Greenwich 34   Moriah 6

The Witches eased out to an 18-0 halftime lead and gradually pulled away to the Class D state quarterfinal win over Moriah on Saturday in Beekmantown.

Greenwich quarterback Ryan Ingber put the Witches on the board with a 20-yard scoring run and soon after connected with Jayden White on a 39-yard scoring strike giving Greenwich a 12-0 lead after the first period of play.

Joe Radovich extended the Greenwich lead with a 23-yard touchdown run in the second frame and after the break it was Radovich again, this time returning an interception 48 yards for six, giving the Witches a comfortable cushion at 26-0.

Will Weber closed out the scoring for Greenwich with a 4-yard TD run in the final period.

The Witches defense dominated throughout holding Moriah to 85 total yards in the first half and added three interceptions on the afternoon.     

With the win Greenwich moves to the state semifinal round and a matchup with Burke Catholic on Friday at 3 p.m., in Middletown.  

 

 

Stillwater Girls Advance to State Final

Stillwater 2 Cincinnatus 1

Despite being outshot 13-4 in the match, Stillwater made their opportunities count connecting once in each half, and their defense held off Cincinnatus in a state Class C girls soccer semifinal on Saturday.

Late in the first half Stillwater grabbed a 1-0 advantage when Brooke Coon cleaned up a deflected ball in front, and the game went into the break with the top-ranked Class C team in the state holding the one score lead.

In the 75th minute Stillwater extended their cushion when Brooke Hodgson connected off an Ashley Coffer find for the 2-0 advantage.

But Cincinnatus wouldn’t go quietly, responding 26 seconds later when Payton Landers converted an open look from inside the box cutting the deficit in half at 2-1.

From there Stillwater’s defense, as they have all season-long closed the door sending the 19-1-1 squad onto the Class C championship match on Sunday and a meeting with Section V champ Byren-Bergen.
