“We’ve been in that situation before in the past couple of years. We came out a little slow,” Southwestern head coach Jake Burkholder said about trailing early in the game. “They relied on each other and rallied around each other to right the ship and get things going.”

Jameson Walsh scored on a pair of 3-yard touchdown runs in the second quarter to give the Trojans (3-1, 3-0) a 14-10 lead before Neves Hoose added a field goal, Jacky Ni caught a 10-yard touchdown from Owen Hayes and Declan Kennedy ran for a 62-yard touchdown in the third quarter.

Brody Larson capped the Southwestern scoring with a 5-yard touchdown run.

“We have a handful of weapons with Jameson in the backfield with Brody and Declan,” Burkholder said. “We’re able to get some guys the ball in different ways and that makes it difficult to defend all facets of the game.”

Carson Fairbank made a 28-yard field goal and Devin Hewes caught a 5-yard touchdown pass from Brayden Gibbs in the first quarter for the Thunderbirds (2-2, 0-2). Fairbank capped their scoring with a 12-yard touchdown pass from Gibbs.

Walsh finished with 22 carries for 157 yards to lead the Southwestern offense. Tavio Hoose had eight tackles, including five for a loss, Walsh had five tackles and three sacks, and Ni and Larson each had six tackles defensively.

“They were able to move the ball, but a couple of penalties and turnovers on downs as well as two fumbles helped us out,” Burkholder said. “We were able to capitalize.”

NELSON SETS PAT RECORD

RANDOLPH — Griffin Nelson set a New York state record with 10 extra points as Randolph beat Cattaraugus-Little Valley 70-0 in Class D play.

The Cardinals (1-3, 1-1) led 42-0 after the first quarter and 56-0 at halftime. All that was left in the second half was seeing if Nelson would tie and/or break the record. He tied the mark, which was set by Tioga’s Gavin Fisher last season, with his ninth in the third quarter and then broke it with his 10th in the fourth quarter.

Talon Rowland carried four times for 185 yards and three touchdowns, Maverick Adams had four carries for 104 yards and three touchdowns, and Tristan Farnham had five carries for 100 yards and three touchdowns for Randolph, which amassed 438 yards on the ground.

Sophomore quarterback Jaxon Morrison returned to the lineup with a 10-yard touchdown run and a 26-yard touchdown pass to Adams.
