Witches Roll to Third Straight

73_greenwichEvery high school football weekend a typical spectator takes in one, or possibly two games.  Obviously that pace limits the number of teams one can put their eyes on, so we all form opinions on teams we haven’t seen based on scores, matchups and common opponents.

For me Greenwich was one of the teams I had not seen this year, and I wasn’t sure what to think about the Witches.  Carrying a 2-1 record coming into Saturday’s gave at Hoosic Valley, Greenwich had lost to Cambridge – Salem and posted wins over Granville and Hoosick Falls putting 48 points on the Panthers in the win.

Yesterday in Schaghticoke, Greenwich won their third straight with an easy 38-6 victory over the Indians, showing to me and anyone else paying attention, that the Witches are a very good football team. Continue reading →
