passionate during the game, exhorting his players with phrases like “you earned this game.”
But Pittsfield’s offense had some issues early into the game with its snaps, allowing Lee to have good field position.
Pittsfield’s defense did not allow any big yardage – outside of Hoff’s score – and stopped Lee on four separate occasions.
The teams combined to not be able to convert any fourth down plays.
Lee gave a lot of opportunities to Pittsfield in the red zone but, unfortunately for the Bulldogs, miscommunications caused bad timing fumbles.
It was a back-and-forth game all afternoon with both defenses excelling, forcing turnovers on downs and recovering fumbles.
Following the third quarter, both teams looked heavily equal style wise, with both teams running the ball most plays.
Neither team would find the end zone following the big run play by Lee.
Lee had some big plays on defense against Pittsfield, one including an 8-yard tackle-for-loss on a screenplay by Mason Lucy.
