RLM Sports High School Football

Week # 8 proved to be exciting for two of three home teams and 1 visiting squad followed by RLM Sports. The marque game of the week had to be the showdown of two unbeaten-NYS-ranked teams, #1 Maine Endwell in Class B and the #6 Class A Union Endicott. Over four thousand fans packed the Spartan football complex for a much anticipated meeting of nearby communities. M-E set the tone early as Nick Sorrenti and Justin Jacoby each scored twice, carrying their lead into the fourth quarter before allowing a Tiger TD enroute to a 28-7 victory. That win extended M-E's streak to 20 straight over several seasons.

Elsewhere, Jerry McPeak rattled off 4 long runs, including a 72 yard jaunt, as the Elmira Express punished Susquehanna Valley 51-20.

Rounding out local play, the Corning Hawks hit the road for a neighborhood visit to Horseheads looking to get back into the win column following last week's loss to Union-Endicott. The Defense for both teams was more than ready as fans witnessed a scoreless first quarter and eight minutes into the second. Horseheads scored first, a 9 yard pass from Trevor Dickinson to Bailey Bourgeois to make it 6-0 Raiders. Meanwhile, Hawks QB Connor Jacobs would launch the first of three strikes, the first 2 with 43 seconds remaining in the first half to give Corning the lead . Both teams scored twice in the second half, but it was Corning that left the contest with a hard fought 28-18 win.
