SOUTH GLENS FALLS - The South Glens Falls Bulldogs scored three of their four touchdowns from 90 or more yards out, including a Pick-6 at the end to seal the 26-14 victory over the Ravena Indians on Friday Night.
The Bulldogs, now 2-0 on the young season, jumped out to an early lead thanks to Dylan Schrammel's 70 yard opening kickoff return for a touchdown to start the scoring. He would score again later in the half with a 95 yard punt return for a score with 9:43 left in the 2nd quarter to make it 13-0 Bulldogs. Aidan Daives would add a 99 yard pass reception for a touchdown to give the Bulldogs a 20-0 lead.
While the Bulldogs were doing it via the long ball, the Indians were gaining slowly on every drive. They would score their first of two touchdowns with two seconds left in the half, when Marlon Laing capped a drive with a 3 yard score.
The extended drives for Ravena resulted in a 21:00-3:00 time of possession differential at the half, running 45 plays to the Bulldogs nine during the opening half. The Indians had several attempts inside the red zone, but couldn't finish the drive as a goal-line stance for the Bulldogs resulted in two turnovers on downs inside the Bulldogs 10 yard line, including one right on the goal line that resulted in the 99 yard touchdown score for Daives.
Both teams had several stalled out drives in the third quarter, but Ravena began knocking on the door again in the 4th quarter, scoring from 8 yards out on a pass from Brandon Warnken to Rich Koonz. Laing's run to the outside on the extra point try would pull the Indians within 6. He would finish with 168 yards on 35 carries, receiving the bulk of the work for Ravena.
The Indians would drive again in hurry-up mode under the direction of replacement quarterback Nate Boomhower, aided by a pair of pass interference calls that gave the Indians possession of the ball inside the Bulldogs 15 yard line. But with time running out, Boomhower lobbed a pass that wound up in the hands of K.J. Mickel, who sealed the deal on a pick-6 from 95 yards as time expired.
Connor Bovair passed for over 100 yards, and Dylan Schrammel added to his two special teams touchdowns with 50 yards on 6 carries for the Bulldogs.
The Bulldogs return to Class A play next Friday as they travel to Averill Park to face the Warriors in a battle of 2-0 teams. Ravena begins divisional play next Friday as they head home to face the Hudson Blue Hawks.
