The Greene Trojans and the Sidney Warriors battle on the playing field every time they meet. Most of the games come down to a final play or possession to determine a winner.
Greene, currently 5-3, will square off with the undefeated Warriors (8-0) in the Section IV Class D semifinal Johnson City High School Saturday afternoon.
The two teams met in week one of the season and Sidney came out on top again with the three point win as Liam Matthews was able to intercept the Trojans’ pass thrown by quarterback Nate Erickson.
Nearly the same play happened around this time a year ago when the Greene and Sidney met in the Class D semifinals at Binghamton High School.
As the Trojans have a balanced offensive scheme between running plays and passes thrown, their defense will need to be ready for the air attack of the Warriors.
Paaaaassss....
If planning to attend the game Saturday, get used to hearing “Pass!” shouted from the Greene sidelines. Sidney has racked up 2,485 yards through the passing game this season compared to their 1,038 yards on the ground, accounting for 70.5 percent of their total offense.
