Schuylerville Football Falls in Class C Championship

SCHUYLERVILLE — The Schuylerville varsity football team saw its season come to an end on Friday, falling 20-7 to Warrensburg/North Warren/Lake George in the Section 2 Class C Championship.

The Black Horses scored first, taking a 7-0 lead in the opening quarter after Lukas Sherman broke free for a 23-yard touchdown run. The Wolverines buckled down on defense, however, and did not allow Schuylerville to score for the remainder of the game.

W/NW/LG got on the board in the second quarter, with a three-yard touchdown run by senior Tristen Hitchcock. A two-point attempt was stopped by the Black Horses, who held on to a 7-6 lead entering halftime.

In the third quarter, the Wolverines were able to take the lead for good. Hitchcock found the end zone again, this time from two yards out, and a two-point conversion by Brody McCabe gave the team a 14-7 lead.

A seven-yard touchdown run by Landon Olden in the fourth quarter extended the lead to 20-7, locking up the win for the Wolverines. 

Sherman was 3 of 6 passing for 59 yards and had 62 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries. Martin Flanders Jr. had 60 yards rushing on nine carries, while Carter Phillips had one carry for 16 yards. 

Otto Bolduc had 10 yards rushing, a 22-yard catch, and an interception on defense, while Ollie Bolduc had a 28-yard reception. John McGarrahan caught one pass for nine yards, while Landen Cumm had one yard rushing on five carries.
