All but one of Chenango County’s football teams is vying for a winning season, yet just one is in the postseason hunt as we embark on week eight, the penultimate in Section IV’s regular season.
Greene, a playoff qualifier last year in Class C, needs to shake off consecutive losses and defeat Tioga tonight at home to duplicate that feat. Both teams enter with identical won-loss records within Division V with all the respective wins and losses coming to the same teams. “We have an opportunity to make the playoffs two years in a row, and not too many players from Greene can say that,” said Greene head coach Tim Paske. “We talked to the kids and asked them what type of legacy do they want to leave behind. We want to establish a consistent program and make this a year in and year out thing. We’re right at the level where we want to be competing with the top teams. Now it’s time to take that our turn and beat those top teams.”
Elsewhere, Sherburne-Earlville and UV-Edmeston renew a longtime rivalry this evening. The Storm need to win their last two contests to finish with a winning record, while the Marauders have an eye on a four-win season.
Norwich is one win from a five-win campaign, and can do that by knocking off Windsor on its senior recognition night at the new Ulrich Field.
