KELSEYVILLE >> Winning their sixth straight game and locking up a playoff spot in the process, the Kelseyville Chiefs shut out the Middletown Colts 7-0 Saturday during a pee wee game in the Mendo-Lake Junior Empire Football League at Kelseyville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt has been a long time since the pee wee level has been in the playoffs,\u201d Kelseyville head coach Joe Aiken said. \u201cAs a first-year coach my goals were to be better than last year, be a .500 team, and make the playoffs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chiefs (6-3) have now accomplished all of those goals, according to Aiken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Austin Aiken led the way on offense with 88 yards rushing, a touchdown and a conversion run. His score was set up Jace McLoud\u2019s 38-yard fumble return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was a battle,\u201d Aiken said. \u201cWe knew Middletown (2-3-4) was going to come in and be a tough game. Their defense was solid in the first half.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aiken and Ryker Vanderwall each had four tackles and three assists to anchor the Kelseyville defense. McLoud had three tackles, three assists and the 38-yard fumble return. Eagle Feather Pasalo added three tackles, one assist, and one sack. Leo Woita, Andrew Denham, Navarro Pruitt and Josiah Wilson also played well, according to Aiken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur defense came to play,\u201d Aiken said. \u201cWe gave up a few yards early in the game, but when we needed the big defensive plays they showed up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aiken forced a fumble in the first half to stop Middletown, and the Chiefs halted the Colts with a goal-line stand later in the game. McLoud\u2019s fumble return turned out to be the defensive play of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelseyville closes out its regular-season schedule at home Saturday against Westshore (8-1) at 3:30 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs always they will be tough,\u201d Aiken said. \u201cLooks like it might be a rain game, so you never know what might happen. I am beyond proud of this group. They have developed so much this season.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
