Wildcats push for playoff position

A 20 point divisional win in Week 6 is a huge boost to a team like Johnson City, that despite starting the year 1-3, has bounced back for an even 3-3 record and a tie for second in Division II with Norwich.  The Wildcats and the Purple Tornado have one week to gain separation before going head to head in the last week of the regular season.

The top two teams in the division get home field advantage in the first round of the playoffs, and that's something that head coach Fred Deinyhardt feels is important for postseason success.  But he also knows, that the road ahead, likely, brings with it a, recently, unbeatable team in Maine-Endwell who currently leads the division.

Hornets not sitting back after loss

When two undefeated teams go head-to-head, logic dictates, only one will remain unbeaten.  Unfortunately for the Harpursville Hornets, on Saturday that was not them.  Trying to rally from a 19 point halftime deficit is never an easy task, but trying to do so against a tough team with a lot of depth like the Tioga Tigers, is that much difficult.

For the Hornets, the second half was much better than the first, trading touchdowns with the Tigers, ultimately only a six point, second half deficit, albeit in favor or Tioga.  While losing your first game of the season is never easy, this late in the season, there is some solace in the fact that it was done against another undefeated team.  It may feel like a long week at practice waiting for the Oxford Blackhawks on Friday, but the Hornets are learning and growing from their Week 6 loss.  It's also good to know, that their likely opponent in the Playoffs would be the Tioga Tigers, and a chance for revenge.
