Greene 47, Sidney 20
GREENE – On homecoming weekend, Greene virtually spurned the passing game, and racked up a season-best 422 rushing yards to stay on course for a Class C playoff spot.
Three Greene backs rushed for over 100 yards, the first time that has occurred in one game under head coach Tim Paske, and the total rushing yards is the largest in the Greene mentor’s seven-year tenure.
After a Sidney turnover in the opening moments of the game, Scott Gorton connected with younger brother Kyle Gorton on a 20-yard scoring toss. That would be the lone completion for the Trojans, who came in averaging over 150 yards of passing offense per game.
Sidney, instead, received a steady dose of Trojans running backs Tyler Beckwith, Dan Jenks, and Nick Wilcox.
Jenks had scoring runs of 36 and two yards in the first half to give Greene a 20-8 halftime lead.
Wilcox added third-quarter TD runs of 27 and three yards in the second half, while Beckwith scored on a one-yard run, and Kurt Shear capped the scoring with a two-yard dandy.
Wilcox rushed for 121 yards on just six carries. Jenks had 110 on 12 totes, and Beckwith 104 yards. For the game, Greene averaged nearly 10 yards per carry.
Sidney’s Dylan Umbra had 64 yards rushing and 51 passing to pace his club.
Greene (5-1) plays at Chenango Forks (6-0) on Saturday.

Bainbridge-Guilford 28, Seton Catholic Central 19
BAINBRIDGE – Bainbridge-Guilford won its fifth straight game, and is one division win away from clinching a second straight Class D playoff berth.
Down by a score early in the game, B-G utilized its power running game to regroup and take the lead.
“They kind of threw us off a little bit at the start,” said B-G coach Tim Mattingly. “We prepared for their power and stacked ‘I formation,” and they came out in the spread and started throwing. We were able to adjust and limit their catches after that.”
On B-G’s second possession Daren Terpstra closed the score to 7-6 on a one-yard TD run. Billy Holden, who moved to fullback full-time – from offensive lineman – in the second half after a Terpstra injury, gave B-G the lead for good with another one-yard plunge.
Jesse Wood, who was coming off back-to-back 200-yard rushing games for Seton, hit paydirt on a nine-yard run as the Bobcats’ lead closed to 14-13.
Senior B-G quarterback, Justin Pepper, helped his team regain command with a 15-yard TD run and an 11-yard TD pass to Ryan Porter upped the lead to 15 points.
“Seton was bigger and more physical than we thought they would be, but I though our offensive line did a great job creating holes,” Mattingly said. “Their defense was intent on stopping our inside traps. Pepper did an excellent job running bootlegs, and that opened things up.”
B-G ran for 286 yards with Terpstra finishing with 89, Holden 73, and Pepper 71 yards.

Delhi 7, Oxford 6
DELHI – A successful extra-point at the end of the first half proved the difference in Delhi’s home victory over an improved Oxford club on Saturday afternoon.
The Bulldogs answered Oxford’s touchdown earlier in the second quarter when Rich Ennist scored on a two-yard run with 2:25 left in the opening half, and the point-after boot was true.
“It was kind of a stalemate the whole game,” said Oxford coach Mike Chrystie. “The stats (for Delhi) may be a little skewed because of two big runs, but at the same time, we played great defense. I don’t know if we could have played any better.”
Jack Fletcher had 161 yards rushing for Delhi, 87 coming on one play to set up Ennist’s touchdown run. Late in the game, and deep in its own end, the Bulldogs ripped off another run close to 50 yards to salt away the win.
Oxford (3-1, 3-3), who had a three-game winning streak snapped, scored first on a halfback option pass with just over eight minutes left in the second quarter. Freshman Paul Wonka connected with senior Jamie Smolcnop on a 31-yard scoring play. Delhi set the stage for the early score after a bad punt snap on fourth down.
The Blackhawks had two other opportunities to score inside the Delhi 10, and each time was stuff on fourth-and-short. “Since the second week of the season, we’ve played some good football,” Chrystie said. “For Class D, Delhi may be as good as it gets. This game shows how far we have come, and we should have all the confidence in the world that we can play with anyone in Class D.”
John Wonka threw for 128 yards to lead Oxford, and Jeremy Nelson had three catches for 87 yards.
The Blackhawks’ rushing offense, however, was stifled by a physical Delhi defense finishing with just two yards on four carries.
Oxford faces division rival Bainbridge-Guilford on Friday.

Sauquoit Valley 28, Sherburne-Earlville 0
SAUQUOIT – Sherburne-Earlville’s bid at a Section III, Class C playoff berth was quashed by Sauquoit Valley Friday night.
Steve Szatko opened the scoring with a 78-yard TD pass to Nick Critelli on the last play from scrimmage in the first quarter, then Szatko added three more TD runs to punctuate the win.
It was the second straight shutout loss for S-E (1-5), who have been blanked three times this season. The Marauders have just one touchdown over the past four weeks.
“We’re struggling on offense, no doubt about that,” said S-E head coach Mike Jasper. “We haven’t been consistent enough on offense, and that has put too much pressure on the defense.”
Chris Santiago had 53 yards rushing on seven carries to lead S-E’s offense, who finished with 122 total yards.
Szatko threw for 189 yards, although the SV offense was limited to just 109 yards rushing on 39 carries.
