Greenwich Crushes Moriah, Advances to the State Semi’s

Greenwich 51 Moriah 6

If it was a fight, they’d have stopped it.

Greenwich scored three touchdowns on its first five possessions, turning the lights out early on Moriah and posting the one-sided Class D quarterfinal win on Friday afternoon at Colonie High.

Seven minutes in Greenwich held a 20-0 advantage courtesy of three Ryan Ingber touchdown strikes, connecting twice with Ethan Mullen from 49-yards out and finding Kayden Bentley on a 47-yarder in a dominant aerial attack that gave the Witches control.

In the second period both Ingber and running back Will Weber scored on 10-yard TD runs and the Greenwich defense held Moriah at bay sending the Witches into the break leading 35-0.

Wyatt Jamieson and Webber added rushing scores in the second half while Moriah avoided the shutout with a touchdown in the final minutes.

Undefeated and #2 state-ranked Greenwich advances to the state semifinals next Friday in Middleton and a 3 p.m. showdown with the winner of Burke Catholic/Tuckahoe.
