Exciting weekend of local football with a lot of teams in action. Let's get right to the games...

Cobleskill v. Hudson

So far in the early season the Bluehawks have looked very good on both sides of the ball and although it wasn't pretty they were able to move to 3-0 on Friday night against the Bulldogs.

After a Nevin Sheldon touchdown scamper in the first quarter the Bluehawks surrendered a score in the second quarter and a score and extra point in the third to find themselves facing a 13-6 deficit heading into the fourth quarter.

Both Sheldon and Hudson quarterback Talib Barksdale went down with injuries in the game but it was junior Tayron Bryant who stepped into the QB role and led the Bluehawks to a come from behind win.

Bryant rushed for a TD and completed a touhdown pass to Brian McSween in the fourth quarter to lead Hudson to the 18-13 win.

This win should help to get Hudson ranked in the Class B state rankings this week with a big time showdown looming next week when they face Lansingburgh. 'Burgh who has dropped to Class B after a few years as an A powerhouse have started off the season hot, going 3-0 while scoring 128 points and giving up just 29.

Hudson will travel to 'Burgh Friday night for a game under the lights.

Taconic Hills v. Catholic Central

The Titans earned their first win of the year and kept CCHS winless with a 26-15 win. The Titans fell behind 8-0 after the first quarter but responded with 12 in the second, 6 in the third and 8 more in the fourth. CCHS only other score came in the fourth.

Nolan Boice ran for a pair of TD's for Taconic Hills while Chris McKay scored 2 of his own, one on a catch, one on the ground. Nick Warren also came through with a big game for TH including over 200 all purpose yards and a touchdown toss.

Up next for the Titans is a home game Friday night against Cairo Durham, another one win team. The Titans have a chance to carry over the momentum from this win against the Mustangs.

Chatham v. Fonda

In a battle of 2-0 teams the Panthers went on the road and knocked off Braves 41-20. The early season win all but assures the Panthers a top 2 seed in their division barring a huge collapse as the season continues.

David Coon got things started in the first quarter with a touchdown run before Fonda responded with a touchdown and extra point to take a 7-6 lead.

Josh Keyes scored the first touchdown of the second quarter with a scamper of over 40 yards but again their conversion failed. Fonda responded with a score of their own but also failed to tack on more points. Before the half Coon scored his second TD and Keyes ran in the 2 point conversion to give Chatham a 20-13 lead.

Coming out of halftime the Panthers potent offensive attack got on track with two more rushing scores. Keyes added a 30 yarder to his list of scores while Coon got into the endzone for the third time.

In the fourth Fonda struck first but Coon ran in for his fourth TD of the game to seal the win. In all Chatham rushed for over 300 yards and only attempted one pass.

Chatham has to "easy" games up next although it seems like the Panthers never take anyone lightly. The next two Fridays Chatham will host Coxsackie and Cairo before a big match up with Watervliet.

ICC v. Watervliet
