After Titusville’s first win on opening week, the ball boy for the Rockets predicted the team would go 7-3 on the season.
Four games in and the team had already maxed out the youngster’s loss column prediction, but that didn’t diminish the lad’s conviction.
“By the way, I think the rest of the way we can win them all,” said Noah Reynolds, Titusville head coach Mike Reynolds’ son. He was walking outside the chain-link fence at Carter Field during a boys soccer game.
He was aware that the football team was about to embark on a stretch of four games against opponents who are struggling.
The younger Reynolds knows his stuff.

On Friday they headed up Route 8 to take on a Seneca team that had only scored 50 points while giving up 163.
Head coach, Mike Reynolds, Noah’s dad, wasn’t taking the Bobcats lightly though. “Nolan Seabury is a good quarterback. I’m not sure it couldn’t argued he’s top three in the district,” Reynolds said about the Bobcats' signal caller. “They (Seneca) have an offense designed to help him move the ball.”

Titusville was prepared and up for the challenge of stopping the Bobcats on their homecoming night. They prevented them from adding to their scoring total by blanking them 35-0
Reynolds praised the defensive effort. “We were backed up sometimes. Kam (Kameron Mong) and, Schmitty (Brett Schmidt). Those kids were really working up field and getting into the backfield,” Schmidt had 11 tackles to lead the Rockets and also had solid tackling production from Nate Stears with 8, Jaxson Covell with 7 and a host of Rockets with five stops.
Offensively Titusville scored 14 first half points en route to their blowout win that included two long runs over 70 yards in the second half from Kameron Mong (73) and Jaxson Covell (72). Covell ended with 152 and Mong 150 of the Rockets 321 ground yards. Ian McDonald tossed for an additional 40 yards on two completions to Covell.
“Hats off to our kids, they work super hard to keep their heads up at this point in the season (with three straight losses,)” Reynolds said.
“They just keep growing and learning. It just makes this group such a great group to work with. I’m so proud of the progress they’ve made.”
Next week the 2-3 brown and gold head to Linesville to take on the Conneaut Eagles who will be looking to bounce back after getting blanked by Meadville 57-0. The Eagles are 2-3 with wins over Seneca and Warren so far.

The following week they go out Route 408 to take on Maplewood who is 2-3 after beating Reynolds 27-6 at home on Friday.
The Rocket’s finally return home for homecoming on October 13 against the currently winless Warren Dragons.
If Noah’s prediction runs true, they will have a winning record when they host tough Oil City with Ethen Knox, who will likely be District 10’s all-time leading rusher by then.
They finish the season against currently 1-3 Corry.
Coach Reynolds has vowed, if they go undefeated the rest of the season, that the team will carry Noah off the field on their shoulders.
