Greenwich 21 Cambridge/Salem 7
In a Saturday afternoon matchup between Class D rivals, both ranked in the top 10 in the state, Greenwich put together a pair of short, scoring drives in the fourth quarter to come away with the well-earned “W” over Cambridge/Salem.
The home squad led through much of the game after scoring on the opening drive, a seven play, 58-yard march capped by an 11-yard Abe Cushing touchdown run, giving the Tigers a 7-0 lead.
The Witches also put points on the board on their opening possession culminating with a 1-yard quarterback sneak by Ryan Ingber but missed the point after and trailed 7-6.
That score stood until 10:43 in the final period when Greenwich, taking over on the Cambridge/Salem 48-yard line, needed just four plays to gain the lead on a 26-yard scoring strike from Ingber to Wyatt Jamieson and with the two-point conversion the visitors led 14-7.
C/S turned the ball over on downs on their next series with Greenwich taking over on the C/S 38-yard line. Greenwich drove the field and put the game away on a Will Weber 5-yard scoring run with 3:15 remaining.
Ingber finished with 57 rushing yards and 55 passing yards on 3 of 6 attempts.
Weber led the Witches ground game gaining 99 yards on 24 carries.

Alivia Criscione, on a cross from Kaydence Keelen, found the back of the net from just inside the 18-yard box for the 1-0 lead.
Shortly after it was Elizabeth DeRosa splitting the posts on a free kick for the Falls second and final goal of the match.
Panther keeper Chayah Rhoden saved 14 shots and combined with the Hoosick Falls “D” for the shutout.
