Cyclones head to the playoffs

ROME – Facing a must-win situation to qualify for the playoffs a fifth straight year, the Norwich Cyclones C team blanked the Rome Colts, 7-0.
Following a Rome miscue, the Cyclones came through with a hard-fought, tough win with Cameron Byrne scoring from the five-yard line with only 3:40 left in the game. A Michael Squires pass to Ayden John-Lorimer was good for the extra point.
The winning touchdown was set up by two outstanding receptions by Lorimer – one from Byrne on an option, and the other from Squires.
This was an outstanding game between two strong defensive teams with neither team threatening until the score.
Troy Spratley led the Norwich defense with key stops. Squires, Lorimer, Andrew Mullen, Byrne with an interception, and a huge fourth-down stop by Dante Geislinger held the Colts in check.
The Cyclones “B” team downed Vernon-Verona-Sherrill at Colgate University 30-6, to remain undefeated.
John Vinal III reached paydirt from the one-yard line to open the scoring. Thomas Parrella scored on a three-yard run. Noah Bufalini scampered for a 7-yard score, with Jacob Davis kicking three, two-point PATs. Parrella ended Norwich’s scoring on a 60-yard interception return for a touchdown and a 30-0 halftime lead.
Elijah Rodriguez, Vinal, Davis, Bufalini and Collin Montgomery led the tough Cyclones D.
The Cyclone “D” Team played to a tie with Rome in a most exciting “D” team game, and the A team had a bye.
